Considering economic, environmental, and social issues, the sustainability of the supply chain has drawn considerable attention due to societal and environmental changes within the supply chain network. The strategic study of the entire supply chain process and maximizing an organization's competitive advantage depend heavily on supplier selection based on sustainable indicators. Selecting sustainable suppliers for the supply chain is challenging since it is a multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) problem with significant uncertainty in the decision-making process. This study uses the VlseKriterijumska Optimizacija I Kompromisno Resenje (VIKOR) technique and single-valued neutrosophic sets (SVNS) to deal with the challenge of choosing a sustainable supplier with insufficient information. This method reduces the influence of personal experience and preference on the final evaluation results and the problem of excessive individual regret caused by factor correlation and improves the consistency of evaluation results. Finally, the method's success and adaptability are demonstrated by sensitivity analysis and additional comparison analysis, and the benefits and drawbacks of the suggested framework are examined. Compared to other approaches, it can assist decision-makers in communicating fuzzy and uncertain information, offering a perspective and approach for MCDM in the face of such situations, and helping them select suppliers of high caliber and who practice sustainable business practices.
考虑到经济、环境和社会问题，由于供应链网络内的社会和环境变化，供应链的可持续性引起了相当大的关注。整个供应链流程的战略研究以及最大限度地提高组织的竞争优势在很大程度上取决于基于可持续指标的供应商选择。由于这是一个具有决策过程中重大不确定性的多准则决策（MCDM）问题，因此选择可持续的供应链供应商具有挑战性。本研究使用 VlseKriterijumska Optimizacija I Kompromisno Resenje（VIKOR）技术和单值 Neutrosophic 集（SVNS）来应对在信息不足的情况下选择可持续供应商的挑战。该方法减少了个人经验和偏好对最终评估结果的影响，以及由于因素相关性引起的个体过度后悔的问题，并提高了评估结果的一致性。最后，通过敏感性分析和附加比较分析证明了该方法的成功和适应性，并检查了所建议框架的优缺点。与其他方法相比，它可以帮助决策者沟通模糊和不确定的信息，在面对这种情况时为 MCDM 提供视角和方法，并帮助他们选择具有可持续商业实践的高素质供应商。
