Abstract
Advances in information and communication technology have created innovator technologies such as cloud computing, Internet of Things, big data analysis and artificial intelligence. These technologies have penetrated production systems and converted them smart. However, this transformation did not only affect production systems, but also differentiated supplier selection processes. In the supplier selection process, the usage of new technologies along with traditional and green criteria extensively has been investigated in recent years. This paper aims to develop a new group decision-making approach based on Industry 4.0 components for selecting the best green supplier by integrating AHP and TOPSIS methods under the Pythagorean fuzzy environment. In the proposed approach, judgments of different experts are expressed by linguistic terms based on Pythagorean fuzzy numbers. The interval-valued Pythagorean Fuzzy AHP method is utilized to determine the criteria weights. The Pythagorean Fuzzy TOPSIS method based on the distances of suppliers is applied to obtain the ranking of the suppliers and determine the most suitable one. Finally, a real case study on an agricultural tools and machinery company is presented to indicate the effectiveness and accuracy of the proposed selection approach.
