Evaluating Green and Resilient Supplier Performance: AHP-Fuzzy Topsis Decision-Making Approach

This paper presents an approach for evaluating and ranking suppliers with respect to their traditional, green and resilience (TGR) characteristics. A set of criteria/sub-criteria were identified within a unified framework and their relative importance weighted using the analytical hierarchy process (AHP) algorithm. In addition, the suppliers were evaluated and ranked based on their performance towards the identified TGR criteria using the fuzzy technique for order of preference by similarity to ideal solution (FTOPSIS) algorithm. The applicability and effectiveness of the proposed approach was proved through a real case study by revealing a comparatively meaningful ranking of suppliers. The study provides a noteworthy aid to management who understand the necessity of building supply chain resilience while concurrently pursuing ‘go green’
