A New Dynamic Multicriteria Decision-Making Approach for Green Supplier Selection in Construction Projects under Time Sequence

Abstract EN

Nowadays, due to the lack of natural resources and environment problems which have been appearing increasingly, green building is more and more involved in the construction industry.

The evaluation and selection of green supplier are a significant part of the development of green building.

In this paper, we propose a new dynamic multicriteria decision-making approach in construction projects under time sequence to deal with these problems.

First, the paper establishes 4 main criteria and 17 subcriteria for green supplier selection in construction projects.

Then, a method considering interaction between criteria and the influence of constructors subjective preference and objective criteria information is proposed.

It uses the interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy geometric weighted Heronian means (IVIFGWHM) operator and multitarget nonlinear programming model to calculate the comprehensive evaluation results of potential green suppliers.

The proposed method is much easier for constructors to select green supplier and make the localization of green supplier more practical and accurate in construction projects.

Finally, a case study about a green building project is given to verify practicality and effectiveness of the proposed approach.
