摘要
This study sought to construct a model for selecting green suppliers.The study was conducted in three phases:in phase 1,the literature was reviewed based on the meta-synthesis method and experts’opinions were analyzed to create a model composed of 11 dimensions and 40 criteria for selecting green suppliers.In phase 2,intuitionistic fuzzy best-worst method was used to weight the dimensions and criteria.The most important dimension was“green image”and the most important criteria were the“environmental protection system”and a good“public image.”In phase 3,four suppliers in the field of medical equipment were assessed and ranked.The study proposed a framework for selecting green supplier selection(GSC)and could prove to be more comprehensive than the existing models as it drew on the meta-synthesis method.Another innovation of the study was its reliance on the intuitionistic fuzzy set theory to overcome ambiguities in selecting suppliers.
