Abstract

Petroleum is an important strategic material connected with the national economy's safety. Sustainable supplier performance evaluation plays a considerable role in establishing an effective, sustainable supply chain management (SSCM) and is related to the safety of petroleum production and supply. Social responsibility, governmental regulations, and public consciousness of environmental aspects are enforcing the companies to make their supply chains more sustainable. This paper presents a method for sustainable supplier selection problems by combining fuzzy decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL), analytic network process (ANP), data envelopment analysis (DEA) methods, and Anderson-Peterson rating model. This method proposes a novel procedure for solving the sustainable supplier selection problem. It allows decision-makers to minimize the negative environmental effects and maximize the social impact of the supply chain while maximizing its business performance. At first, the effects between selection criteria are computed by Fuzzy DEMATEL. Then the weights of each criterion-related with to the petroleum supplier selection are derived by the ANP method. Results of this stage are inputs for the next stage, where DEA is applied to select the best suppliers. Finally, 15 petroleum supplier companies in Iran are evaluated and prioritized as a case study to show the capabilities of the proposed model.
