ABSTRACT

Sustainable supply chain management has received great concern academics’ and practitioners’ interest in recent years. Baijiu industry plays an important part in Chinese economy and has a great influence on people’s life. In this paper, sustainable index based on economic, environmental, and social are identified from supply chain perspective. A hybrid multi-criteria decision making framework is used to assess the index, and the method is applied to a case example at a Baijiu company in China.  The case example finds that economic dimension was the most important aspect with environmental second and social third. The results also verify the effectiveness of the proposed framework. This paper develops an effective and systematic approach for decision makers to conduct evaluations and select optimal alternatives for Baijiu companies.
