Abstract

Supply chain management emerged as the ultimate management strategy to ensure the competitive advantages of companies in their markets. Suppliers are considered as inevitable sources of external risks in modern supply chains. In this respect, resonance is essential for the ability to adapt in resonance to disturbances and to restore in choosing suppliers. As suppliers of critical resources are vulnerable, choosing better suppliers to create resilience, and thereby reducing the risks in the supply chain as a whole. In recent years, emphasis has been placed on supply chain resilience and resilient suppliers, but few studies have been conducted on the evaluation and selection of resilient suppliers with multi-criteria decision making models. The main purposes of this study are a broad review of the literature on the resilient factor, factorization, efficiency of key factors in the reliance of suppliers and the ranking of resilient suppliers using the combined approach of SWARA and WASPAS. For this purpose, after a comprehensive review of Literature interview with the experts of petrochemical upstream industry, six key factors and overall resilience of suppliers were identified in eighteen factors. Then the weight of the dimensions was determined by using the SWARA method. The output of the method showed that supplier accountability and key performance factors were the most important factors in assessing the resilience of suppliers. Using the supporting method, five resilient suppliers were evaluated based on six dimensions and the final ranking of suppliers was determined. With this ranking, the industry will be a major step towards improving supply chain and increasing suppliers’ resilience to address disruptions and risks, improve supply and achieve competitive advantage and satisfy the consumers’ needs.

a FSIR approach based methodology for TOPSIS, which using MILTENBURG Strategy

Worksheet in order to analyzing of the status of strategy of the Gas Company. Then formulates

the priorities of a fuzzy pair-wise comparison matrix as a linear programming and

derives crisp priorities from fuzzy pair-wise comparison matrices

Manufacturing levers (Alternatives) are examined and analyzed as the main elements of

manufacturing strategy. Also, manufacturing outputs (Criteria are identified that are competitive

priorities of production of any organization. Next, using a hybrid approach of FSIR

and TOPSIS, alternatives (manufacturing levers) are ranked. So dealing with the selected

manufacturing levers and promoting them, an organization makes customers satisfied with

the least cost and time.
