In this regard, a bi-level decision-making system is designed using multi-attribute decision-making (MADM) and multi-objective decision-making (MODM) models, respectively. In the MADM section, a hybrid method called BWM-WASPAS-Neutrosophic based on bestworst method (BWM) and weighted aggregated sum-product assessment (WASPAS) under type-2 neutrosophic number (T2NN) is utilized to investigate resilient supplier selection. To design the MODM section, a multiobjective mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) model is suggested which is then treated with the help of weighted goal programming (WGP) method. The multi-objective model honors sustainable development goals as it aims not only to minimize total cost and maximize weighted purchasing from suppliers, but also to minimize negative environmental impacts simultaneously. Robust optimization (RO) technique is then implemented to the MODM model to address the demand uncertainty. In order to validate the suggested methodology, a real case study from the literature is examined. The obtained results reveal the efficiency of our decision-making system in finding the optimal policy in less than 1 s where sensitivity analyses also contribute to practical managerial implications. Finally, it is revealed that the total weighted purchase from suppliers has the highest sensitivity to the conservatism levels, which determine the extent to which our uncertain demand parameter can deviate from its nominal value.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessSustainable Aggregate Production PlanningResilient Supplier SelectionWorkforce ProductivityBi-Level Decision -Making SystemBwm-Waspas-NeutrosophicRobust OptimizationArticle228WOS:0009991216000012-s2.0-85159280239N/A10.1016/j.eswa.2023.120476Q1
