Supply chain management is going on changing and developing in line with the needs of the growing global supply chain. Performance of supply chain, considered as a whole so that businesses can accommodate these evolvements and change, needs to be improved in the long run. Actually, businesses work with suppliers complying with their policies from past to present. However, other dimensions of sustainability should be considered, as well as economic criteria when selecting suppliers. With the right supplier selection made in this respect, by contributing to the efficient functioning of the supply chain, it will increase customer satisfaction, and therefore, the enterprises will reach the goals they set. The solution of the multi-objective sustainable supplier selection problem has been realized by using the “satisfied optimal supplier design” algorithm, also called fuzzy goal programming, with de novo-based interval type-2 proposed in this study.
