Evaluation and selection of green suppliers for papermaking enterprises using the interval basic probability assignment-based intuitionistic fuzzy set

Abstract

With the vigorous development of the global economy, modern enterprises have agreed to implement green supply chain management. The evaluation and selection of green suppliers plays a vital role in successful green supply chain management. As a multi-attribute group decision-making green supplier selection problem, it is difficult to fully describe the evaluation factors using precise numerical values and classical fuzzy sets, so it cannot assist enterprise managers in making completely reasonable decisions. Therefore, this paper proposes a green supplier evaluation and selection method based on interval BPA-based intuitionistic fuzzy sets. First, build a green supplier evaluation index system based on the characteristics of the papermaking enterprise's suppliers. Then, the intuitionistic fuzzy number is used to express the indicators of the evaluator for each supplier, and the intuitionistic fuzzy information is integrated through the organic combination of the IIFWA integration operator and the structural entropy weight to obtain the comprehensive evaluation value of the evaluator. Finally, the interval BPA-based intuitionistic fuzzy set method ranks the candidate suppliers and determines the best green supplier. Applying this method to the field of green supplier evaluation and selection can provide an effective method for enterprises to select suppliers scientifically and reasonably, which has practical reference value and practical significance.

Evaluation of greenness of green buildings based on carbon emissions

“…The green building-related evaluation indexes were re-selected, and finally, a building greenness evaluation index system containing 6 primary indexes and 18 secondary indexes was established (Lu et al. , 2022; Kang et al. , 2022; Chen et al.…”

“…By reading a lot of literature, we refer to the new Chinese version of GB/T50378-2019 "Green Building Evaluation Standard" and the green building evaluation models proposed by domestic and foreign scholars. The green building-related evaluation indexes were reselected, and finally, a building greenness evaluation index system containing 6 primary indexes and 18 secondary indexes was established (Lu et al, 2022;Kang et al, 2022;Chen et al, 2022a, b). The established green building greenness evaluation index system is shown in Figure 2.…”

Green Supplier Assessment and Selection for Sea Cucumber (Apostichopus japonicus) Processing Enterprise: Case Study in China

“…Verma et al [20] show that green supplier selection will help in increasing the environmental sustainability of a company. Kang et al [21] found that the evaluation and selection of green suppliers play a vital role in successful green supply chain management. Segura et al [22] also argued that suppliers play a key role in supply chain management which involves evaluation for supplier selection problems, as well as other complex issues that companies should take into account.…”
