Analysis of the LARG of the hospital medical equipment supply chain using the fuzzy inference system

International Journal of Research in Industrial Engineering
The Lean, Agile, Resilience, and Green (LARG) supply chains are more competitive than conventional ones. Evaluating its performance under current conditions and developing suitable strategies is crucial to enhance LARG. This study aims to create an assessment model for LARG in Iran's hospital medical equipment supply chain, especially in Hamadan.
