A New Decision Model Based on Interval Valued 2-Tuple Linguistic Preferences for Evaluating Green Supplier s Performance

Under conditions of expanding environmental importance from business sectors, organizations in supply chains have perceived the significance of greening their supply chain within green supplier development programs. Different articles have begun to investigate the between connections between green supply chain management and supplier performance. Much of this performance can be accomplished only with suppliers inclusion in green supplier development programs. However, the studies concentrating on green supplier development programs is very limited. To address this gap in the literature, we present a new decision model based on interval valued 2-Tuple linguistic preferences and compromise solution for evaluating green supplier s performance. Due to the supply chain-experts’ different backgrounds and preferences, some of which may be imprecise and uncertain. Then, a case study from the recent literature in the manufacturing industry is presented and solved by the proposed decision model under uncertain conditions.
