Top-down hierarchies are typically characterized by command and control systems of the authority t...

Selection of Sustainable Supplier for Medical Centers with Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) & Multi-Attributed Utility Theory (MAUT) Approaches

Background and Objectives: The selection of the sustainable supplier is important for any industry. Medical centers are not an exception in this case, and selecting the best sustainable supplier is a major step towards increasing their productivity.
