TL;DR: In this article, the authors review and analyze the evolution of supply chain strategies from the traditional push-to-pull and finally to the hybrid push-pull approach, and introduce new opportunities that contribute and support this supply chain paradigm.
Abstract: Internet technology has forced companies to redefine their business models so as to improve the extended enterprise performance this is popularly called e-business. The focus has been on improving the extended enterprise transactions including Intraorganizational, Business-to-Consumer (B2C) and Business-to-Business (B2B) transactions. This shift in corporate focus allowed a number of companies to employ a hybrid approach, the Push-Pull supply chain paradigm. In this article we review and analyze the evolution of supply chain strategies from the traditional Push to Pull and finally to the hybrid Push-Pull approach. The analysis motivates the development of a framework that allows companies to identify the appropriate supply chain strategy depending on product characteristics. Finally, we introduce new opportunities that contribute and support this supply chain paradigm.

TL;DR: In this study, TOPSIS method combined with intuitionistic fuzzy set is proposed to select appropriate supplier in group decision making environment and Intuitionistic fuzzy weighted averaging (IFWA) operator is utilized to aggregate individual opinions of decision makers for rating the importance of criteria and alternatives.
Abstract: Supplier selection, the process of finding the right suppliers who are able to provide the buyer with the right quality products and/or services at the right price, at the right time and in the right quantities, is one of the most critical activities for establishing an effective supply chain. On the other hand, it is a hard problem since supplier selection is typically a multi criteria group decision-making problem involving several conflicting criteria on which decision maker's knowledge is usually vague and imprecise. In this study, TOPSIS method combined with intuitionistic fuzzy set is proposed to select appropriate supplier in group decision making environment. Intuitionistic fuzzy weighted averaging (IFWA) operator is utilized to aggregate individual opinions of decision makers for rating the importance of criteria and alternatives. Finally, a numerical example for supplier selection is given to illustrate application of intuitionistic fuzzy TOPSIS method.
