With growing customer awareness of safety and health, private-label sustainable supplier selection has become a strategic issue for many retailers. Although there are many studies on supplier selection issues and evaluation methods, studies on the sustainability and consumption sectors are rather limited. Therefore, a novel three-phase MCDM model for private-label supplier selection compliance with sustainability criteria is proposed. First, the Delphi method is used to construct a criteria system based on a detailed literature review. Then, an integrated weight algorithm is suggested, in which objective weights are based on attributes\u2019 entropy measurements, and subjective weights are derived from decision-makers\u2019 preferences. Eventually, during evaluation, a fuzzy set extended in VIKOR is exploited by considering the vagueness of decision makers\u2019 expressions. The results from a case study then show that green packaging and labelling, relationship with manufacturing brand, order flexibility, and product traceability are the most important criteria in retail private-label supplier selection. The flexibility and reliability of the proposed model are also demonstrated in a practical case of supplier evaluation.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1007\/s40747-021-00317-w","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,3,17]],"date-time":"2021-03-17T18:02:53Z","timestamp":1616004173000},"page":"2361-2378","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":25,"title":["Private-label sustainable supplier selection using a fuzzy entropy-VIKOR-based approach"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"9","author":[{"given":"Jun","family":"Zhang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Linze","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Jing","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Liping","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]},{"given":"Guojiao","family":"Chen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,3,17]]},"reference":[{"key":"317_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"3516","DOI":"10.1016\/j.cor.2006.01.016","volume":"34","author":"N Aissaoui","year":"2007","unstructured":"Aissaoui N, Haouari M, Hassini E (2007) Supplier selection and order lot sizing modeling: a review.
