Abstract

Nowadays, fierce competition enforces supply chain planners to develop market-oriented production strategies. Customer order decoupling point (CODP) could increase the supply chain efficiency and responsiveness simultaneously. The right position of CODP in production industries will result in a pattern for trade-off between responsiveness and operational efficiency. The purpose of this paper is to address the positioning problem of a push-pull boundary in a fuzzy hesitant environment. To this end, a hybrid multi-criteria decision-making methodology of analytic network process (ANP) and VIKOR is proposed in a hesitant judgement environment to determine the position of CODP in a supply chain. Finally, CODP positioning in the apparel supply chain, as an industry-based example, is analysed to show the applicability of the proposed method.
