This study further investigates factors contributing the operation accuracy, sensitivity and specificity amongst doctors. Also, the effective performance of doctors can be optimized through earlier prediction for percentage of incorporating Industry 4.0 technologies. Survey was conducted amongst doctors using industry 4.0 technologies who provided unbiased answers to several queries in the questionnaire. The ANFIS model was employed to predict success rate of surgeries through models build with the aid of several input parameters. The outcomes such as accuracy, sensitivity and specificity were studied while employing Industry 4.0 technology which were considered significant factors influencing the perceived various kinds of surgeries in different domains. Moreover, the results of the ANFIS modelling approach showed that with increase in percentage of industry 4.0 machines in medical equipment, the operations sensitivity and accuracy increased, hence the most critical predictors. While specificity did not have any major impact on the surgeries. Henceforth, doctors can take preventive actions and simultaneously plan their work load with the aid of industry 4.0, providing better health benefits to patients making the healthcare industry much more efficient and stress-free.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":101201,"journal":{"name":"Sustainable Operations and Computers","volume":"3 ","pages":"Pages 286-295"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2666412722000150/pdfft?md5=5095dde114f121e996ec3c9e035c2ac0&pid=1-s2.0-S2666412722000150-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91529222","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We propose an integrated and comprehensive fuzzy multicriteria model for supplier selection in DSCs. The proposed model integrates the fuzzy best-worst method (BWM) with the fuzzy multi-objective optimization based on ratio analysis plus full multiplicative form (MULTIMOORA), fuzzy complex proportional assessment of alternatives (COPRAS), and fuzzy technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS). The fuzzy BWM approach is used to measure the importance weights of the digital criteria. The fuzzy MULTIMOORA, fuzzy COPRAS, and fuzzy TOPSIS methods are used as prioritization methods to rank the suppliers. The maximize agreement heuristic (MAH) is used to aggregate the supplier rankings obtained from the prioritization methods into a consensus ranking.

It is affecting the human population both in terms of health issues and food safety concerns. Most of the countries are struggling to save their economies during the lock-down conditions. The fight against the COVID-19 is very tough; either one can save the economy or save his country's human population. It seems COVID-19 have all the negative impact across the world. However, there is also some positive impact of this pandemic, where we observe much reduced environmental pollution. There has been significant improvement in the air quality at almost all the places where lock-down is implemented. Air pollution directly affects our health and hence the quality of life. In India, air quality has improved much beyond our expectations during the lock-down. This paper studies the positive impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on air pollution in major Indian cities. In the air quality rating, the paper considers types of air pollutants like Particulate Matters and Gaseous Components as benchmarks. Authors have also used available literature to study the ongoing pollution measurements, impact, and change over time. The study analysed available air quality data of four metros, i.e., Delhi, Kolkata, Mumbai, and Chennai, over the four months (National Lockdown). Two particulate matters (PM-2.5 and PM-10) pollution levels are compared with last year's values to identify the significant variations. Moreover, Gaseous components are used to analyse their impact on the country's human health and food ecosystem.

These objectives are subjected to some realistic constraints concerning customers’ demand, supplier's capacity, flexibility, allocated budget and accepted amount of carbon footprint. Some parameters in the proposed model are considered to be uncertain values. The proposed multi-objective supplier selection problem with uncertain parameter is solved using fuzzy concept based goal programming approach. The main focus of the proposed model is to deal with human subjectivity by applying the linguistic preference-based method and analyzed the operational effects of supplier selection in terms of environmental efficiency.
