Abstract
Selection of an appropriate supplier is gaining a lot interest among researchers working in the field of supply chain management .Often many suppliers are available in the market that fulfills some preliminary criteria. However the real task is to determine the most suitable set of suppliers (or key suppliers) subject to management as well as environmental aspects. In the current study, we present an approach to solve the multiple-criteria green supplier selection problem (mathematical model formulated with Data Envelopment Analysis) with the application of differential evolution. A hypothetical case demonstrates the application of the present approach.
