Sustainability in Supply Chain Through E-Procurement—An Assessment Framework Based on DANP and Liberatore Score
Abstract
Sustainable procurement aims at integrating specifications and criteria in the purchasing process in favor of environment protection while ensuring resource efficiency, improvement in product or service quality, and cost minimization. Although e-procurement is originally adopted by the companies for cost and cycle time reduction, more recently, it has been also used as a tool to attain sustainable procurement. However, not much effort has been made so far to explicitly identify the factors that portray e-procurement as a tool for sustainable procurement and assess the level of sustainability after adoption of necessary practices. We have identified 26 driving factors based on the review of literature and analyze six major dimensions that help in managing sustainable purchasing programs through the use of information and communication technologies. To handle the interdependence among the criteria, we develop an assessment framework using a hybrid model that combines two multicriteria decision making techniques, namely, Decision Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory based analytic network process and Liberatore score. The effectiveness of the proposed model is demonstrated with a real-life case study.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
