Integrating the concept of sustainability into the partner selection process: a fuzzy-AHP-TOPSIS approach
by David Wittstruck; Frank Teuteberg
International Journal of Logistics Systems and Management (IJLSM), Vol. 12, No. 2, 2012

Abstract: In recent years, numerous publications of supply chain management have dealt with partner selection methods. So far, research has failed to offer a holistic approach for the selection of recycling partners while focusing on financial, environmental and social factors. In view of this fact, our paper aims at developing an integrated Multi-Criteria Decision Model (MCDM) that supports recycling partners. On the basis of a systematic literature review, we identified limitations of the existing approaches and designed an integrated Fuzzy-AHP-TOPSIS model. The approach is validated by means of an empirical study in the electrics and electronics industry.
