Abstract

In this paper, we assess sustainability of supply chains by data envelopment analysis (DEA). DEA is a popular and beneficial method to assess efficiency of decision making units (DMUs). We introduce a network dynamic DEA model to assess sustainability of supply chains in multiple periods. Furthermore, we introduce an inverse network DEA model in dynamic context. Given results of case study, sustainable supply chains invest on triple bottom-lines of sustainability.
