Purpose – Green supply chain management (GSCM) has become the driver of sustainable strategy. This topic has been gaining increasing attention within both academia and industry for making the industry competitive. With the ever increasing demand for reducing carbon foot prints and greenhouse...

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to assist a manufacturer for determining the principal supplier development impediments (SDIs) that are affecting the supplier development programs (SDPs) and yield a basis for drawing the appropriate mitigation strategies. Design/methodology/approach The...

Data envelopment analysis (DEA) has been widely applied to address various decision analysis problems due to its usefulness in evaluating multi‐criterion systems and providing improvement targets for such systems. A supplier selection problem is inherently a multi‐criterion decision problem,...

Supply chain management as a system of operation continues to evolve. This study employs confirmatory factor analysis and path analysis to examine empirically the relationships among supplier selection criteria (quality, delivery reliability, product performance and unit price), supplier...

Purpose – In order to improve the supply chain performance, organizations need to improve the efficiency of vendors. Although many techniques are used for vendor efficiency measurement, there is a lack of research about defining satisficing level to analyze improvement potential of vendors....

Purpose – The nascent behavioral supply management (BSM) research stream has raised the level of attention given to deviations from the standard assumptions of the rational paradigm in economics. The adaptation of cognitive heuristics , which add vulnerability to judgment and decision making,...

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to present a four‐phase dynamic feedback model for supply partner selection in agile supply chains (ASCs). ASCs are commonly used as a response to increasingly dynamic markets. However, partner selection in ASCs is inherently more complex and difficult...

Purpose – Research studies have revealed that supplier involvement in the design process is not widely practised. Aims to discuss the lack of an appropriate customer‐supplier interface to assess the suitability of suppliers with reference to design criteria. Design/methodology/approach –...

Purpose – This paper aims to propose a new approach called “analytical hierarchy process weighted fuzzy linear programming model (AHP‐FLP)” for supplier selection. Design/methodology/approach – A hybrid method of supplier selection, AHP‐FLP is applied to a real industry case. The...

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to present an approach to identify and rank the criteria used for the supplier development using interpretative structural modeling (ISM). Design/methodology/approach – The paper develops a framework to analyze the interactions among the criteria such...
