A NOVEL APPROACH FOR GREEN SUPPLIER SELECTION PROBLEM: FUZZY AXIOMATIC DESIGN WITH RISK FACTORS

Abstract

Today’s environmental conscious world forces companies to be more about energy and water consumption. New trends in the world generally provide competitive advantage to the firms if they work on environmental issues. As a critical decision of companies, supplier selection problem needs to consider the environmental factors and economical factors simultaneously. This study proposes a novel solution methodology for green supplier selection problem: Fuzzy axiomatic design with risk factors. This method is applied in many decision-making problems in the literature successfully. A case study is presented to implement the method and the results are compared with traditional fuzzy axiomatic design and fuzzy TOPSIS. It has seen that the decision of the best supplier selection can be influenced by the risk factors such as the deviation in the economical conditions or the working conditions of the company.

YEŞİL TEDARİKÇİ SEÇİMİ PROBLEMİ İÇİN YENİ BİR YAKLAŞIM: RİSK FAKTÖRLERİ İLE BULANIK AKSİYOMATİK TASARIM

Abstract

Günümüzün çevreye duyarlı müşterileri, firmaları enerji ve su tüketimi konusunda daha dikkatli davranmaya zorlamaktadır. Dünyadaki yeni yönelimler, çevresel konulara değer veren firmaların rekabet avantajı sağladığını göstermektedir . Firmalar için kritik öneme sahip tedarikçi seçimi probleminde, yalnızca ekonomik faktörlerin değil, çevresel faktörlerin de dikkate alınması gerekmektedir. Bu çalışma yeşil tedarikçi seçimi problemi için yeni bir yöntem olan ‘Risk Faktörlü Bulanık Aksiyomatik Tasarım’ yöntemini önermektedir. Önerilen model ülkemizden bir örnek vaka üzerinde uygulanmış ve elde edilen sonuçlar Klasik Bulanık Aksiyomatik Tasarım ve Bulanık İdeal Çözüme Benzerliğe Göre Tercih Sıralama Tekniği (TOPSIS) kullanılarak ulaşılan sonuçlar ile karşılaştırılmıştır.Önerilen model ülkemizden bir örnek vaka üzerinde uygulanmış ve elde edilen sonuçlar Bulanık Aksiyomatik Tasarım ve Bulanık İdeal Çözüme Benzerliğe Göre Tercih Sıralama Tekniği (TOPSIS) kullanılarak ulaşılan sonuçlar ile karşılaştırılmıştır.
