A Markovian-based fuzzy decision-making approach for the customer-based sustainable-resilient supplier selection problem.

The supplier selection problem is one of the most important issues in supply chain management. So, many papers have investigated the mentioned problem. However, the related literature shows that researchers had less attention to the sustainability and resilience aspects based on the customer preferences in supplier selection problem.

A goal programming-based fuzzy best-worst method for the viable supplier selection problem: a case study.

Unlabelled: Since the COVID-19 outbreak has led to drastic changes in the business environment, researchers attempt to introduce new approaches to improve the capability and flexibility of the industries. In this regard, recently, the concept of the viable supply chain, which tried to incorporate the leagile, resiliency, sustainability, and digitalization aspects into the post-pandemic supply chain, has been introduced by researchers. However, the literature shows that there is lack of study that investigated the viable supplier selection problem, as one of the crucial branches of viable supply chain management.

Simulation of the COVID-19 patient flow and investigation of the future patient arrival using a time-series prediction model: a real-case study.

COVID-19 looks to be the worst pandemic disease in the last decades due to its number of infected people, deaths, and the staggering demand for healthcare services, especially hospitals. The first and most important step is to identify the patient flow through a certain process. For the second step, there is a crucial need for predicting the future patient arrivals for planning especially at the administrative level of a hospital.
