A model for carbon management of supplier selection in green supply chain management

This study aims to utilize the Decision-making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL) and Analytic Network Process (ANP) approach to recognize the causality and determine relative weights of evaluation criteria of carbon management in green supply chain for improving the overall performance of suppliers in terms of carbon management. Thirteen criteria of carbon management with three dimensions were identified from literature review and interview with three experts at an electronics manufacturer. Results indicated that the four most important criteria of supplier selection in terms of carbon management were carbon governance (0.180), management systems of carbon information (0.163), training related to carbon management (0.142), and carbon policy (0.125). The proposed framework of supplier selection that can offer an insight for managers to understand cause-effort relationship and to select appropriate suppliers that is capable of having competence in carbon management and to improve suppliers´ performance.
