Türk tekstil ve hazır giyim endüstrisi için KFG ve AAS ile sürdürülebilir tedarikçi seçme problemi

Focusing environmentally green and socially conscious topics as a manufacturer has major significance in today's highly industrialised world. The governmental regulations, increasing customer awareness towards the environment and society, and the expectations from the manufacturers made companies take actions about sustainability in their in- company and external practices. Companies are not only responsible for their in- company practices but also for their vendors' operations. Supplier evaluation and selection is especially critical for manufacturing companies because of its direct relation with the competitive advantage, quality of the procurement, and its influence on the firm's operations eventually. Environmental and social sustainability have become a very hot topic in textile and clothing industry, since it is the world's second most polluting sector. Fashion industry is a labour-intensive sector, where social role of the firms towards its employees and stakeholders extremely matter. In Turkey textile and clothing industry is the second largest sector with its high contribution to the economy. This study aims to create a generic model for apparel and textile companies that search for environmentally green and socially conscious suppliers in Turkey. The proposed supplier selection model includes conventional criteria as well as environmental and social sustainability parameters since social responsibility and environmental issues emerge today. In order to get the most effective and fitting criteria for the aim, the literature has been reviewed extensively. An integrated Quality Function Deployment (QFD) and Analytical Network Process (ANP) approach is proposed for selecting the most sustainable supplier for a textile company. The proposed methodology is implemented on a real life case study of a Turkish textile company. The proposed framework, which is applicable to Turkey's textile and clothing industry can assist the fashion companies in improving the efficiency of their supplier selection processes.
