Abstract
The development and management of an effective and efficient
supply chain involve the selection of the suppliers. Only economic
criteria, including cost and delivery, once used to be considered in the
process of supplier selection. But, they do not suffice for the evaluation
of suppliers anymore due to the rapidly changing environment, and
different perspectives are needed to be considered. The present paper
aims to present a hybrid method based on fuzzy data envelopment
analysis for sustainable supplier selection. At first, the criteria for
sustainable supplier selection are derived from the relevant literature.
Then, the hierarchy of the criteria and their preferential interrelations
are specified by analytic hierarchy process. Eventually, the performance
of the suppliers is evaluated using fuzzy data envelopment analysis.
The presented DEA model has been inspired by the concept of ideal
and anti-ideal decision-making units (DMUs) in the evaluation of
cross-efficiency. According to this concept, a DMU is efficient if it is
close to the ideal DMU’s performance and far from the anti-ideal
DMU’s performance.
