Summary
This study proposes an integrated decision-making framework for sustainable and risk-resilient circular supply chains, applied to a Peruvian paint manufacturing company. Using fuzzy DEMATEL and fuzzy AHP techniques, the authors evaluate multiple sustainability, resilience, and circular economy criteria to identify optimal supply chain partners and prioritise management improvements. The work demonstrates sector-specific adaptation of established methodologies to address local manufacturing challenges whilst promoting circular economy principles.
UK applicability
Whilst the study focuses on paint manufacturing in Peru, the fuzzy multi-criteria decision framework and approach to integrating sustainability with supply chain risk resilience could be adapted for UK manufacturing sectors. However, applicability would depend on UK-specific regulatory contexts, supplier ecosystems, and circular economy policy frameworks.
Key measures
Supplier and distributor selection scores; ranking of sustainability criteria (efficiency, security, and others); fuzzy DEMATEL causal relationship weightings; fuzzy AHP multi-criteria evaluation scores
Outcomes reported
The study identified optimal supplier and distributor choices (Supplier 1, Manufacturer 2, and Distributor 1) and ranked criteria influencing sustainable circular supply chains, with efficiency and security emerging as most influential factors. The research applied fuzzy DEMATEL and fuzzy AHP methodologies to evaluate sustainability, risk resilience, and circular economy integration in a Peruvian paint manufacturing supply chain.
