Abstract :

The term green supply chain management mainly refers to those concepts which integrate the sustainable environmental processes into the outmoded supply chain. This process can include product design, manufacturing, production, material sourcing, and end of life management. According to this definition, GSCM1refers to a wide range of products from product design by recycling or destroy. In this process, the products are passed through a cycle of life. For example, as same as human beings, they also pass through the cycle of life such as birth, maturity, and death. The product life cycle involves a degree of structure to the life of products, which provide the directions for the functional efforts to produce and deliver the product. The main question in this research is “what are the effective factors in the implementation of the green supply chaining of construction projects and what are their priorities?” In this study will define key internal operational influences influencing the management of the Green Supply Chain through an analysis of its literature and a compilation of expert opinions. In this paper, the network analysis process method was used to prioritize the factors affecting the green supply chain in the UAE. The results showed that external factors, binding factors, internal factors and management factors affect the promotion of green supply chain system, respectively. And can have a positive impact on pollution reduction, economic development, social development, quality development and social capital.
