Abstract

In the food manufacturing industry, which is critical to national economies, there is a growing imperative to meet heightened safety, quality, and environmental standards, particularly in the face of supply chain disruptions. This study addresses the gap in literature by integrating sustainable and resilient supply chain theories with risk management and low-carbon principles into a supplier selection framework. Utilizing the Delphi method, fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (FAHP), and fuzzy multi-objective programming (FMOP), we develop a decision-making model specifically calibrated for the food sector. Initially, the study establishes a comprehensive criteria system encompassing quality, cost, delivery, low-carbon, and risk management through a literature review and expert consultation. Subsequently, FAHP is employed to determine the relative importance of each criterion in supplier selection. Furthermore, FMOP is utilized to develop a decision-making model for optimizing supplier selection and order allocation. Validated through a numerical study based on a Chinese food manufacturer, the framework presents a practical tool for food manufacturers, ensuring supply chain stability while aligning with sustainability objectives. This research refines decision making and strengthens the competitive stance of food manufacturers, significantly propelling the industry’s green transformation.
