Abstract —Green Supply Chain Management (GSCM) is recent innovation for enhancing Supply Chain efficiency. The ‘Green’ component stresses upon the need of environment friendly Supply Chain by focusing on the reduction of waste. The requirement of GSCM in India has increased due to several factors including corporate responsibility, environmental & legislative reasons and competition. Nevertheless, many manufacturing firms in India have not adopted the GSCM yet. This study aims to find out the major barriers in implementing GSCM in Small and Medium scale Enterprises (SMEs) of India and rank them according to their effect. Barriers have been identified through literature review. A research questionnaire has been used to conduct primary data collection. Two Multi Criteria Decision Making tools, namely Interpretive Structural Modeling (ISM) and fuzzy Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP), are used to rank different barriers. The results may help SMEs in establishing an economically and environmentally sound supply chain network. Keywords —Barrier analysis, Fuzzy Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP), Green Supply Chain Management, Interpretive Structural Modeling(ISM). I. INTRODUCTION Environmental issues have become very important in present times due to their high level of visibility (Sanjeev Kumar et al.). To gain strategic advantages, it has become necessary to change traditional supply chain (Dileep More and Babu, 2008). Programs such as design for the environment, life cycle analysis, total quality environmental management, GSCM and ISO 14000 standards are popular for environmentally conscious practices (Olugu et al., 2011). Sustainable Supply Chain Management (SSCM) has been identified as an appropriate solution to balance environmental, social as well as economic benefits in supply chain (Luthra et al., 2014a, 2014b). "Sustainable Development" was the key concept of the 1992 Earth Summit in Rio, as governments and international organizations committed themselves to take action to protect the environment as in integral part of long-term economic development (Ashish Kumar Bhateja et al., 2011). Organizational management is forced to incorporate the environmental management into corporate practices (Yang et al., 2010). Adding the green component to supply chain management involves addressing the influence and relationships of supply chain management to the natural environment (Ashish Kumar Bhateja et al., 2011). Green Supply Chain Management (GSCM) has received more attention in the last few years in academia and industries (Arvind Jayant et al., 2014). Green Supply Chain Management (GSCM) basically aims to increase the amount of ‘good’ outputs, that are Product and Revenue generated and reduce the ‘bad’ inputs and outputs that are Raw material consumed, Energy utilized, Capital invested and Waste produced during the manufacturing process. The six major activities of GSCM are Green Sourcing & Procurement, Manufacturing, Warehousing, Distribution, Packaging and Transportation (Ashish Kumar Bhateja et al., 2011). Small and Medium Sized Enterprises (SMEs) play a vital role in forming the economic foundation for the states of India. So, most Indian industries will have to develop supply chains from an environmental sustainability point of view by modifying traditional SCM to GSCM through initiation of green procurement strategies (Mudgal et al., 2010). During adoption of GSCM in traditional SCM, some hurdles can be anticipated due to the expected transition. These hurdles are called barriers and industries must equip themselves to remove them (Kannan Govindan et al., 2013). Although, no company would be able to eradicate all the possible barriers simultaneously some major barriers can be eradicated with GSCM. In present study, I have tried to find out the essential barriers by ranking them according to their effect on each other. 22 different barriers to GSCM have been identified through literature review. These barriers have been categorized into 5 different categories, namely Technology, Financial, Knowledge, Involvement & Support and Outsourcing. Two Multi Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) tools are used to rank the barriers as to get accurate result. These are, 1. Interpretive Structural Modeling (ISM) and 2. Fuzzy-Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP). ISM has been performed after listing down all the 22 major barriers from literature review. As an input, ISM takes the Structural Self Interaction Matrix (SSIM) of the barriers, which shows the contextual relationship among the variables. And as an output, ISM gives a hierarchical structure consisting of the all 22 barriers in hierarchy according to their effect and Analysis Of Barriers For Implementing Green Supply Chain Management In Small and Medium Sized Enterprises (SMEs) of India.
