ملخص المقالة :
This study aims to determine third-party (3PL) and fourth-party (4PL) logistics services based on green supply chain management using cross-efficiency and multi-criteria decision-making. In today’s competitive environment, improving the performance of construction companies, especially in alignment with green supply chain objectives, is an essential necessity. In this research, the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) was employed to determine the weights, and the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) method was used for ranking. Several companies from the Rasht Industrial City were selected for analysis, and the opinions of 10 experts were collected both qualitatively and quantitatively. The results showed that economic, environmental, and social factors were identified as the most important elements influencing the implementation of 3PL and 4PL services in the construction industry. This study, by providing a comprehensive framework for performance evaluation in the construction industry, emphasizes the importance of considering environmental components in enhancing organizational efficiency and competitiveness.
