Barreiras à gestão da cadeia de suprimentos verde na indústria automotiva

This study identified the barriers to and analyzed their degree of influence on Green Supply Chain Mana­gement (GSCM) from the perspective of a first tier supplier in the Brazilian automotive industry. There are 43 barriers in the literature of which 13 were validated: support and involvement (five), operational per­formance (three), economic performance (two), environmental performance (two), and knowledge and information (one). The validation occurred through the perception of technical and academic specialists familiar with environmental management and supply chains in several sectors. The hierarchy of barriers priorities was obtained through the application of the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), with decision makers representing an industry in the automotive sector. The research showed that the cost implications represent the most influential barrier to GCSV, from the perspective of a first tier supplier in the sector.
