Using ANP and QFD methodologies to analyze eco-efficiency requirements in an electronic supply chain

The concept of eco-efficiency is an important step in the move towards sustainable development. In the present day business, organizations have to take care of both the economic growth and environmental impact. Eco-efficiency determines the value of a product considering its environmental impact. In...
