Abstract

The sustainability concept is considered an essential and fundamental requirement in many organisations for supporting environmental activities and social issues important to the successful implementation of sustainable supply chain practices. In general, collaboration with sustainable suppliers is the first step to move towards sustainability. Therefore, in this paper, a practical approach based on multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) is developed for sustainable supplier selection under uncertainty. In the proposed approach, the fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (AHP) method is used to calculate the criteria weights and interval VIseKriterijumska Optimizacija I Kompromisno Resenje (VIKOR) is applied to rank suppliers. Interval numbers are also used to facilitate the evaluation process of suppliers under uncertainty. Finally, the efficiency of the proposed approach is measured using experts' knowledge of experts in an aluminium cans production industry.
