PurposeDue to stern management policies and increased community attentiveness, sustainable supply chain management (SSCM) performs a vast component in endeavor operation and production management. Sustainable circular supplier selection (SCSS) and evaluation presented the environmental and social concerns in the fields of circular economy and sustainable supplier selection. Choosing the optimal SCSS is vital for organizations to persuade SSCM, as specified in various researches. Based on the subjectivity of human behavior, the selection of ideal SCSS often involves uncertain information, and the Pythagorean fuzzy sets (PFSs) have a huge capability to tackle strong vagueness, uncertainty and inaccuracy in the multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) procedure. Here, a framework is developed to assess and establish suitable suppliers in the SSCM and the circular economy.Design/methodology/approachThis paper introduced an extended framework using the evaluation based on distance from average solution (EDAS) with PFSs and implemented it to solve the SCSS in the manufacturing sector. Firstly, the PFSs to handle the uncertain information of decision experts (DEs) is employed. Secondly, a novel divergence measure and parametric score function for calculating the criteria weights are proposed. Thirdly, an extended decision-making approach, known as PF-EDAS, is introduced.FindingsThe outcomes and comparative discussion show that the developed method is efficient and capable of facilitating the DEs to choose desirable SCSS. Therefore, the proposed framework can be used by organizations to assess and establish suitable suppliers in the SCSS process in the circular economy.Originality/valueSelecting the optimal sustainable circular supplier (SCS) in the manufacturing sector is important for organizations to persuade SSCM, as specified in various research. However, corresponding to the subjectivity of human behavior, the selection of the best SCS often involves uncertain information, and the PFSs have a huge capability to tackle strong vagueness, uncertainty and inaccuracy in the MCDM procedure. Hence, manufacturing companies' administrators can implement the developed method to assess and establish suitable suppliers in the SCSS process in the circular economy.

Practical Factors

Sustainable supplier selection has become a strategic activity to enhance the competitiveness of sustainable supply chain management. Research on sustainable supplier selection is considering increasingly more practical factors, such as the uncertainty of decision context and the fuzzy recognition of experts. Evaluation values on different criteria with different characteristic should be represented in their suitable information types to reflect the characteristic accurately and represent experts’ judgments entirely. Moreover, it is difficult, or costly, to build a decision criteria set in which all criteria are independent to each other because of the interaction of technical, economic, environmental and social factors. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to propose a novel decision-making framework for sustainable supplier selection which considers the interaction among criteria with heterogeneous decision information. The proposed framework can not only allow the experts to express their judgments completely, but also improve the efficiency of decision-making. First, a normalized dominance decision matrix based on normalized closeness is built with the heterogeneous decision matrix. Then, a defined discrete Choquet integral multi-criteria distance measure is used to compute the comprehensive associated closeness and rank the alternative sustainable suppliers. This framework provides a new way to handle the interaction among criteria for sustainable supplier selection from the perspective of multi-criteria distance measure, and a novel methodology to solve the problems that the evaluation values cannot be aggregated directly. Finally, an example is given to illustrate the proposed framework for sustainable supplier selection with a comparison analysis.

Hierarchy Process

Sustainability in industrial organizations has become a predominant concept in the 21st century due to environmental regulations, economic importance, and social obligations. In this context, sustainable supplier selection plays an epochal role for taking strategic business decisions. So, a systematic approach is required to deal with the sustainable factors. By integrating the three pillars of sustainability, namely economic, environmental, and social factors, this chapter presents an integrated model for supplier selection from a sustainability perspective. The proposed framework combines analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and quality function deployment (QFD) methods to deal with the sustainable criteria. Finally, suppliers are ranked using VIse Kriterijumska Optimizacija kompromisno Resenja (VIKOR) method. The proposed framework is used to analyze a case study of a dairy company, but it can also be implemented for sustainable supplier selection in any industries. The study brings an artefact for managers to effectively analyze suppliers with the integrated decision-making model.
