Criteria for Sustainable Suppliers Selection in Agro-Industrial Complex

The main goal of paper is to rank the criteria that are important for the selection of the most favourable supplier of the agricultural company by applying a multi-criteria decision-making model. Subject of the paper is the procurement of mineral fertilizer for sowing certain field crops. As a method of work, the author uses DEMATEL (The Decision making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory) method of multicriteria decision making. In order to bring the research as close as possible to human thinking, the fuzzy logic of multicriteria decision-making was applied in the paper. Method is an expert assessment and ranking by experts in the field. In addition to the group of economic and technical criteria, the paper also uses criteria related to sustainable development such as environmental management system, green product, pollution and waste control, recycling and eco-product design. Results of the research show that the criteria that are from the economic group are still assessed as the most important for the decision maker. Importance of the research would be in pointing out the increase in the importance of criteria, especially those from the sustainability group according to their importance in the coming period, and the possibility of applying modern decision-making methods

Evaluation of criteria when selecting agricultural machinery suppliers

The aim of this paper is to apply a modern decision-making method to select the given criteria that would help in selecting the most favourable supplier of sowing equipment. For that purpose, DEMATEL (The Decision Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory) is a suggested method for multi-criteria decision-making, i.e. its fuzzy logic. The reason for this is the use of professional judgment of experts in a given field of analysis where the fuzzy logic of decisions tried to approach human thinking. The paper focus is the equipment for sowing of an agricultural farm in the municipality of Bijeljina, and the obtained results show the influence of certain criteria that are crucial in the selection of suppliers. Also, the benefit of the research stems from the observation of shortcomings, i.e. improving the quality of the subject of work according to certain processed criteria

The Little Book of Philosophy for the Internet of Things

This Little Book is about philosophy. In our research on the PETRAS project, many of the researchers have drawn on different philosophical theories to help them to understand some of the difficult relationships between the digital, physical and connectivity qualities of the Internet of Things (IoT).1 In our research, we have had to consider these relationships in terms of how they impact privacy, ethics, trust, risk, security, and adoption. So, throughout this book, we present several different philosophical theories or strands of thought that help illuminate our research, these are; Thingyness, Hyperobjects, Heterotopias, Respect, Fairness, Ownability, Accelerationism. Because philosophy is so broad and many of its ideas have been around for thousands of years, it can be hard to know how it might apply to something as contemporary and technologically focused as the IoT, or to figure out how to get started with that challenge. With this difficulty in mind, the seven chapters in this book each describe how you can use different aspects of philosophy and theory to think about and understand the IoT. We have written this book in plain English - each of the chapters can be read on their own as a stand-alone, but if you read the whole book, then the links between some of the theories and examples will start to become more clearly visible
