Due to the increasing concern towards environmental protection, companies have started to adapt environmentalist approaches with the aim of being perceived as green. However, this might not be enough in performing in a supply chain thus working with green partners is mandatory. Since suppliers have important effects on the performance of supply chains, it becomes more important to evaluate potential suppliers by considering environmental factors. This study proposes a novel integrated approach consisting of MACBETH and Taguchi loss functions for green supplier selection problem. The proposed approach determines the weights of criteria by using MACBETH in the first stage. These weights are used in Taguchi loss functions for ranking and selecting the best suppliers. A real case study from textile industry is presented to illustrate the applicability of the proposed methodology. Moreover, the impacts of the changes on criteria weights have been investigated through sensitivity analysis.

YEŞİL TEDARİKÇİ SEÇİMİ İÇİN MACBETH TABANLI TAGUCHİ KAYIP FONKSİYONLARI YAKLAŞIMI: TEKSTİL ENDÜSTRİSİNDE BİR UYGULAMA

Öz

Çevreyi koruma bilincinin artması sebebiyle, firmalar yeşil olarak algılanmak amacıyla çevreci yaklaşımları benimsemeye başlamışlardır. Bunun yanı sıra tedarik zincirinde bu yaklaşım yeterli olmayabilir ve yeşil tedarikçilerle işbirliği yapmak zorunlu hale gelebilir. Tedarikçiler, tedarik zincirlerinin performansı üzerinde önemli etkiye sahip olduklarından, çevresel faktörleri göz önüne alarak potansiyel tedarikçilerin değerlendirilmesi daha da önem kazanmaktadır. Bu çalışma, yeşil tedarikçi seçimi problemi için MACBETH ve Taguchi kayıp fonksiyonlarından oluşan yeni bütünleşik bir yaklaşım önermektedir. Önerilen yaklaşımın ilk aşamasında kriterlerin ağırlıkları MACBETH yöntemiyle belirlenmektedir. Bu ağırlık değerleri, Taguchi kayıp fonksiyonlarında en iyi tedarikçilerin sıralanması ve seçiminde kullanılmaktadır. Önerilen yöntemin uygulanabilirliği tekstil endüstrisinde bir vaka çalışması ile sunulmuştur. Ayrıca kriter ağırlıklarındaki değişimlerin yarattığı etki duyarlılık analizi ile araştırılmıştır.
