Abstract
The low-carbon supply chain management is big a challenge for the researchers due to the rapid increase in global warming and environmental concerns. With the advancement of the environmental concerns and social economy, it is an unavoidable choice for a business to achieve sustainable growth for low-carbon supply chain management. Since the root of the chain depends upon the supplier selection and choosing an excellent low-carbon supply. Green supplier selection is one of the most crucial activities in low-carbon supply chain management, it is critical to develop rigorous requirements and a system for selection in low-carbon green supply chain management (LCGSCM). A q-rung orthopair fuzzy number (q-ROFN) is pair of membership degree (MD) and non-membership degrees (NMD) which is reliable to address uncertainties in the various real-life problems. This article sets out a decision analysis approach for interactions between MDs and NMDs with the help of q-ROFNs. For this objective, we develop new aggregation operators (AOs) named as, q-rung orthopair fuzzy interaction weighted averaging (q-ROFIWA) operator, q-rung orthopair fuzzy interaction ordered weighted averaging (q-ROFIOWA) operator, q-rung orthopair fuzzy interaction hybrid averaging (q-ROFIHA) operator, q-rung orthopair fuzzy interaction weighted geometric (q-ROFIWG) operator, q-rung orthopair fuzzy interaction ordered weighted geometric (qROFIOWG) operator and q-rung orthopair fuzzy interaction hybrid geometric (q-ROFIHG) operator. These AOs define an advanced approach for information fusion and modeling uncertainties in multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM). At the end, a robust MCDM approach based on newly developed AOs is developed. Some significant properties of these AOS are analyzed and the efficiency of the developed approach is assessed with a practical application towards sustainable low-carbon green supply chain management.
