Sustainable supply chain performance measurement is aimed at addressing environmental, social and economic aspects of sustainable supply chain management. It can be argued that it is not easy to reduce all dimensions of sustainable supply chain to a single unit. Then, the issue is that all valuations should somehow be reducible to a single one-dimensional standard. Multi-criteria evaluation introduces a framework to remedy this issue. As a consequence, multi-criteria evaluation seems to supply a proper and adequate assessment framework for sustainable supply chain assessment. In this study, a multi-criteria framework based on fuzzy entropy and fuzzy multi-attribute utility (FMAUT) is proposed in order to evaluate and compare the company performances in terms of sustainable supply chain. However, note that reducing all aspects of sustainable supply chain to a single unit using a multi-criteria framework may not be sufficient to satisfy all the needs of decision makers although it is used to evaluate sustainability performance of supply chains with respect to three aspects. Therefore, in this research, an alert management system is also developed to satisfy further requirements of users. The proposed frameworks are tested using data obtained from one of the middle sized Turkish grocery retailers. (C) 2011 Elsevier ay. All rights reserved.

A Novel Interactive Fuzzy Programming Approach for Optimization of Allied Closed-Loop Supply Chains Calik, Ahmet; YAPICI PEHLİVAN, NİMET; PAKSOY, TURAN; Weber, Gerhard Wilhelm (2018-01-01) In recent years, the relationship between companies and suppliers has changed with the continuous rise in environmental awareness and customer expectations. In order to fulfill customers' needs, the actors in a Supply Chain (SC) network sometimes compete and sometimes cooperate with each other. In SC management, both competitive and collaborative strategies have become important and have required different points of view. In a collaborative environment, companies should strive for common targets with mutual...
A robust optimization model for sustainable and resilient closed-loop supply chain network design considering conditional value at risk Lotfi, Reza; Mehrjerdi, Yahia Zare; Pishvaee, Mir Saman; Sadeghieh, Ahmad; Weber, Gerhard Wilhelm (2021-06-01) One of the challenges facing supply chain designers is designing a sustainable and resilient supply chain network. The present study considers a closed-loop supply chain by taking into account sustainability, resilience, robustness, and risk aversion for the first time. The study suggests a two-stage mixed-integer linear programming model for the problem. Further, the robust counterpart model is used to handle uncertainties. Furthermore, conditional value at risk criterion in the model is considered in orde...
A comparison of pure manufacturing and hybrid manufacturing–remanufacturing systems under carbon tax policy Alegoz, Mehmet; Kaya, Onur; Bayındır, Zeynep Pelin (2021-10-01) Collection and remanufacturing of used products can be considered as one of the options to improve the sustainability of a manufacturing system. In this study, we focus on production and sustainability level decisions in pure manufacturing and hybrid manufacturing–remanufacturing systems and compare the systemwide performances and the performances of supply chain actors under different settings in terms of economic and environmental performance measures. We consider four settings as follows. In the first se...
A fuzzy logic tool to evaluate low-head hydropower technologies at the outlet of wastewater treatment plants Ak, Mumtaz; Kentel Erdoğan, Elçin; KÜÇÜKALİ, SERHAT (2017-02-01) This study aims to find the most sustainable mature Low-Head (LH) hydropower technology option to generate hydroelectricity at the outlet of wastewater treatment plants by assessing the relevant economic, technical, and environmental criteria. A total of six criteria are assessed: investment cost, payback period, energy generation performance, construction duration, fish-friendliness, and aeration capacity. The fuzzy logic tool estimates satisfaction of each criterion separately and then aggregates them int...
An Analysis of public use bicycle systems from a product service system perspective Keskin, Duygu; Brezet, Han C; Börekçi, Naz Ayşe Güzide Z.; Diehl, Jan Carel (null; 2008-04-21) Recent studies on sustainability indicate that the concept of the Product-Service System (PSS) is a promising approach to dematerialise the economy and reduce the environmental impacts of industrial and consumption activities. Considering the urban scale, mobility is one of the challenges that should be addressed and improved for a better quality of life for residents and lower pollution levels for the environment. In this respect, this study aims at analysing Public Use Bicycle (PUB) systems from a PSS per...
