Abstract

Green supply chain management is based on both integrating the supply chain management and environment management, controls the environmental effects of products in their lifecycle via sharing the information and coordination. The aim of the present study is to identify and analyze the relations between the important factors of green supply chain management of the ceramic tile supply chain in Yazd province and rank the key organizations. Fuzzy DEMATEL method was used to analyze the relations between the factors and fuzzy VIKOR, fuzzy MOORA and fuzzy TOPSIS were implemented to rank the organizations. Fourteen factors were selected through a comprehensive literature review. After gathering the raw data from experts, the organizations were ranked.
