Abstract

The Additive Manufacturing (AM) industry is of paramount importance as means of personalized design capabilities by rapid prototyping, using exact amount of required materials avoiding waste, and applying Industry 4.0 technologies with digital transformation ability. The characteristics of AM are regarded as the prerequisites for sustainability in the manufacturing industry. However, there are limited papers discussing the stakeholders and sustainability objectives in a single comprehensive analysis. Hence, the purpose of this research is to identify the degree of each stakeholder to achieve the objective of sustainability in AM supply chain by proposing a novel Plithogenic Fuzzy MACTOR approach. Results reveal that the customers are in triggering position to shape entire AM supply chain as the demand generators. Workforce is a significant player in the AM supply chain by creating the design, manufacturing, marketing, and communicating to provide the collaborations in this business segment. Academia positions here a supportive role to enable the whole supply chain members in terms of delivering technological advancements, training people, and providing the workforce. The AM manufacturers and material / software / printer suppliers are the key players leading to the supply chain by producing the main business products. Thus, a practitioner can interpret its position in the AM supply chain and understand the requirements of sustainability points in detail. Besides, this study provides a theoretical contribution to the literature by extending the MACTOR analysis with Plithogenic sets via including a different uncertainty measure.

通过多利益相关者分析实现可持续的增材制造供应链：通过数字化转型减少废物

快速成型制造（AM）工业作为通过快速原型设计实现个性化设计能力、使用精确数量的所需材料避免浪费以及应用具有数字化转型能力的工业 4.0 技术的手段，具有极其重要的意义。AM 的特性被视为制造业可持续发展的先决条件。然而，通过单一的综合分析来讨论利益相关者和可持续发展目标的论文却非常有限。因此，本研究的目的是通过提出一种新颖的 Plithogenic Fuzzy MACTOR 方法，确定各利益相关者对实现 AM 供应链可持续发展目标的影响程度。研究结果表明，客户作为需求产生者，对整个 AM 供应链的形成具有触发作用。劳动力在 AM 供应链中扮演着重要角色，他们创造设计、制造、营销和交流，为这一业务领域提供合作。学术界在提供技术进步、培训人员和提供劳动力方面发挥着支持整个供应链成员的作用。AM 制造商和材料/软件/打印机供应商是供应链的主要参与者，生产主要的商业产品。因此，从业人员可以解释其在 AM 供应链中的位置，并详细了解可持续性要点的要求。此外，本研究还通过加入不同的不确定性度量，将 MACTOR 分析与 Plithogenic 集进行了扩展，从而为相关文献做出了理论贡献。
