Supplier selection based on supply chain ecosystem, performance and risk criteria

A supply chain ecosystem consists of the elements of the supply chain and the entities that influence the goods, information and financial flows through the supply chain. These influences come through government regulations, human, financial and natural resources, logistics infrastructure and management, etc., and thus affect the supply chain performance. Similarly, all the ecosystem elements also contribute to the risk. The aim of this paper is to identify both performances-based and risk-based decision criteria, which are important and critical to the supply chain. A two step approach using fuzzy AHP and fuzzy technique for order of preference by similarity to ideal solution has been proposed for multi-criteria decision-making and illustrated using a numerical example. The first step does the selection without considering risks and then in the next step suppliers are ranked according to their risk profiles. Later, the two ranks are consolidated into one. In subsequent section, the method is also extended for multi-tier supplier selection. In short, we are presenting a method for the design of a resilient supply chain, in this paper

Multi tier supplier selection for a sustainable global supply chain

Using the green supply chain supply ecosystem consisting of the supply chain, resources involved, the government and social factors and the delivery mechanism, we formulate the risk and performance criteria as qualitative as well as quantitative measures. Then we solve the multi tier sustainable supplier selection problem using grey relational analysis approach

Decision Support Systems and Artificial Intelligence in Supply Chain Risk Management

This chapter considers the importance of decision support systems for supply chain risk management (SCRM). The first part provides an overview of the different operations research techniques and methodologies for decision making for managing risks, focusing on multiple-criteria decision analysis methods and mathematical programming. The second part is devoted to artificial intelligence (AI) techniques which have been applied in the SCRM domain to analyse data and make decisions regarding possible risks. These include Petri nets, multi-agent systems, automated reasoning and machine learning. The chapter concludes with a discussion of potential ways in which future decision support systems for SCRM can benefit from recent advances in AI research
