Abstract

The purpose of the current research is to design a green supply chain pricing model with a multi-criteria decision-making approach and game theory (case study: home appliance industry). In this research, after library study and identification of key indicators in predicting green supply chain pricing, using the fuzzy Delphi method, the screening of indicators was done in three stages, and out of 20 indicators, based on the opinions of 13 experts, 13 indicators were selected and based on the priority selection index approach, company D entered the game theory as the leader company because it had the highest priority. Finally, based on the game theory, the scenario between 4 members of the supply chain was evaluated and analyzed, and the best and worst scenarios were also introduced. Also, in order to test the structural validity of the proposed model, information related to the green supply chain of 9 selected home appliance companies was implemented using MATLAB software.
