Sustainable High-Tech Brick Production with Energy-Oriented Consumption: An Integrated Possibilistic Approach Based on Criteria Interdependencies

Brick making contributes significantly to the of supply materials for building industry. The majority brick production sectors, especially in developing countries, employ polluting and energy-inefficient technologies. Due increasing pressures on manufacturing firms improve economic performance growing environmental protection issues, sustainable clean is main concern makers. This paper considers technological, economic, environmental, social, energy-oriented criteria select optimal Therefore, technology selection viewed as a multi-criteria group decision-making (MCGDM) problem. research proposes novel hybrid fuzzy MCGDM (HFMCGDM) model tackle In this respect, first all, modified triangular pair-wise comparison (MTFPC) method proposed compute local weights sub-criteria. Then, DEMATEL (FDEMATEL) presented calculate interdependencies between within criteria. Moreover, integration MTFPC FDEMATEL methods applied global weights. Afterward, determine experts’ weight. Considering last aggregation approach diminish data loss, new version TOPSIS find priorities candidates. case study given demonstrate applicability superiority methodology. To get deeper view about considering kilns, energy which has been investigated. comparative analysis illuminate merits Eventually, sensitivity conducted peruse influence ranking order.
