Abstract

In sustainable supplier selection, social, environmental, and economic factors are all taken into account at the same time. This makes the decision-making process more difficult. A number of strategies have been created to deal with this process, some of which include MCDM approaches. With 486 research articles reviewed in this work, we present an overview of bibliometric analysis and a literature survey of these methods that have been created over the past three decades. Our research helps to identify the most commonly used MCDM techniques and their applications. This paper will help the researchers at the initial level to have an overall view of MCDM methods and their bibliometric review in sustainable supplier selection.
