Abstract

This study introduces a process for selecting potential locations that not only supports better decisions by balancing multiple criteria such as economic, social, and environmental factors but also clarifies the relationships among these criteria and highlights the most influential ones. The objective is to help decision-makers accurately and comprehensively identify key criteria, understand their interrelationships, and quickly determine the best location choices. An integration of two techniques, including the Decision-Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL) and Grey Relational Analysis (GRA), is proposed. Particularly, DEMATEL is used to determine attributes’ weights and relationships. GRA supports decision-makers in choosing the best option. A case study, a re-collection center in 13 provinces in the South of Vietnam, under consideration of 15 criteria formed from three pillars of the sustainable supply chain, is to describe the proposed process. Data were gathered from interviews with nine experts and specialized departments, including the General Statistics Office of Vietnam, the People’s Committee of Can Tho City, the Department of Labor, Invalids and Social Affairs, and the Department of Planning and Investment. The results show that the local and government policy criteria have the highest weight, and Ben Tre province is the best location. These contribute to selecting optimal facilities with complex criteria quickly and effectively for other developing countries and promoting bioenergy production, such as in Vietnam.
优化越南不断发展的生物能源产业的生物质再收集中心位置:一个综合的dematel和gra方法
本研究介绍了一个选择潜在地点的过程,该过程不仅通过平衡经济、社会和环境因素等多种标准来支持更好的决策,而且还澄清了这些标准之间的关系,并突出了最具影响力的标准。目标是帮助决策者准确、全面地识别关键标准,了解它们之间的相互关系,并快速确定最佳的选址选择。提出了决策试验与评价实验室(DEMATEL)和灰色关联分析(GRA)两种技术的融合。特别是,DEMATEL用于确定属性的权重和关系。GRA支持决策者选择最佳方案。一个案例研究是在越南南部13个省的一个回收中心,根据可持续供应链的三大支柱形成的15个标准进行考虑,以描述拟议的过程。数据来自对9位专家和专门部门的采访,包括越南总统计局、芹苴市人民委员会、劳动、荣军部和社会事务部以及规划和投资部。结果表明,地方和政府政策标准的权重最高,本特省是最佳选址。这些有助于快速有效地为其他发展中国家选择具有复杂标准的最佳设施,并促进越南等国的生物能源生产。
