Abstract Purpose In this study, an integrated decision-making model consisting of\n decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL), best worst\n method (BWM) and a modified version of evaluation based on distance from\n average solution (EDAS) methods is proposed for supplier selection\n problem in a public procurement system considering sustainable\n development goals. Design/methodology/approach DEMATEL and BWM methods\n are used to determine weights of the criteria that are defined for the\n supplier selection problem. Weight aggregation method is applied to\n combine the weights obtained from these two methods. A modified version\n of EDAS method is then used in order to rank the alternative suppliers.\n Findings The proposed decision-making model is investigated for a\n supplier selection problem for a hospital in Spain. The validity of the\n results is checked using comparison with other decision-making methods\n and several performance analysis tests. Practical implications The\n proposed multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) model contributes to the\n healthcare supply chain management (SCM) and aims to lead the policy\n makers in selecting the best supplier. Originality/value There is no\n such study that combines DEMATEL and BWM together for weight generation.\n The application of the modified EDAS method is also new. In real time\n situations, the decision experts may confront to the difficulty of using\n BWM while identifying the best and the worst criteria choices. The idea\n of using DEMATEL is to aid the experts to make them enable in\n distinguishing between the best/worst criteria and handle BWM easily.
