“…On the other hand, the outcomes obtained through the BWM should be compared with those achieved using the simple additive weighting (SAW) method. Darvazeh et al [58] applied the SAW method to determine the optimal number of suppliers, considering a set of leagile (lean and agile) and environmentally sustainable criteria. This approach involves assigning weights to each criterion and evaluating each alternative based on these assigned weights.…”

As food supply chains pursue sustainability, numerous questions arise from their agents, focusing on the role of reverse logistics in sustainable packaging design and its effective contribution to waste reduction and the conservation of natural resources. With the goal of developing a new multi‐criteria decision‐making framework, this article examines how several multi‐criteria decision‐making approaches can be used to facilitate the selection of sustainable product‐package designs. Using a case study, the multi‐criteria decision‐making method analyses package design, helping decision‐makers to determine and minimize the percentage of food losses at each step of the supply chain. Furthermore, the design of both the product and its packaging must encompass the entire life cycle, including materials sourcing, production, transportation, use and disposal. Achieving sustainability requires a collaborative effort among all supply chain agents, from producers to consumers. Consequently, this study aims to explore the challenges and opportunities of attaining sustainable product and packaging design in the food supply chain, emphasizing the need for a long‐term, collaborative approach to sustainability. This study concludes that sustainable packaging is highly relevant in the circular food supply chain due to its direct contributions to reducing food waste, conserving resources, mitigating carbon emissions, and meeting consumer preferences for eco‐friendly products. Given the consideration of relevant criteria, the multicriteria method appears to be suitable for analysing food supply chains, thanks to its systematic approach in managing the application of sustainable packaging throughout the entire process, including the production, processing, distribution, and consumption of food products.

“…In this respect, a study carried out by Vanichchinchai (2022) indicated that the integration of Toyota Way and agile manufacturing can lead to a hybrid leagile system. Several scholars have also endorsed the benefits of integrating the leagile system into product supply chains (Darvazeh et al, 2022;Rahimi and Alemtabriz, 2022;Singh and Modgil, 2020). A leagile firm provides the best value product to the market by integrating efficiency, effectiveness and adaptability to deal with a dynamic marketplace.…”

PurposeRapid changes in the global environment and the effects of existing economic issues triggered by COVID-19 and the war in Ukraine have posed several challenges for manufacturing firms. A hybrid strategy integrating lean and agile (leagile) systems is viable for firms to enhance their capabilities in such dynamic contexts. This paper examines the critical drivers of leagile manufacturing system adoption in an emerging economy from the technological, organizational and environmental (TOE) perspective.Design/methodology/approachA cross-sectional survey is carried out to obtain data from 438 managers working in 219 manufacturing firms. Multiple regression analysis is applied to test the effect of technological, organizational and environmental drivers on the adoption of leagile systems.FindingsThe results show that organization capacity, environmental uncertainty and relative advantage demonstrate the most significant positive relationships with the leagile systems adoption wherein complexity and resistance to change appear to exhibit significant negative associations. Unexpectedly, firm size unveils no significant effect on the adoption of leagile systems.Practical implicationsTo deal effectively with critical challenges triggered by ever-changing environment, firms have sought to adopt innovative systems for achieving products' availability in the markets at the right quality and price. A hybrid strategy integrating lean and agile (leagile) systems is viable to enhance a firm's capabilities in such dynamic contexts. The findings of our study help top management and policymakers identify and assess the critical drivers that may facilitate or hinder the successful adoption of leagile systems.Originality/valueA major trend of studies in the field of manufacturing systems has focused on the critical success factors of adopting either lean or agile systems. Furthermore, research work concerning leagile as a hybrid system focuses primarily on the conceptual development rather than empirical grounds of leagile systems. Given the lack of empirical research in this field, this study offers an early attempt to predict leagile system adoption in an emerging economy. It also contributes to the manufacturing systems research by extending the extant knowledge about the role of firm-level drivers in leagile system adoption from the TOE perspective.

“…To tackle the complexity of the problem, a self-adaptive, nondominated sorting genetic algorithm II (NSGA-II) algorithm is designed, which is then evaluated against the ε-constraint method. Darvazeh et al [32] proposed a hybrid methodology to expose the process of this problem which helps managers learn how they can determine the optimal number of suppliers. ey addressed this gap by developing an integrated approach based on multicriteria decision-making (MCDM) comprising best-worst method (BWM), simple additive weighting (SAW), and a technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS), and simulation to determine the optimal number of suppliers.…”

One of the main goals of supply chain management is to ensure proper flows of products and information through all nodes to supply them in the right place at the right time. To achieve this objective, it is very important to consider flows of products and finances among supply chain nodes. Traditionally, operational and financial processes have been optimized as separate problems. The developed model addresses the problem of designing a supply chain network and tries to integrate both areas of operations and financial aspects to maximize the value created and measured by the Shareholder Value Analysis (SVA). The results show that with appropriate financial decisions, creating more value for the company and its shareholders is achievable. The developed model with a new financial approach is able to improve the total created shareholder value as much as 0.7% larger than the SVA obtained without financial aspects and 0.93% larger than the value created by the basic model. The main reason for an increase in value creation is due to new operational and financial aspects, which mainly show the possibility of closing facilities and bank debt repayments. To validate and show the applicability of the proposed model, it was solved by GAMS-BARON solver with data provided from the literature. Sensitivity analyses on financial parameters were performed to evaluate the results.
