Abstract: The rising awareness about environmental issues and the need to outrank the competitors necessitates reverse supply chain management. By implementing reverse supply chain process, the industries are able to recapture the products value and can minimize the production cost. The implementation of reverse supply chain management requires huge investment and upgraded technology. Hence most of the manufacturing sectors are outsourcing reverse supply chain management. When it comes to outsourcing, selection of appropriate supplier becomes a problem for industries. In this study, fuzzy Preference Ranking Organization Method for Enrichment Evaluation (fuzzy PROMETHEE) methodology is applied to select the best reverse supply chain management from five alternatives by four decision makers considering ten factors.
