PROJECT TITLE :

Sustainability in Supply Chain Through E-Procurement—An Assessment Framework Based on DANP and Liberatore Score

ABSTRACT:

Sustainable procurement aims at integrating specifications and criteria within the buying process in favor of atmosphere protection whereas guaranteeing resource efficiency, improvement in product or service quality, and value minimization. Though e-procurement is originally adopted by the companies for value and cycle time reduction, more recently, it's been also used as a tool to attain sustainable procurement. But, not a lot of effort has been made thus way to explicitly establish the factors that portray e-procurement as a tool for sustainable procurement and assess the level of sustainability after adoption of necessary practices. We have identified 26 driving factors primarily based on the review of literature and analyze six major dimensions that facilitate in managing sustainable getting programs through the utilization of data and communication technologies. To handle the interdependence among the criteria, we have a tendency to develop an assessment framework using a hybrid model that combines two multicriteria decision creating techniques, specifically, Call Creating Trial and Analysis Laboratory based mostly analytic network process and Liberatore score. The effectiveness of the proposed model is demonstrated with a real-life case study.
