This paper aimed to define priorities for green practices that are observed in supply chain in cotton industry. Green Supply Chain Management (GSCM) is recent permutation for enhancing Supply Chain Efficiency. The “Green” component stresses upon the need of environment-friendly supply chain by emphasis on the reduction of waste. The requirement of GSCM in India has increased due to several factors including environment, corporate responsibility and computation. The focus of this study is on the area of prioritization of factors of Green Supply Chain Management for increasing eco-efficiency and eco-friendly performance of cotton industry using TOPSIS MCDM technique. Various factors of supply chain are available in different literature. Factors of supply chain can improve the performance of organization. The goal of the study is the selection of best factors, which can affect the supply chain and improve the performance of the cotton industry. For selecting appropriate factors, it is found that some Multi Criteria Decision Making Methods must be used due to their ability of converting a complex problem to a paired-wise comparison. These methods are used to provide a hierarchy-based relationship between goal of the research which consider criteria, subcriteria and alternatives.

Abstract


This paper aimed to define priorities for green practices that are observed in supply chain in cotton industry. Green Supply Chain Management (GSCM) is recent permutation for enhancing Supply Chain Efficiency. The “Green” component stresses upon the need of environment-friendly supply chain by emphasis on the reduction of waste. The requirement of GSCM in India has increased due to several factors including environment, corporate responsibility and computation. The focus of this study is on the area of prioritization of factors of Green Supply Chain Management for increasing eco-efficiency and eco-friendly performance of cotton industry using TOPSIS MCDM technique. Various factors of supply chain are available in different literature. Factors of supply chain can improve the performance of organization. The goal of the study is the selection of best factors, which can affect the supply chain and improve the performance of the cotton industry. For selecting appropriate factors, it is found that some Multi Criteria Decision Making Methods must be used due to their ability of converting a complex problem to a paired-wise comparison. These methods are used to provide a hierarchy-based relationship between goal of the research which consider criteria, subcriteria and alternatives.
