Nowadays, supply chain management decisions have become strategic decisions. Also, greening process of supply chain activities were required due to satisfy the customer expectations, and protect the environmental life. Since one of the strategic decisions for supply chains is the supplier selection, greening process also became necessary for supplier evaluations. Within this context, in this chapter, a comprehensive list of the criteria for green supplier selection was determined. Fuzzy Decision Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL) method was applied to determine the cause-effect relationships between the main criteria. Fuzzy Analytic Network Process (ANP) method was used to find the relative weights of the criteria. Finally, fuzzy VlseKriterijumska Optimizacija I Kompromisno Resenje (VIKOR) method was applied to prioritize the various suppliers.

Materials account for a significant proportion of engineering and construction projects budget. Therefore, selecting appropriate material supplier criteria is a critical economic decision, and it plays a significant role in the success of any engineering and construction firms. Traditional supplier evaluating decision-making methods are usually based on subjective opinions of experts, resulting in irrational and inappropriate decisions. This paper proposes a quantitative model for selecting a material supplier by using the Fuzzy Analytic Network Process and TOPSIS method. In this model, the material supplier selection criteria are weighted by using Group Fuzzy Analytic Network Process (GFANP). Then material suppliers are ranked using the Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) method. The proposed decision-making model can provide a robust approach for solving material supplier selection problems.
