demonstrate the applicability of the novel approach in
assisting the purchasing manager at company A to
produce a green and resilient purchasing strategy
through supplier evaluation.
The developed methodology can be applied to
other companies as a tool to measure the healthiness
of their supply chain in terms of resilience and green
performance. Furthermore, it mediates the
uncertainty in experts’ opinions through the use of
fuzzy evaluation.
Ongoing work includes the incorporation of social
criteria to those already studied here. Finally, the
authors are developing a multi-objective optimization
model to help decision makers in solving order
allocation problem with respect to TGR performance
of suppliers.
