dc.description.abstract	Green supplier development is becoming vital for many industrial firms for effective green supply chain management. Most of the suppliers are willing to invest in many green supplier programs that developed in their firms’ performance. The evaluation and selection of an adequate green supplier development program is too complex and challenging as it has multiple criteria and alternatives to be chosen. These criteria involve both qualitative and quantitative information. To select the best alternative of the green supplier development program, it is necessary to settle these problems using multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) method. This paper proposes the integration of Pythagorean fuzzy AHP and Pythagorean fuzzy VIKOR approach to resolve the green supplier development program selection. The main goal of this study is to present a useful and reliable method to identify the most important criteria and alternatives using Pythagorean fuzzy AHP and Pythagorean fuzzy VIKOR. The first innovation is finding the weight for each criteria using Pythagorean fuzzy AHP. In order to do so, the crisp value evaluated by the decision makers (DMs) are presented in the pair-wise comparison matrix and converted to Pythagorean fuzzy number. The VIKOR is used to rank the alternatives of the green supplier development programs and suggest which program is the best program. Then, the obtained results are compared with the existing VIKOR method in the same case study. The results found the supplier training is the best alternative to select in the green supplier development programs. It is noted that the integration of Pythagorean fuzzy AHP and Pythagorean fuzzy VIKOR is a holistic approach to the MCDM problem.

Abstract:

Green supplier development is becoming vital for many industrial firms for effective green supply chain management. Most of the suppliers are willing to invest in many green supplier programs that developed in their firms’ performance. The evaluation and selection of an adequate green supplier development program is too complex and challenging as it has multiple criteria and alternatives to be chosen. These criteria involve both qualitative and quantitative information. To select the best alternative of the green supplier development program, it is necessary to settle these problems using multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) method. This paper proposes the integration of Pythagorean fuzzy AHP and Pythagorean fuzzy VIKOR approach to resolve the green supplier development program selection. The main goal of this study is to present a useful and reliable method to identify the most important criteria and alternatives using Pythagorean fuzzy AHP and Pythagorean fuzzy VIKOR. The first innovation is finding the weight for each criteria using Pythagorean fuzzy AHP. In order to do so, the crisp value evaluated by the decision makers (DMs) are presented in the pair-wise comparison matrix and converted to Pythagorean fuzzy number. The VIKOR is used to rank the alternatives of the green supplier development programs and suggest which program is the best program. Then, the obtained results are compared with the existing VIKOR method in the same case study. The results found the supplier training is the best alternative to select in the green supplier development programs. It is noted that the integration of Pythagorean fuzzy AHP and Pythagorean fuzzy VIKOR is a holistic approach to the MCDM problem.
