From: A novel intuitionistic fuzzy Yager aggregation framework for decision making in green supply chains

Indicator

Description

Uncertainty modelling capability

Ability of the proposed framework to represent the uncertainty of expert evaluations based on intuitionistic fuzzy information for GRSCM criteria such as green procurement, eco-design and environmental compliance, etc

Hesitation preservation

Extent to which the aggregation process retains and propagates the degree of hesitation present in the expert judgment(s) when conducting a sustainable assessment

Aggregation flexibility

Capability of Yager’s Parameterized T-Norm and T-Conorm to adapt its aggregation behaviour based on the different attitudes towards decision-making found in sustainable evaluations

Criteria weighting objectivity

Effectiveness of the Entropy-Based Weighting Scheme in determining the relative importance of the sustainability criteria objectively rather than only based on expert’s subjective preferences

Theoretical consistency

Assurance of mathematical soundness through satisfaction of axiomatic properties such as idempotency, monotonicity, boundedness, and commutativity within the aggregation process

Ranking stability

The degree to which the proposed method produces ranking(s) of GRSCM alternatives that are consistent and reliable with respect to the intuitionistic fuzzy aggregation

Result Interpretation

Clarity with which decision-makers can understand and explain the aggregated results and final rankings in practical sustainability decision scenarios

Practical applicability

Suitability of the proposed framework for real-world GRSCM decision-making problems involving multiple sustainability criteria and uncertain information
