The Evaluation on Environmentally Friendly Condition of Manufacturing Supply Chain

Implementation of environment-friendly assessment in the course of supply chain management not only has significant environmental benefits, economic and social benefits, but also is an effective means of achieving sustainable development. Until now, there have been many researches, both at home and abroad, on the evaluation of single-business environmentally friendly condition, while there is only few studies enterprise supply chain’s environment-friendly state. Still, previous evaluation methods are mostly quantitative analysis, which cannot assess the environmental performance of enterprise supply chain completely and accurately. Based on the relevant environmental standards and regulations, combined with the characteristics of manufacturing and green supply chain, consulting the relevant researches, this paper uses Delphi method to establish a set of new index system reflecting the whole environmentally friendly conditions of green supply chain in manufacturing. This paper develops Fuzzy AHP (F-AHP) as the evaluation method of environment-friendly conditions of the manufacturing supply chain. This method is more practical and easy to implement, for which integrates the advantages of quantitative and objectivity AHP into tolerance of the fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method. Its application of Fuzzy AHP is also exemplified, and theoretical references for the whole evaluation of environment-friendly condition of green supply chain in manufacturing are provided.
