Intuitionistic fuzzy cognitive map approach for the evaluation of supply chain configuration criteria

Abstract

Because of the growing global competence and effectiveness concepts, supply chain becomes more important for organizations. Therefore, managers object to find best supply chain configuration for their firms. This study proposes a comprehensive configuration for supply chain management process, and it enables to understand relationships among supply chain integration, supply chain strategies, supply chain risk factors, and performance criteria. By reviewing the literature and using experts' knowledge, supply chain configuration criteria are determined. Intuitionistic fuzzy cognitive map methodology is employed to consider the interrelations between criteria. Intuitionistic fuzzy cognitive map methodology is a suitable tool due to the presence of causalities and relationships among criteria and the difficulty of expressing the interrelations with crisp numbers. It also deals with uncertain and vague data and allows representing hesitation. The application is conducted in an automobile factory, which is one of the largest manufacturers in Turkey. The results show that selection of proper supplier is the most significant supply chain configuration criteria. Thus, the importance of supplier selection criteria is also analyzed as the second phase of the study.

Los mapas cognitivos difusos y su aplicación en la investigación de las ciencias sociales: estudio de sus principales problemáticas

“…Así, confirmada la aplicación de esta metodología en el área de las ciencias sociales, resaltar algunos estudios realizados en este área según las cuatro aplicaciones que tienen los Mapas Cognitivos Difusos (MCD) y que nombramos en la introducción: describir sistemas (Dursun & Gumus, 2020;Sánchez, Aguilar, Terán, & de Mesa, 2019;Wang, Liu, Dong, & Soares, 2019), explicar el por qué del comportamiento de los ítems o agentes intervinientes de un sistema (Maden & Alptekin, 2020;Vera-Mora, Leyva-Vásquez, León-Acurio, & Botto-Tobar, 2018;Nayak, Madireddy, Case, & Stylios, 2017), para tomar decisiones (Falcone & De Rosa, 2020; González-González, Infante-Moro, & Infante-Moro, 2020; Salmerón, 2009) y para predecir las acciones de los ítems o agentes intervinientes en un sistema (Liu & Liu, 2020;Ighravwe & Mashao, 2019;Singh, Papageorgiou, Chudasama, & Papageorgiou, 2019). Esta amplitud de aplicaciones demuestra la versatilidad y la gran utilidad de esta metodología en esta área.…”

“…Son zamanlarda, Gaur ve diğerleri [18] yeni ve yeniden yapılandırılmış ürünlerin çok kaynaklı kapalı döngü TZK eniyilemesi için karma tamsayılı doğrusal olmayan bir programlama modeli geliştirdi. Dursun and Gumus [19] sezgisel bulanık bilişsel harita yöntemini kullanarak tedarik zinciri konfigürasyon kriterlerini değerlendirmiştir. Zhang ve diğerleri [20] maliyeti ve temin süresini en küçükleyen çok amaçlı TZK modeli geliştirmiştir.…”
