“…Decisions may be taken manually or with the assistance of decision support tool, such as ELECTRE, or PROMETHEE. Mixed group-based decisionmaking methods, such as Delphi-SWOT (Tavana et al, 2012), will be implemented in the future development of this approach. The approach is illustrated with a case study in the next section: an analysis of four agricultural supply chains in the environmental area relating to rice straw valorisation processes in France.…”

A B S T R A C TThe bioconversion of lignocellulosic biomass is a promising method for the production of bio-energy, biomolecules and biomaterials. Pretreatment of the lignocellulosic biomass is an essential step in this process. The choice of pretreatment process is a difficult one, and there are currently no clear criteria on which to base this choice. This project, with its sustainability and agri-food perspective, used environmental impacts to assess the various processes and their panels of technologies. The approach developed integrates big data, to improve sustainability management in supply chain design, with the aim of valorising agricultural waste. In five main steps, this approach combines concepts from industry 4.0, sustainability and the agri-food industry. We apply this approach to a case study in the domain of agricultural waste valorisation: the pretreatment of lignocellulosic biomass in the rice supply chain.

“…Aside from forecasting, applications suit gathering data to explore logistics planning and potential policy options (Linstone and Turoff, 1975;Cetin and Cerit, 2010;Makukha and Grey, 2004;von der Gracht and Darkow, 2010). Applications to energy policy include hybrid and mixed methods studies (Tavana et al, 2012;LaBelle, 2012) and focus on divergent opinions (Makkonen et al, 2012). However, an objective of synthesising perceptions suits a "Classic" design to canvass opinions and achieve consensus, varied slightly to process numerical data.…”

“…Therefore, Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Analytical Network Process (ANP) are usually applied to examine whether the dependency among the factors changes the priorities of strategies (Yüksel, Dağdeviren 2007;Zheng, Liu 2013;Zhou, Chen 2014). Besides AHP and ANP approaches, VIKOR (Azimi et al 2011b), DELPHI (Tavana et al 2012) and TOPSIS (Arabzad et al 2015) methods are also used within SWOT analysis in literature. The merits and demerits of various MCDM methods have been described in Table 2.…”

Demand for natural gas has severely challenged the world supply among other types of energy sources such as coal, geothermal, nuclear and etc. Natural gas is the most important form of energy because it is clean, abundant, reliable and versatile. Due to the limited and transportable characterizes of natural gas, sharing pipelines for natural gas with other nations can either bring peace and stability or create chaos. To avoid insoluble strategies, it is very explicit to decide scientifically for these kinds of global issues. To do so, a SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats) – ANP (Analytic Network Process) integrated approach is presented to evaluate natural gas policies for Turkey in terms of East Mediterranean Region. In the first step, the appropriate strategies, SO (strengths-opportunities), ST (strengths-threats), WO (weaknesses-opportunities) and WT (weaknesses-threats) are determined via SWOT analysis including four criteria, 20 sub-criteria and seven strategies. Due to inability of SWOT analysis to prioritize the criteria and rank the strategies, ANP approach which also considers the dependency between criteria is applied in the second step. Finally, the proposed SWOT-ANP approach is compared with other multi criteria decision making (MCDM) techniques to represent the effectiveness and applicability of the model.
