Navigating Circular Supply Chains: Optimizing Performance Measurement Through Fuzzy Methods and Quality Techniques

This book focuses on four key issues that are crucial to achieving productivity and sustainability in the circular supply chain management industry. These key topics are the elements of circular supply chain management, statistical techniques such as the design of experiments and statistical process control, well-known fuzzy techniques in the performance measurement analysis of circular supply chains, and the indicators of managing productivity and sustainability before and after implementing the model. Presenting a creative combination of fuzzy and statistical techniques on performance measurement in circular supply chain management, this book would be of interest to experts and technical managers who are responsible for implementing productivity and sustainability models within the organization as well as academics.
