摘要

In the modern era of global competition, supply chain management (SCM) cannot be limited to economic efficiency alone. Environmental sustainability and social responsibility must now be included. In this context, this study evaluates eight key SCM practices; Agile SCM, Lean Manufacturing, Vendor-Managed Inventory, Efficient Consumer Response, Just-in-Time, Demand-Driven SCM, Sustainable SCM, and Cross-Docking. The analysis was based on a rich data set covering economic, environmental, and social parameters. This study compares the results obtained using weight assignment techniques Criteria Importance Through Intercriteria Correlation (CRITIC) with other Multi Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) method. Additionally, the best suppliers have been compared through supplier ranking methods such as the Preference Ranking Organization Method for Enrichment of Evaluations (PROMETHEE), elimination and choice translating reality (ELECTRE), Complex Proportional Assessment (COPRAS) and Additive Ratio Assessment (ARAS). In addition, the study compared the Pareto frontier obtained from the proposed multi-objective linear programming (MOLP) model by integrating the Epsilon Constraint and Weighted Sum Methods. Based on these methods, cross-docking and sustainable SCM were found to be the best-performing options, whereas vendor-managed inventory proved to be comparatively less effective. Sensitivity analysis is used to evaluate robustness of the model. This study provides concrete guidance for policymakers to adopt sustainable, flexible, and effective SCM strategies.
