Abstract

In the cloud manufacturing environment, the interaction and cooperation between enterprises become more convenient. The most optimal green supplier selection through cloud manufacturing platform can improve the production quality and sustainable development efficiency of enterprises. However, as alternative suppliers are all over the world, there is a risk that the selected supplier is not ideal. Therefore, in this paper, a hybrid supplier selection model based on TODIM method is proposed to choose the optimal green supplier under cloud manufacturing platform. Considering the characteristics of suppliers in the cloud manufacturing environment and green criteria, the comprehensive green supplier evaluation index system is constructed. The creative application of heterogeneous evaluation information including crisp numbers, interval numbers, and probabilistic linguistic values, can express the evaluation information of different subjects comprehensively. In order to consider human judgment and the importance of information provided by raw data, the criteria weights are determined by integrating fuzzy BWM (Best-worst method) weights and objective entropy weights. Then, with the full consideration of decision maker’s risk attitude, the TODIM method is used to process heterogeneous evaluation information and calculate the priority of the green suppliers. The proposed method is novel, and allows multi-subjects to participate in the assessment process and considers the risk attitude of decision-makers in the green supplier selection process. An empirical study of green supplier selection in the cloud manufacturing environment is conducted. Sensitivity analysis and comparative analysis indicate that the proposed selection model for green supplier is reliable and effective.
