Abstract
In the rising of environmental consciousness, many international treaties and directives of environmental issues have been signed and made huge impact on enterprises. Therefore, the green supply chain management has been paid close attention in both academic and practical fields, and the supplier selection problem is one of important topics to study and investigate. Since the traditional supplier selection model has been studied for many years and already has many great works, this study aims on environmental issue which is green supplier selection problem. Literatures of international environmental directives, and supplier selection problem’s criteria and methodologies are surveyed and categorized in this study. A relationship diagram is proposed to include the influence, which comes from external factors. Consequently, formulate green criteria sets that consider environmental issues. Two green criteria sets are proposed that are different at the introduction of life cycle assessment (LCA) or not because Taiwan is still in the initial stage of LCA and is difficult to implement it practically. Based on the relationship diagram and green criteria sets, a green supplier selection framework and implementation procedure is proposed for practical use and as the foundation of the future studies in this project.
