    Green supply chain management (GSCM) is crucial for environmental compliance and business development of companies. Companies look for new ideas and methods to achieve environmental sustainability. GSCM is an innovative idea which involves all business value-adding operations, such as purchasing and in-bound logistics, production and manufacturing, distribution, out-bound logistics, and collaboration with patrons and suppliers with the minimum negative environmental impact. The main purpose of the present study was to find the interrelationship between green supplier criteria applying a novel model. Thus, experts’ opinions were investigated through nominal group technique (NGT) to understand the interrelationship and causal preferences of the green supplier evaluation aspects through Fuzzy Decision-Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL) method. The degree of importance factors shows that environmental performance is a proper index for displaying companies adopting their supply chain into the GSCM as the third most important criterion. The results of the priority weight analysis of the criteria demonstrated that the production Capability has minimal impact on GSCM adoption. The findings also revealed that the production capability falls under the effect group, and green design and production capability are correlated.

    As we know, in evaluating of DMUs some of them might be efficient, so ranking of them have a high significant. One of the ranking methods is cross-efficiency. Cross efficiency evaluation in data envelopment analysis (DEA) is a commonly used skill for ranking decision making units (DMUs). Since, many studies ignore the intra-organizational communication and consider DMUs as a black box. For significant of this subject, we applied cross-efficiency for network DMUs. However, In view of the fact that precise input and output data may not always be available in real world due to the existence of uncertainty, we have developed the model with interval data. the existing classical interval DEA method is not able to rank the DMUs, but can only classify them as efficient or inefficient , so this paper improve that. The proposed method can be used for each network that includes DMUs with two stages in production process. However, this paper is the first study that examined cross efficiency of DMUs in structure framework with interval data. the new approach  enables us to ranking of first stage for n DMU and second stages of them. DMUs with the best rank can be used as benchmark for improving efficiency of other DMUs. Finally, We present Illustrate example with two steps for proposed model that can be develop for more than two steps.
