Today the manufacturing industries have started to use "green concept" in their supply chain management, which focused on environmental issues. These industries are still trying to identify barriers to the implementation of green supply chain management (GSCM). The main goal of this study is to rank obstacles to the implementation of GSCM in the oil refining industry (Case Study: Isfahan Oil Refinery).
Due to the highly specialized aspect of this research, the sampled individuals in this study consisted of experts (middle and top managers) with adequate knowledge and at least five years of work experience in Isfahan Oil Refinery. The index levels of this survey have been achieved through questionnaires taken by these experts. Hence, this study will offer new and innovative approaches to identify obstacles to the implementation of GSCM in Iran's oil refining industry.A targeted non-probabilistic sample of 35 experts was identified. The indexing, ranking and rating of the analytic network process (ANP) has been determined once the distributed questionnaires were completed by the selected individuals.
