Abstract
Sustainable supplier selection is one of the most important decisions for companies in sustainable supply chain management. Therefore, sustainable supplier performance evaluation and selection are of great importance in terms of economic, environmental, and social aspects of sustainable development. Sustainable supplier selection problem can be considered as a multiple-criteria decision-making (MCDM) problem. In the MCDM problems, decision-makers evaluate conflicting criteria and alternatives according to their own preferences/judgments. One of the most well-known MCDM methods is the technique for order preference by similarity to an ideal solution (TOPSIS). Neutrosophic set (NS) is an extension of fuzzy set where each element of the universe has the degrees of truth, indeterminacy, and falsity. A single-valued neutrosophic set (SVNS) is a special case of the neutrosophic set. This chapter aims to evaluate sustainable supplier selection in a Turkish discount market chain using the single-valued neutrosophic TOPSIS method based on normalized Euclidean and Hamming distances.
