“…In effect, as a result of the implementation of the chain of methods and measures, which contain the determination of parameters, the creation of the perspectives, and the performance of analysis with the use of AHP and DEMATEL technologies, the Szczecin Municipality obtained a powerful support mechanism in their strategic decision-making process. It is also worthwhile to mention that the approach of using both methods is increasingly being used for various problems in logistics [47][48][49][50] as well as in other fields [51][52][53][54].…”

Urban areas are centres of business and innovation. Freight transport is indispensable for the proper functioning of any modern urban society. Urban areas cannot function without an appropriate freight transport system, due to the need to replenish stocks of food and other goods in retail shops. The complexity of the decisions concerning implementation of measures to improve the movement of goods in the city requires tools designed to support this process. In this context, a research gap and a research problem occur-how to obtain a reliable set of factors for development of sustainable urban freight transport (UFT). The purpose of this article is to introduce the possibility of applying the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) as well as the Decision Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory Method (DEMATEL) in choosing a set of measures and in analysing the field of distribution logistics, which will help to solve delivery problems and streamline cargo flow in Szczecin, in the context of sustainable development. This paper presents the findings of a survey in which experts evaluate the main coefficients for sustainable freight transport in the city area. Using both AHP and DEMATEL methods, we have concluded that: (i) all coefficients from administrative, financial, technical and promotional measures are highly interconnected; (ii) strategy of freight transport development should take into consideration how these coefficients influence each other; (iii) P2-eco-driving trainings, T4-alternative delivery systems and P1-promotional campaigns for sustainable transport are the most important criteria and should be priorities for investments; (iv) A1-implementation of loading/unloading and transit restrictions-highly influences other coefficients; (v) T2-intelligent route guidance in freight transport is greatly influenced by them.

“…MCDM techniques can then deal with the multicausality nature of the bullwhip effect problem, which can be represented by a set of criteria related to the main causes of this phenomena: demand forecasting updating, order batching, price fluctuations, gaming, and rationing. In addition, the use of AHP and DEMATEL methods enable supply chain managers to design both short-term and long-term strategies based on linear dependency, interdependence, and feedback so that bullwhip effect management can be facilitated (Khan, Chaabane, & Dweiri, 2018;Ortiz-Barrios et al, 2017;Ortiz-Barrios et al, 2018;Wu & Tsai, 2012). This is complemented by the use of TOPSIS, which can calculate the gap between the current performance of bullwhip-phenomena-related criteria and the desired target (Saeida Ardakani, Nejatian, Farhangnejad, & Nejati, 2015;Shukla, Agarwal, Rana, & Purohit, 2017).…”

The bullwhip effect leads to considerable inefficiencies along the food supply chain such as missed production schedules, poor customer service, excessive inventory, and misguided capacity plans. To tackle this problem, it is necessary, apart from other interventions, to continuously monitor the performance of food suppliers so that the demand information flow, order batching, transportation planning, and inventory management can be substantially improved. Therefore, supplier assessment has then become critical decision‐making support for identifying and addressing inefficiencies of food providers, which ends up reducing the variation of several key logistics parameters for upstream members of the food supply chain. In addition, such assessment is of multicriteria nature given the presence of several criteria from different domains and various food suppliers. With these considerations in mind, this paper proposes a hybrid approach integrating the analytic hierarchy process (AHP), decision‐making trial and evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL), and the technique for order of preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS) for evaluating the performance of pork suppliers. Thereby, the economic and operational burden caused by the bullwhip effect throughout the pork supply chain can be alleviated. AHP was first used to determine the criteria and subcriteria weights. Then DEMATEL was applied to assess the interdependence and feedback between the decision elements. Finally, TOPSIS was implemented to discriminate between high‐performance and low‐performance pork suppliers. A case study from the Colombian pork supply chain is presented to validate the proposed approach. The results of this study evidenced that the most important criterion was the “service level” and the most influencing factor was the “financial profile.” In addition, based on the supplier assessment results, improvement plans, and new negotiation, strategies were established for each supplier in order to diminish the bullwhip effect along the pork supply chain.
