This research addresses the challenges of multi-attribute group decision-making in a hesitant fuzzy environment, where randomness and uncertainty introduce biases into practical making choices. A probability-based double uncertain fuzzy (PDHF) algorithm is proposed to overcome these challenges....

Credit risk assessment involves conducting a fair review and evaluation of an assessed subject's solvency and creditworthiness. In the context of real estate enterprises, credit risk assessment provides a basis for banks and other fnancial institutions to choose suitable investment objects....

The logistics center concept has been discussed in the literature for over four decades. Logistics centers simplify the logistics network and have many advantages, such as lower transportation costs, an economy of scale, and integrated service capabilities. We propose a spatial multi-criteria...

The ambiguous sets have recently been proposed to represent inherent uncertainties, imprecision, and vague information. In this study, we generalize the concept of the ambiguous set to a single-valued ambiguous number (SVAN). We propose many comparison functions and operational laws for SVANs....

A Closed-Loop Supply Chain (CLSC) is a complex network with unique environmental features and attributes that requires specific managerial policies and strategies. Quantitative models can provide a solid basis for these policies and strategies. This study expands the work of Shoaeinaeini et al....

Green practices are no longer a wish but a must in business. Despite that, businesses interested in implementing green supply-chain practices encounter several barriers. This study aims to analyze the barriers and solution proposals related to green supply chain practices in the manufacturing...

Green Supply Chain Management (GSCM) has emerged as a paramount issue in modern business organizations striving to become environmentally sustainable. Suppliers are pivotal in building a green supply chain. Green supplier selection (GSS) is a complex task involving several steps, from evaluation...

Public health agencies and medical organizations have increased their relentless efforts to control the outbreaks of mosquitoes causing West Nile disease epidemics with the re-emergence of deadly disease in the United States. Such measures include a large-scale spray operation of insecticides...

Several digital technologies are available to facilitate the transition toward a circular supply chain infrastructure. Small-Medium Enterprises (SMEs) should assess their readiness and measure their performance to select the most appropriate digital technology. This study explores how...

Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA), Multi-criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA), and Cluster Analysis (CA) are techniques widely used to help decision-makers determine the solution to problems with multiple and often conflicting criteria. This study presents a comprehensive review of the literature on...
