Abstract
Supplier selection decision is a significant component for printing business to enhance the organizational performance. The decision is a multi-criteria decision-making problem that comprises of tangible and intangible factors. Sustainability has been addressed as a key issue in the printing business, but it has not been used as the factor for the supplier selection. This paper therefore proposes the sustainable criteria based on the hybrid approaches of supplier selection for printing business. The methodology of selecting the final supplier consists of three phrases. First, the sustainable criteria are identified by SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats) analysis. Then, the weight of each criteria is determined and ranked by AHP (Analytical Hierarchy Process). Lastly, the supplier is evaluated and selected using TOPSIS (Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution). Finally, a numerical example is applied in each phase to illustrate the proposed approaches. The proposed sustainable critera and hybrid approaches have a great ability to evaluate sustainable supplier in printing business. ฉ 2018 IEEE.
