Sustainable Food Supply Chain Management Implementation Using DEMATEL Approach

  • Conference paper
  • First Online:

Abstract

The importance of sustainable food supply chain management is to overcome the wastage in food manufacturing industries. It benefits the industries to minimize the stress demand of food. The aim of current work is to assess success factors related to the successful implementation of sustainable food supply chain management. On the basis of the literature survey, ten success factors were identified and analyzed with the help of decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL) approach. DEMATEL technique is useful for the interrelation of success factors among them and then divides it into cause and effect for the further investigation. According to the present research, food quality and safety was attributed the highest importance among other success factors for the successful adoption of sustainable food supply chain management initiatives. Present work helps managers and higher authorities in the industries for devising long-term decision policies in effective managing sustainable food supply chain management implementation.
