“…Zarbakhshnia et al [28] used fuzzy SWARA and fuzzy COPRAS to evaluate sustainable third-part reverse logistics provider, and the results showed that environmental and social indicators become dominant when selecting third-part logistics providers. Prakash and Barua [29] developed an integrated model under fuzzy environment for third-part logistics provider selection. Aguezzoul [30] provided a literature review on criteria and methods in third-part logistics selection.…”

In the process of evaluating the green levels of cold-chain logistics providers, experts may hesitate between several linguistic terms rather than give precise values over the alternatives. Due to the potential profit and risk of business decisions, decision-making information is often based on experts' expectations of programs and is expressed as hesitant fuzzy linguistic terms. The consistency of evaluation information of an alternative can reflect the clarity of the alternative in the mind of experts and its own controversy. This paper proposes a method to use the value transfer function in the cumulative prospect theory to convert the original hesitant fuzzy linguistic terms into evaluation information based on reference points. We also introduce the parameters related to the disorder of the system in the hesitant fuzzy thermodynamic method to describe the quantity and quality characteristics of the alternatives. In these kinds of multi-criteria decision-making problems, the weights of criteria are of great importance for decision-making results. Considering the conflicting cases among criteria, the weights were obtained by utilizing the PROMETHEE method. An illustrative example concerning green logistics provider selection was operated to show the practicability of the proposed method.

“…Repair and refurbishing still need more literature. In terms of disposition and reverse logistics, it will also be more interesting to find the literature that combines reverse logistics activities and disposition methods, depending on the 3PLs' ability -.as in, for example, the research carried out by Prakash and Barua [21], where they combined the disposition methods of re-use, recycle, repair, and remanufacturing while the 3PRLP performed collection and inspection. There is also a great difference between the first and second decades in the use of real case studies.…”

The concepts of Industry 4.0 and closed loop supply chains are becoming popular as logistics management evolves. Industry 4.0, through its instruments such as cloud manufacturing and the Internet of Things, has been known to improve operations management significantly. At the same time, closed loop supply chains have gained momentum with the increase in environmental sustainability issues. However, closed loop supply chains are often associated with uncertainties in the timing, quality, and quantity of returns. For these and other reasons, most organisations employ third parties to perform most reverse logistics activities. This paper systematically reviews the literature on the entry and use of third parties in reverse logistics with the objective of providing researchers with future research directions for this fast-emerging topic. The results show that there is a need to expand on the literature and on managerial issues such as performance measurement of reverse logistics networks with third parties. The literature also needs to consider how third parties use technological aspects such as Industry 4.0 to manage and operate reverse supply chains successfully.

“…For instance, Fallahpour et al [118] developed a hybrid fuzzy AHP and TOPSIS model for sustainable supplier selection in order to improve the performance of sustainable textile supply chain. Similarly, Prakash and Barua [119] studied a third-party reverse logistics provider selection by employing a hybrid fuzzy AHP and TOPSIS approach. Moreover, Awasthi et al [92] proposed a fuzzy TOPSIS approach to evaluate the environmental performance of suppliers.…”

Abstract:Growing environmental awareness coupled with stricter governmental regulations has fueled the need for integrating sustainability into supply chain and logistics activities. Accordingly, recent studies in the literature have emphasized the significance of environmentally concerned logistics operations (ECLO). Research in the broad area of ECLO encompasses a wide range of topics including sustainable supply chain, green supply chain, closed-loop supply chain, low-carbon logistics, and waste management. In this paper, a comprehensive content analysis and area review is presented. Over 800 papers published between 1994 and 2017 in peer-reviewed journals, proceedings, and book chapters are utilized. These papers are analyzed in consecutive stages after being reviewed under a structural dimension process that addresses the fields of environmentally concerned logistics operations. Following the state-of-the-art review, a detailed analysis of ECLO research with a special emphasis on fuzzy applications is provided. The findings clearly indicate that the fuzzy multi-criteria decision making technique is a frequently used hybrid method, whereas fuzzy sets theory and other fuzzy hybrid techniques identify a gap in the related literature. This paper provides further critical analysis and other research suggestions in order to clarify these gaps and offer additional research perspectives. This information may provide extensive data that will enable future researchers to fill these gaps within this field.
