Abstract: This paper presents a developed model of data envelopment analysis-discriminant analysis (DEA-DA) for predicting group membership of green suppliers. This model accurately predicts group membership of the green suppliers in the presence of undesirable outputs. For demonstrating applicability of our proposed model, using a real-world dataset for evaluating green suppliers of the Hyundai Steel Company, the DEA-DA model developed by Boudaghi (2017) is analysed and compared with the new model. The results show that our developed model has more precise prediction of green suppliers' group membership with respect to considering undesirable outputs.
