Performance Measurement of GSCM in Foundry Industry by using MADM Technique

Seeone Sharma, Sunil Kadiyan

Abstract


It is very important to focus on parameters of Green Supply Chain Management for its successful implementation in Indian foundries. The benefits of Green Supply Chain management are calculated with the help of Analytical Hierarchy process. The AHP method decomposes the goal into constituent parts and makes a hierarchy of attributes and each attributes is given weight-age individually. The importance of Analytical hierarchy process over other MADM techniques is its ability to check its consistency. The complicated group decisions can be easily done with the help of this method by taking geometrical mean of each pair wise comparison. The Analytical Hierarchy process combines the information from various, simultaneously interacting attributes and sub-attributes, to determine relative standings of Green Supply Chain Management techniques for effective implementation in Indian foundries. Foundries of India were sampled for empirical study. The relation among green supply chain and environmental related performance is studied. Green Supply Chain Management benefits were then justified by using sampled data with the help of Analytical Hierarchy process, a Multi-Attribute Decision Making Method.
