Abstract
Purpose
This study aims to determine the extent to which the textile industry considers ecological issues in the supplier evaluation process by examining the relationships between environmental and operational criteria.
Design/methodology/approach
The supplier evaluation process within the industry was examined using the Fuzzy DEMATEL-based Analytic Network Process (FDANP) hybrid method. Criterion relationships were determined using the Fuzzy DEMATEL method. Two different ANP processes (the classical DANP approach and the new DANP approach) were used to assess the criterion weights, and the analysis results were compared. The satisfaction levels of suppliers with whom businesses collaborated were also examined using IPA analysis.
Findings
The results of the hybrid approaches with different steps in the study also differ. While the classic FDANP approach prioritizes cost and quality in the green supplier evaluation process, green products and EMS come to the fore according to the new FDANP approach. In addition, while businesses are satisfied with the operational performance of suppliers, their environmental performance remains below average.
Research limitations/implications
This study was conducted in a sector-specific context, limited to Denizli province and green raw material suppliers.
Practical implications
This study revealed important findings regarding environmental awareness in buyer-supplier relations in the textile industry and offers a practical decision-making tool for decision- makers.
Social implications
The results of this study may help industrial enterprises gain an environmental perspective when planning their operations to create a more sustainable environment.
Originality/value
This study contributes to the literature from a holistic perspective by examining the role and importance of operational and environmental criteria in the green supplier evaluation process in the textile industry.
