Abstract

The research introduces a credible decision-support tool for dealing with uncertainty for supplier selection in the aerated concrete industry. The developed framework includes criteria selection, determination of expert and criterion weights, and alternative ranking within a hyperbolic fuzzy environment. Criteria selection is done via the Laplacian score. Expert weights are methodically determined via entropy measure. Criteria are weighted using the LOPCOW and RANCOM methods, and alternatives are ranked using the hyperbolic extension of the DEPART method. The model is employed to solve a circular supplier selection problem in the aerated concrete industry. Comprehensive sensitivity and comparison checks are conducted.
