Abstract

Green supply chain management is a strategy which strengthens and integrates environmental consideration into whole supply chain. The green strategic supplier plays an important role in the implementation of green supply chain strategy. In the selection methodology of a strategic green supplier, some special requirements are needed which are different from the traditional supplier selection practices. In this paper, we combine the generalized weighted BM operator with Pythagorean 2-tuple linguistic numbers to propose the generalized Pythagorean 2-tuple linguistic-weighted Bonferroni mean operator, and then the multiple attribute decision-making methods are developed based on this operator. Finally, we use an example for green supplier selection to illustrate the multiple attribute decision-making process of the proposed methods.
