Abstract :

The aim of this research is to present a combined ANP and Fuzzy DEMATEL model in multi-criteria decision-making for identifying and prioritizing sustainable supply chain cost reduction of production cables. The statistical population of this research includes all industrial engineers and production planners based at Simcat Tabriz Company. The statistical sample is 10 industry experts selected according to hourly opinion. A researcher-made questionnaire. In this research, ANP has been used to prioritize sustainable supply chain cost reduction and prioritize it, and Fuzzy DEMATEL has been used to identify the intensity of cause-and-effect relationships in sustainable supply chain cost reduction. For this purpose, 23 criteria have been selected according to the opinions of industry experts. The results obtained from network analysis show that the cost control is more preferable for company and is the best criterion for selecting the green warehouse priority. Because the use of green energy and the adoption of sustainable technologies to produce cables with environmental compatibility and prevent further pollution were required in those conditions. On the other hand, the production of such cables created energy savings and the transfer of this energy savings to other sectors for optimal energy use was more necessary. The results of the fuzzy DEMATEL method show that consumer pressure, investment, competitors and societal culture thinking are in the first, second, third and last ranks respectively.
