Identification of Critical Success Factors (CSF’s) to implement Green Supply Chain Management (GSCM) in an automobile industry using Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) technique

Manpreet Singh

Abstract


Due to globalization, supply chains have grown more lengthy and complex and creating an adverse effect on environment, which paved a way in emergence of Green Supply Chain, management (GSCM).Total 77 papers dealing with GSCM were reviewed to understanding researcher’s contribution in GSCM literature. Automobile industry is one of the largest polluter amongst all industries contributing 80% of total CO. In recent stretch most of automobile industries, alter their supply chain to GSCM to increase their competitive advantage. This study deals with the application of AHP method for evaluating and ranking Critical success factors for automobile company to implement GSCM. The weightages were attained based on the pair wise comparison of attributes with the help of industrial experts and academia. The results of the study revealed the most significant CSF’s for implementation of GSCM in automobile industry.
