Abstract

The importance of protecting the environment is increasing day by day due to environmental concerns such as global warming, human toxicity, eutrophication, and water scarcity. For this reason, companies have started to change their production processes to be enviromentally friendly. One of the necessary changes is to supply raw materials and/or products that are less harmful to the environment. Therefore, companies have to procure raw materials and/or products from green suppliers. This study, it is aimed to evaluate green suppliers for a textile industry under the interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy (IVIF) environment, considering various environmental and economic criteria. AHP and TOPSIS methods are integrated under the IVIF environment to be used in the evaluation process of green suppliers. In the integrated method, the IVIF-AHP method is used to calculate criterion weights and the IVIF-TOPSIS method is used to rank green suppliers. At the end of the study, a sensitivity analysis is conducted to observe the effects of changes in the weights of the criteria in the selection of green suppliers for the textile industry.

Aralık-Değerli Sezgisel Bulanık Ortamda ÇKKV Yöntemleri Kullanılarak Tekstil Endüstrisinde Yeşil Tedarikçi Seçimi

Abstract

Küresel ısınma, insan toksisitesi, ötrofikasyon, su kıtlığı gibi çevresel kaygılar nedeniyle çevreyi korumanın önemi her geçen gün artmaktadır. Bu nedenle firmalar üretim süreçlerini çevre dostu olacak şekilde değiştirmeye başlamışlardır. Gerekli değişikliklerden biri, çevreye daha az zarar veren hammadde ve/veya ürünler tedarik etmektir. Bu nedenle şirketler, yeşil tedarikçilerden hammadde ve/veya ürün tedarik etmek zorundadır. Bu çalışmada, bir tekstil endüstrisi için yeşil tedarikçilerin çeşitli çevresel ve ekonomik kriterler göz önünde bulundurularak aralık-değerli sezgisel bulanık (ADSB) ortamda değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. AHP ve TOPSIS yöntemleri, yeşil tedarikçilerin değerlendirme sürecinde kullanılmak üzere ADSB ortamda entegre edilmiştir. Entegre edilen yöntemde, ADSB-AHP yöntemi kriter ağırlıklarını hesaplamak için ve ADSB-TOPSIS yöntemi, yeşil tedarikçileri sıralamak için kullanılmıştır. Çalışmanın sonunda, tekstil sektörü için yeşil tedarikçi seçiminde kriterlerin ağırlıklarındaki değişikliklerin etkilerini gözlemlemek için bir duyarlılık analizi yapılmıştır.
