Abstract
Abstract
Context and Purpose:Nowadays, the established advances in sustainable supply chain management (SSCM) have been integrated with the concepts of Industry 4.0. The present study develops a new decision-making model to consider sustainability criteria and Industry 4.0 with the aim of supplier assessment.
Methodology:The proposed approach consists of the Fuzzy Ordinal Priority Approach (F-OPA), and the research case study is Dena Rubber Company. To form the expert committee, the snowball sampling method has been used. In general, the proposed approach in this research includes two main phases. In the first phase, 13 factors related to supplier evaluation have been identified and classified into three aspects namely economic, social, and environmental. In the second phase, by using the F-OPA, the global rank and weights of criteria, sub-criteria, and suppliers have been determined.
Findings:Based on the obtained results, the environmental, economic, and social criteria have been considered the most important aspects of supplier evaluation respectively. In addition, “price”, “Research & development (R&D) in environmental issues using Industry 4.0 technologies” and “Environmental-friendly materials” have been specified as the most substantial sub-criteria in assessing sustainable suppliers. Finally, it has been depicted that supplier 1 is the best one among the alternatives and has acquired high performance in terms of sustainability criteria.
Conclusion:In this study, an effective framework for sustainable supplier selection problems (SSSPs) based on the concept of Industry 4.0 in the supply chain network is presented. Managers of similar businesses can use the proposed framework to assess their suppliers.the obtained results can be used as a guide for the supply chain of the Rubber manufacturers, so that in the long term, this matter can help reduce costs, save resources, and reduce environmental impacts.
