With a great emphasis on both social and environmental responsibilities, sustainable supply chain management has gradually been adopted and promoted as an innovative business model. In sustainable supply chain practice, the choice of sustainable suppliers relates to the long-term development of a company. While the environmental performance of suppliers has been commonly considered, the social dimension has not yet received enough attention. This paper first proposes a novel criteria system for evaluating sustainable suppliers from three aspects and six dimensions, and then introduces an integrated evaluation model with a novel hybrid information aggregation. To verify the applicability and effectiveness of the proposed method, a real case of a large supermarket is introduced and analyzed. The research results show that (1) the indicator system based on Triple Bottom Line theory can serve as a framework of sustainable supplier selection for manufacturing and circulation enterprises; (2) the introduction of hybrid information aggregation can effectively handle the uncertainties of indicator scores under the realistic fuzzy environment and objectively reflect the intentions of the scorers; and (3) in comparison with the TOPSIS algorithm, the priority order finally obtained is consistent, but the proposed model shows more robustness in the sensitivity test.

“…Logistics plays key role in supporting organizations as they strive for more efficient management systems (Sheridan, 1993;Wallenburg, 2005) as in the business practices, the inefficient logistics system together with the inefficient internal management would disable the organization to respond to the needs of customers with the lowest price at the shortest feasible time frame including the quality level which does not meet customer expectation and would lead the organizations to the competitive disadvantage situation against their rivals. With a broad range of manufacturers and distributors for our customers to choose from, they can choose to purchase the products from the manufacturers and distributors who capable to offer products which match their specified quality at the lowest prices and be delivered on time (Stalk and Hout, 1990;Azzone and Masella, 1991;Adobor & McMullen, 2007).…”

This research investigation is concerned with determining how well internal collaboration and external collaboration link through logistics performance to influence on marketing performance and competitive performance of the firm. With data collected from 104 general managers from 120 available palm oil companies in southern Thailand, findings indicate that marketing performance was affected by the influence of logistics performance and by the direct and indirect influence of internal collaboration. Competitive performance was affected by external collaboration. When taking into account the role of logistics performance as a mediator, it was found that logistics performance was affected only by internal collaboration and transmitted the effects to marketing performance.

“…The sheer effort of top management alone is inadequate to manage complex aspects of supply chain (Howell and Boies, 2004;Mantere, 2005;Adobor and McMullen, 2007). Joint efforts of key leadership team are essential for effective implementation of supply chain strategy initiatives.…”
