Abstract

Food Corporation of India (FCI) and Comptroller and Auditor General of India (CAG) clearly mentioned in their reports that transportation is a critical issue nowadays in Indian dairy industries. Increased population in India forced the companies to add sustainability in their food processing and manufacturing to meet the increasing demands. Thus, sustainable food supply chain management (SFSCM) helps to reduce the wastage of food throughout the food supply chain. For successful implementation of SFSCM, the present work is mainly focused on challenges in transportation. The challenges were analyzed by new method, i.e., best worst method (BWM). This method is generally used for solving (MCDM) multi-criteria decision-making problems. In MCDM problem, the best alternative is selected by comparing number of alternatives with respect to selected criteria. In BWM, the policy maker identifies the best (very important) and the worst (less important) criteria. Eight challenges were identified from the literature review and experts’ opinion. The important factors of the BWM method include less comparison data and more reliable comparisons.
