Abstract: The uncertainty of data and weighting of variables are prima facie problems to model the green supply chain (GrSC) performance. The paper modelled GrSC performance of plastic film by fuzzy logic analysis-fuzzy analytic network process approach to overcome these hurdles. Fuzzy logic analysis is used to derive fuzzy score of variables using MATLAB. Further, fuzzy analytic network process is used to calculate global weights of variables. Thus, green score of supply chain performance for plastic film is computed as 28.83. Green supply chain performance analysis of plastic films is done for present status and computed as 48.62. The solutions developed by author's viz. adoption of best practices for blown film extrusion process and 'design for environment' tool for segregating MSW at source are analysed. It is found that, if the tools adopted simultaneously, the GrSC performance score resulted in 27.38. This is well below green score making the plastic film industry environment friendly. Approach is suitable for modelling small scale systems GrSC performance.
