Neutrosophic Analysis of Supply Chain Resilience

Abstract

The objective of this research is to extend the TOPSIS method by including single-valued neutrosophic sets to evaluate the vulnerabilities present in the supply chain of a footwear manufacturing company in the city of Ambato. To achieve this goal, principles of neutrosophic logic and the theory of single-valued neutrosophic sets were used. As a result of the application of this methodology, it was found that the most serious weaknesses identified were insufficient investment in technology and innovation, followed closely by the presence of obsolete and deficient communication systems. This study has provided solid evidence of the effectiveness and versatility of the method in a variety of scientific contexts and fields. The use of single-valued neutrosophic numbers as a resource for carrying out the analysis has confirmed the concrete applicability of neutrosophic set logic in practical situations.
