A Hybrid Multi-Criteria Decision-Making Model Combining DANP with VIKOR for Sustainable Supplier Selection in Electronics Industry

Sustainability in operations and supply chains is becoming more popular among academics practitioners through Sustainable Supplier Selection (SSS). In addition to balancing economic, social, environmental factors, the awareness of United Nations Development Goals 2030 has affected selection long-term suppliers, ensuring green sustainable chains. The criteria for SSS have multiple dimensions are interdependent; this mimics real-world scenario rather than assuming independently from an analytic hierarchy process. We use multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) model, combining DEMATEL-based on ANP (called DANP) with VIKOR, solve problem. DANP method used model assess interdependent relationships between criteria. Then, ranking available alternatives selecting best one can be accomplished using VIKOR method. consider electronic manufacturing industry Taiwan as empirical case. This study, supplier, demonstrates influential network relationship maps analyze improve gaps each dimension criterion.
