Supplier development is necessary as organizations and industries are competing on the capabilities of their supply chains and not necessarily their own individual organizations. Supplier development evaluation through formal modeling and decision support approaches is limited in the literature. Formal modeling tools to aid managers in evaluating green supplier development programs are virtuall...

Although the electronic health record (EHR) is a promising innovation in the healthcare industry, the implementation of EHR has been relatively slow. A theoretical structure for the exploration and improvement of this usage of EHR is proposed. Incorporating the theoretical structure of TOE (technology-organization-environment), we apply the DEMATEL (decision-making trial and evaluation laborato...

For different composite issues and factors on a complicated problem, there is a need to structure the problem with analyzed casual inter-dependency and influences with graphical illustration. In this paper the authors are explained the Decision-Making Trail and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL) methodology, kind of different problems for which DEMATEL can be used and the method of the approach wi...

Chou et al. (Applied Soft Computing 12 (2012) 64-71) used combination of fuzzy AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) and fuzzy DEMATEL (Decision Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory) in human resource for science and technology (HRST). For applying the fuzzy DEMATEL method there is a need to find the multiplicative inverse of a fuzzy matrix. In this paper, it is pointed out that the method, used b...

The existing environmental crisis demands increased efforts to design more sustainable buildings, which means the simultaneous balance between preservation, economic growth, and social well-being. This challenging objective requires holistic methods that enable a comprehensive, multi-dimension, quantitative approach such as allows Life Cycle Sustainability Assessment (LCSA). In addition, contex...

Academics’ and practitioners’ interest in sustainable supply chain management has received great concern in recent years. The application of biaxially-oriented polypropylene (BOPP) plastic film has had a significant influence on the economic, environmental and social performance of supply chain management. However, research on the integration of these three sustainable dimensions is still rare ...

Life cycle sustainability assessment (LCSA) has been increasingly implemented in a wide spectrum of products. Considering the vital importance buildings to human lives, it is surprising that there have few LCSA case studies from mainland China, which boasts largest developing economy world. This study aims implement typical residential building project China. The three areas protections (AoPs) ...

Life Cycle Sustainability Assessment (LCSA) is an integrated method that combines environmental, economic, and social assessments. Its methodological development remains under discussion, mainly regarding the building design. This paper aims to provide a systematic, interoperable, open-source approach towards implementing LCSA in Building Information Modelling (BIM) five steps. A harmonized dat...

Life cycle analysis is essential in promoting improvements to mitigate climate change. Climate change impacts can be reduced through mitigation of greenhouse gases and increasing adaptation the changes expected across all sectors. This article aims examine characterize current application Cycle Sustainability Assessment (LCSA). study focusing on a systematic review bibliometric highlighting con...
