Energy efficiency in the industries is one of the leading problems of the 21st century. The main aim for the companies to deal with the energy efficiency paradigm is to save the resources in the manufacturing operations. Manufacturing opera-tions involve activities that creates wastes in any case; therefore, these wastes should be eliminated, or minimized as much as possible. In this paper, it is aimed to integrate the energy efficiency term with lean management principles. The barriers and the drivers of the energy efficiency was discussed, and the 8 wastes within lean perspective were translated into ener-gy counterparts. 8 wastes of lean approach were defined as energy efficiency perspective, and used as criteria. The study will reveal the important criteria using Fuzzy Analytic Network Process (Fuzzy ANP) method to make implications about how to eliminate these wastes.

This article aims to develop a novel model for ranking the parameters that influence the building of trust on online shopping in the context of Iran. A multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) model based on a fuzzy analytic network process (ANP) method is developed to systematically clarify the interdependent relationships among the evaluation criteria of trust and then, scientifically evaluate the feasible parameters and rank the priorities of the trust. The results of the proposed model reveal that under the characteristics of trustor (TR) sub-factors, the most important indicator which can affect the trust is propensity to trust. Furthermore, regarding the characteristics of trustee (TE) sub-factors, data quality with a priority of 0.064 is the most important indicator. Also, in the environmental factors (EN) sub-factors, promotions and advertising with a weight of 0.151 is the most significant indicator.

This paper proposes the use of fuzzy analytic network process (FANP) in identifying the content of the structural decisions of manufacturing strategy that integrates sustainability and the classical manufacturing strategy framework, considering firm size as a relevant component in decision-making. Fuzzy set theory elucidates judgment through linguistic variables while analytic network process (ANP) handles the complexity of the decision-making brought about by subjectivity and relationships among components in the decision problem. A group of experts in manufacturing was tasked to elicit judgment in pairwise comparisons following in the methodology of the ANP. Results also show that structural decisions that support sustainability integrate backward supply chain. This supports existing approaches particularly on sustainable supply chain and green purchasing. The contribution of this work lies in adopting a multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) framework that identifies the content of the structural decisions of a sustainable manufacturing strategy.
