Abstract :

One of the most important industries that cause environmental pollution is the cement industry and companies active in this industry. Cement industry in terms of importance, such as steel and petrochemical industries, and always in accordance with national economic and development plans and policies contributed to the performance is satisfactory. The present study aimed to identify barriers to GSC implementation by FD, weight and prioritize them through the FBWM and evaluation, ranking of Abeyek Cement Industries, Isfahan and Tehran regarding the performance of using the GSC with MAPPAC technique. The present study is a field research in terms of applied purpose and in terms of data collection. The present article is exploratory because it seeks to identify barriers to the implementation of green supply chain in the country's cement industry.The present statistical sample and population consisted of 12 logistics senior managers in cement companies. Results of screening by a FD indicated that a native model had five dimensions and thirty four indices. According to results of weighting barriers to GSC implementation dimensions by the FBWM, the support & covering was the most important dimension of the GSC, then the Technological was put in the second place, dimensions the economic, knowledge and environmental were ranked third to fiveth respectively.The cement companies were then evaluated by the proposed model through MAPPAC technique. In the present study, the native model of barriers to the implementation of green supply chain in cement manufacturing industries has been designed.
