Abstract
© 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved. In recent years, many firms have become aware that environmental issues are critical barriers to the sustainability of a business. To overcome these barriers, several studies have been conducted to develop quantitative measurements associated with industry practices to prevent pollution and waste. As a result of the joint effort among industry players, green supply chain practices (GSCP) received positive feedback regarding their ecological and economic performance from two eco-industrialists. Hence, GSCP has become an instrument to provide a practical approach and reduce environmental impact while also affording economic benefits to industry. Firms are aggressively integrating green practice within their supply chains for balancing triple-bottom-line performance. Thus, the current study combined fuzzy set theory and the Decision-Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL) method for a hybrid approach to investigate the effects of each criterion within GSCP. Moreover, the hybrid approach offered a visual analysis for the Vietnamese automobile manufacturing industry to explore the indicators in GSCP implementation. The study results include the significant finding that recovering and recycling used products is a major criterion affecting economic performance. In other words, firms can improve economic performance in GSCP through establishing a recovering and recycling system. This study contributes a visual diagram to determine the main indicator for GSCP implementation in the Vietnamese automobile manufacturing industry.
