Integrated CO2e assessment and decision support model for supplier selections

Schiessl, Andreas

Abstract:

The fast growing stakeholder interest in sustainability leads to an increased attention both on the ecological and social perspective of industrial companies and its products. While in the past the focus predominantly laid on the environmental impact of the product use phase, it recently shifted towards the manufacturing phase. Hence, both, focal companies and supply chain members are obliged to create and apply new strategies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions (GHG). From a purchasing perspective, the selection of more environmentally efficient suppliers is a possibility to significantly reduce CO$_{2}$e emissions. Therefore, transparency is required in form of site-specific and comparable data on suppliers’ environmental performance. This data is lacking and the detailed environmental performance criteria has not been integrated in supplier selection decisions yet.
In this dissertation a model is developed and applied to close the transparency gap and to integrate CO$_{2}$e as an additional supplier selection criteria in decision-making. For this purpose, a multi-criteria decision analysis approach is developed to derivate criteria weights and a supplier ranking based on expert opinion and quantitative supplier performance data. ... mehr
