Scrutinizing blockchain applicability in sustainable supply chains through an integrated fuzzy multi-criteria decision making framework

Ismail Erol et al.

Summary: Sustainability has become increasingly important in constructing resilient supply chains. Customers' demand for sustainable products has put pressure on manufacturers and suppliers to become more sustainable globally. Decision-makers are interested in applying disruptive technologies like blockchain to address societal, environmental, and economic concerns. However, existing research lacks a quantitative examination of the critical functions of sustainable supply chains (SSCs) for blockchain applicability. This study investigates the most feasible functions of SSCs for potential blockchain implementations and suggests that sourcing, delivery, transformation, and product recovery are the most appropriate functions. This research provides valuable insights for decision-makers on where blockchain can create additional value in SSCs.

Muhammad Akram et al.

Summary: Hesitant Pythagorean fuzzy sets are a successful generalization of Pythagorean fuzzy sets, allowing for effective incorporation of vague data and information. In this study, we propose an ELECTRE-I approach under the hesitant Pythagorean fuzzy environment for risk assessment in failure modes and effects analysis (FMEA). This approach utilizes hesitant Pythagorean fuzzy sets to measure and rank risks, and employs an outranking decision graph to identify the most crucial failure mode.

A New Picture Fuzzy Entropy and Its Application Based on Combined Picture Fuzzy Methodology with Partial Weight Information

Sunit Kumar et al.

Summary: A new picture fuzzy entropy measure is proposed in this paper and it is proved to satisfy the axiomatic definition of entropy measures for picture fuzzy sets. The justification of the proposed measure is established through discussing its specific cases and comparing it with existing entropy measures. In the case where criteria weights are partially known, an entropy-based method is used to produce objective weights. An integrated picture fuzzy TODIM-ELECTRE model is proposed to combine the advantages of PFSs, TODIM, and ELECTRE. The superiority of the new model is verified through a numerical example and comparative study.
