The term sustainability, which means
maintaining a balance or acting responsibly for the future, has come into
prominence in many fields. One of the most crucial practice is cooperating with
convenient collaborators and composing effective supply chains in terms of
social, economic and environmental considerations. Therefore, sustainable
supplier selection is getting more and more important to compete in rapidly
changing environment. To deal with sustainable supplier selection problem, this
study aims to determine the selection of appropriate suppliers and allocation
of orders to them. The proposed approach operates in three stages. In the first
stage, Fuzzy Decision Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory is used to obtain
the weights of the criteria from sustainability perspective. In the second
stage, by using Fuzzy Grey Relational Analysis, a set of suppliers are ranked
and their suitability scores are calculated. In the last stage, optimal order
quantities to be procured by the suppliers are obtained via fuzzy linear
programming including imprecise data of demand, error rate and capacity.
