Abstract

Knowledge management (KM) adoption in the supply chain network needs a good investment as well as few changes in the culture of the entire SC. Knowledge management is the process of creating, distributing and transferring information. The goal of this study is to Rank KM criteria in supply chain network in Iran which is important for firms these days. Criterion used in this paper were extracted from the literature review and were confirmed by supply chain experts. The proposed approach for ranking and finding out about these criterion is hybrid fuzzy DEMATEL-TODIM, with using fuzzy number as data for our studies we could avoid uncertainty. The data was gathered from PhD. And Ms. Students in industrial engineering of Kharrazmi university of Tehran and PhD. And Ms. Students of the management department of Semnan university. A new hybrid approach was used for achieving the results of this study. This new hybrid approach ranks data criteria respect to each other, then by using TODIM for ranking respect to the best situation (gains), the rates of criterion were determined which is a very important advantage.

Highlights

Knowledge management (KM) is a field of study that has attracted the attention of many of researchers in last years
KM is recognized as an important source of competitive advantage and there has been increasing academic and practitioner interest in understanding and isolating the factors that contribute to effective knowledge transfer between Supply Chain (SC) actors
The method used to find out the weights of the KM criteria in supply chain management has introduced earlier and has been used in this paper is declared in the following

Summary

Introduction

Knowledge management (KM) is a field of study that has attracted the attention of many of researchers in last years. Chain management has received a great deal of attention by practitioners and academics in recent years. KM is recognized as an important source of competitive advantage and there has been increasing academic and practitioner interest in understanding and isolating the factors that contribute to effective knowledge transfer between Supply Chain (SC) actors. The KM adoption in SC, makes the environment collaborative that enables the chain to be more adaptive and responsive.
