The aim of this study is to identify and prioritize the solutions of Knowledge Management (KM) adoption in Supply Chain (SC) to overcome its barriers. It helps organizations to concentrate on high rank solutions and develop strategies to implement them on priority. This paper proposes a framework based on fuzzy analytical hierarchy process (AHP) and fuzzy technique for order performance by simi...

Due to an increased awareness and significant environmental pressures from various stakeholders, companies have begun to realize the significance of incorporating green practices into their daily activities. This paper proposes a framework using Fuzzy TOPSIS to select green suppliers for a Brazilian electronics company; our framework is built on the criteria of green supply chain management (GS...

The supplier selection process attracted a lot of attention in the business management literature. This process takes into consideration several quantitative and qualitative variables and is usually modeled as a multi-attribute decision making (MADM) problem. A recognized shortcoming in the literature of classical MADM methods is that they don’t permit the identification of interdependencies am...

A supply chain network coordinates flow of components from different suppliers to enhance a product that meets customers’ value expectations. Traditionally, companies consider price, quality, and lead time for selecting appropriate suppliers. Increasing environmental concerns, government regulations, and long-term profitability have forced companies to reduce pollution. In addition, in a comple...

Multiple attribute decision making problems with uncertain weights in intuitionistic fuzzy setting are investigated. Some concepts related to the theory of intuitionistic fuzzy set (IFS), including intuitionistic fuzzy weighted averaging (IFWA) operator, score function, and accuracy function, are reviewed. Based on the technology for order preference by similarity to idea solution (TOPSIS) meth...

Analysis of strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats (SWOT) is a method to formulate the strategy. Although the SWOT analysis successfully provides the key factors of the problem, it has some drawbacks in selecting appropriate strategy for the evaluation and final decision steps. During recent years, some multiple criteria decision making (MCDM) techniques such as analytic hierarchy pro...

in this context and for helping to manufacturing industries in this research an attempt has been made to provide a method to managers of evaluating and ranking of agility strategies by using of a fuzzy inference system which is a branch of artificial intelligence. this research has been performed in three sequential phases. firstly, some variables, as factors of agility drivers, agility capabil...

This paper extended TOPSIS (Technique for Order Preference by Similarity Ideal Solution) method for solving Two-Level Large Scale Linear Multiobjective Optimization Problems with Stochastic Parameters in the righthand side of the constraints (TL-LSLMOP-SP)rhs of block angular structure. In order to obtain a compromise ( satisfactory) solution to the (TL-LSLMOP-SP)rhs of block angular structure ...
