“…Deschrijver and Kerre (2003) argued that all the logic that came after fuzzy has its strong relationship with fuzzy sets. Adding to it, the works of Ahn et al (2017), Civelek et al (2017); Eajal et al (2015), Hellwig et al (2017); Lerkkasemsan (2017), Olugu and Wong (2011) and Zabihi et al (2017) are all the recent works imparting fuzzy logic in different field from medical health to microbes to management studies.…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine and model the in-plant operational efficiency of tow trucks of an automobile manufacturing plant. Even though, tow trucks contribute toward the improvement of operational performance, little case-based evidence prevail in the literature. For this purpose, a case study has been conducted in an Indian automobile manufacturer to address the prevailing issues in material handling (MH). Design/methodology/approach Initially, this paper focuses on grouping of the sequence parts and finding the shortest path among the groups. To elucidate this, an analytical framework based on the distance and stuffing quantity is proposed. A fuzzy Dijkstra’s algorithm is used to solve the issues in grouping of the sequence parts and shortest path among the groups. Findings This study addressed the four aspects of MH: move cost, time, distance and material by integrating the function of grouping, finding the shortest path and communication with low cost devices. The result shows that logistics routes and activities should not be interrupted by any of the external factors. The availability of stock is a key performance variable to attain efficiency. In addition to this, effective communication between the truck operators and the production line managers is key performance indicator. Originality/value The paper helps the automobile practitioners on increasing the efficiency of tow truck by systemizing the routes. Logistics routes and activities should not be interrupted by any of the external factors. The availability of stock is a key performance variable to attain efficiency. In addition to this, effective communication between the truck operators and the line managers is key performance indicator.

“…In addition, there are limited existing performance measurement tools which have been applied in RSC and they may not be adequate to fully assess its efficiency. Some tools which have been utilized in applications related to RSC performance evaluation are, for example, analytical hierarchy process [10,11], life cycle assessment [12], activitybased costing [13], balanced scorecard [14], and fuzzy logic [15].…”

The paper aims to illustrate the use of fuzzy data envelopment analysis (DEA) in analyzing reverse supply chain (RSC) performance from the manufacturer’s perspective. By using an alternativeα-cut approach, the fuzzy DEA model was converted into a crisp linear programming problem, thereby altering the problem to an interval programming one. The model is able to obtain precise and robust efficiency values. An investigation was also made between the obtained efficiency scores and certain relevant background information of the companies. The study revealed that while ISO 14001 certification usually ensures an environmentally friendly supply chain network, companies which have implemented RSC techniques since a longer duration do not necessarily have a more efficient supply chain in general.

Increasing product demands, environmental aspects, and overpopulation have an impact on the sustainability of a supply chain, especially in the food sector. In a food supply chain from production to consumption, there are many parameters (resources, packaging, waste management, etc.) that need to be taken into account for sustainability. The aim of this study is to determine the parameters affecting sustainable food supply chain management for the food sector and to measure the performance of the parameters along the supply chain. In this study, several performance indices and sub-criteria are defined by reviewing the indices previously discussed in the literature and accounting for expert opinions on the sustainable food supply chain. Customer satisfaction, resource utilization, product safety, innovation, reliability, company information, packaging, and waste management are defined as the parameters, as these are dimensions that should be improved in sustainable food supply chain management. The performance score for each dimension is calculated via Structural Equation Modeling and the Analytic Hierarchy Process. Customer satisfaction is calculated to have the highest performance, with a score of 86.23% in sustainable food supply chain management performance evaluation, followed by the product safety dimension, at 84.65%, while the performance index score of the reliability dimension is 82.97%, that of the packaging dimension is 78.81%, that of the company information dimension is 75.10%, that of resource utilization is 71.41%, and that of the waste management dimension is 67.83%. The sustainable food supply chain performance evaluation for the food sector in Turkey indicates that it has an overall performance of 79.7%. The results of this study include feedbacks on parameters in the food chain from agriculture to consumers.
