Abstract:

Supplier selection is one the main concern in the context of supply chain networks by considering their global and competitive features. Resilient supplier selection as generally new idea has not been addressed properly in the literature under uncertain conditions. Therefore, in this paper, a new multi-criteria group decision-making (MCGDM) model is introduced with interval-valued fuzzy sets (IVFSs) and fuzzy possibilistic statistical concepts. Then, a new weighting method for the supply chain experts or decision makers (DMs) is presented under uncertainty in supply chain networks. Additionally, a modified version of an entropy method is extended for computing the weight of each assessment criterion. Possibilistic mean, standard deviation, and the cube-root of skewness are proposed within the MCGDM. In addition, a new fuzzy ranking method based on relative-closeness coefficients are proposed to rank the resilient supplier candidates. Finally, a resilient supplier selection problem is solved by the proposed group decision model to demonstrate its validity and is compared with a recent study.

Assessment of Green Supplier Development Programs by a New Group Decision-Making Model Considering Possibilistic Statistical Uncertainty

The assessment and selection of green supplier development programs are an intriguing and functional research subject. This paper proposes a group decision-making approach considering possibilistic statistical concepts under uncertainty to assess green supplier development programs (GSDPs) via interval-valued fuzzy sets (IVFSs). Possibility theory is employed to regard uncertainty by IVFSs. A n...

Supplier selection with multi-criteria group decision making based on interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy sets (case study on a project-based company)

Supplier selection can be considered as a complicated multi criteria decision-making problem.In this paper the problem of supplier selection is studied in the presence of conflicting evaluations and insufficient information about the criteria and different attitudes of decision makers towards the risk. Most of fuzzy approaches used in multi-criteria group decision making (MCGDM) are non-intuiti...
