An integrated decision-making methodology for green supplier selection based on the improved IVIF-CPT-MABAC method

Abstract

Green supply chain management attaches great importance to the coordinated development of social economy and ecological environment, and requires enterprises to consider environmental protection factors in product design, packaging, procurement, production, sales, logistics, waste and recycling. Suppliers are the “source” of the entire supply chain, and the choice of green suppliers is the basis of green supply chain management, and their quality will directly affect the environmental performance of enterprises. The green supplier selection is a classical multiple attribute group decision making (MAGDM) problems. Interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy sets (IVIFSs) are the extension of intuitionistic fuzzy sets (IFSs), and are utilized to depict the complex and changeable circumstance. To better adapt to complex environment, the purpose of this paper is to construct a new method to solve the MAGDM problems for green supplier selection. Taking the fuzzy and uncertain character of the IVIFSs and the psychological preference into consideration, the original MABAC method based on the cumulative prospect theory (CPT) is extended into IVIFSs (IVIF-CPT-MABAC) method for MAGDM issues. Meanwhile, the method to evaluate the attribute weighting vector is calculated by CRITIC method. Finally, a numerical example for green supplier selection has been given and some comparisons is used to illustrate advantages of IVIF-CPT-MABAC method and some comparison analysis and sensitivity analysis are applied to prove this new method’s effectiveness and stability.

Performance Evaluation of Retail Warehouses: A Combined MCDM Approach Using G-BWM and RATMI

“…Subjectivity is further involved in criteria identification, weighting using an integer scale of 0-9 in the G-BWM, and normalizing non-dimensionalized data [48]. Additionally, the monitoring of warehouses was restricted to operational-level criteria internal to facilities, excluding the potential influences of changes in the broader external business environment [49]. Although the methodology provides a logical, stepwise framework, these constraints stemming from the limitations of the models adopted, scope, objectivity, and small sample warrant acknowledging the preliminary nature of the results obtained.…”
