Cover Story: Packaging management in the automotive industry is becoming increasingly important from a strategic point of view of the logistics operations of automakers. Performance evaluation of reverse operations is also necessary for creatina and managing more sustainable supply chains. This research proposes a group decision-making (GDM) approach to evaluate packaging performance by combining the literature and empirical views of a packaging engineering team of a Brazilian company, in order to develop a multicriteria indicator for performance evaluation of packaging. The analytic hierarchy process (AHP)-GDM method was used to this end. This composite indicator also aims to be a quick application approach, considering the restricted time and availability of specialists in their daily routines. View this paper
