(Elsevier Science Bv, 2015) Gurel, Ozlem; Acar, A. Zafer; Onden, Ismail; Gumus, Islam
Green consideration has been one of the most crucial issues for environmental protection due to increasing consumption level, and ill effect of the industrial developments, as well. For overcoming the negative impacts of the industrial processes, supplier selection can be seen as an important part of the green supply chain management concept due to its long term effects. On the other hand, many companies bestow a privilege on their partners if they have green consideration thanks to the positive perception of the customers. In this paper, a literature review is done for expressing what criteria effect the decision environment to build a better relationship with partners, and a criteria list for green supplier selection for textile industry is proposed in a hierarchic structure which is useful to integrate multi criteria decision analysis. The proposed criteria list is formed by eight main criteria and thirty one sub-criteria which consists green and also non-green criteria what are cost, delivery, quality, service, strategic alliance, pollution control, green product and environmental management.

Evaluation of the Parameters of the Green Supplier Selection Decision in Textile Industry
(inst Chemical Fibres, 2016) Acar, Avni Zafer; Onden, Ismail; Gurel, Ozlem
Green issues are a popular topic in today's business life, and it is possible to see green products or advertisements in many different places due to the demand for a healthier lifestyle. Companies that are willing to be a part of the green concept should integrate this philosophy in all departments. As a result, the procurement might be seen a crucial part of this integration. However, in the emerging markets, green issues might be pushed into the background due to the competitive environment. In this study, we investigated green and other parameters in the supplier selection decision in textile industry. A decision criteria list was created and evaluated by 28 experts using the fuzzy analytic hierarchy process. The results showed that green issues have an influence on the decision environment; however, classical parameters, such as cost, delivery reliability, quality, service, and strategic alliance still carry more priority compared to green criteria consisting of environmental management, green products, and pollution control.
