| dc.description.abstract | Over the past few years, milk and dairy products have significantly contributed
to the development of Vietnamese children. In addition, the projection of total dairy
products volume will increase considerably in the following years, meaning the
comsumption of Vietnamese children for dairy products is extremely high. Therefore,
there is a need for a strong and sustainable supply chain network to ensure the future
projected demand. Central distribution center (CDC) plays an important role in
distributing goods to different locations and the optimal CDC should be selected to
achieve the optimal supply chain network. This study aims to select the approriate CDC
for dairy companies and design the general distribution network by combining the multi criteria decision-making method (MCDM) and Multi-objective decision-making
method (MODM). The fuzzy DEMATEL in MCDM is first utilized to collect the critical
success factors (CSFs) among different factors, then fuzzy AHP is applied to identify
CSFs weight and the alternative selection is conducted by fuzzy TOPSIS method. The
selected CDC then becomes an input of MODM model to adapt new supply network
design. The findings of this research propose a recommendation for one dairy company
whose case is analysed in detail. | en_US |
