Population initialization: The initial population is formed randomly, with each individual representing an order allocation scheme, and the allocation quantity for each provider denoted by a specific code. Calculation of the objective function: Objective 1: Reduce overall expenses and compute the aggregate...
TOPSIS is a powerful technique but it has a big weakness that is the fact that it does not provide us with a good alternative. According to this technique, the nearest alternative to the ideal solution is a suitable one and the ideal solution origins from the information of the available al...
Ultimately, the two systems were reorganized based on independent reviews, resulting in the reconstruction of sustainable supplier evaluation criteria based on ESG requirements. To be specific, we obtained the reconstructed system through the following steps. Firstly, the common concerns of the two ...
First, we emphasized the importance of considering additional and specific criteria when selecting sustainable suppliers for the Thai agri-food industry using a survey study. Factor analysis (FA) was then used to identify the risk variables and their sub-factors that support the supply chain’s ...
The specific structural equation model of this study is as follows (see Figure 1). Figure 1. Research model. Notes: independent variables: supplier integration, customer integration; dependent variable: environmental cost performance; moderating variable: digital transformation. 3. Research Method 3.1....
Criteria should be specific, measurable, and directly related to the objective. They can be quantitative or qualitative in nature, depending on the nature of the decision. Establishing a Hierarchy: Once the criteria are identified, they are structured in a hierarchical manner. The top level of ...
