Name: Dr. K. Mathiyazhagan

Designation: Associate Professor

Specialization: Industrial Engineering

Broad research areas of interest: Green Supply Chain Management; Sustainable Supply Chain

Management; Multi-Criteria Decision Making; Third

Party Logistic Provider

Research area description

My research lies within the field of Industrial Engineering in general, and within Green Supply

Chain Management (GSCM) and Sustainable Supply Chain Management (SSCM) topics in

particular. Here I find the influential role of pressures and barriers for the adoption of GSCM and

SSCM with the help of Multi Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) approaches. I have conducted

research within theoretical method development, as well as within real-life applications. From an

applicative point of view, I find problems for implementation of GSCM and SSCM in

automobile, electrical/electronic and textile industries.
