Evaluating the Green Supply Chain Management Barriers in a SME: An AHP Approach
Journal Title: International Journal of Mechanical and Production Engineering Research and Development (IJMPERD ) - Year 2019, Vol 9, Issue 2
Abstract
Over the last decade, Green Supply Chain Management (GSCM) has been in focus, as there has been lot of demand from environmental groups for optimization of resources in order to protect the environment. Hence, both the government as well as the consumers is more and more conscious about the implementation of ecological regulation to save environment. In order to do so, GSCM is a tool which needs to be implemented. There are certain enablers as barriers associated to the successful implementation of GSCM in any industry. The current research work deals with the study of 10 barriers faced during the implementation of GSCM in an SME. Further, analytical hierarchy processing (AHP) is used in order to sort and rank these barriers. The study is carried out at three different stages namely, finding the barriers, second defining the barriers and last ranking of barrier using AHP. The results obtained using the AHP model would help the decision makers in eliminating the various barriers on priority basis.
