This work presents a decision model that highlights the integration of manufacturing strategy and sustainability with strategic responses as a significant component. Due to the complexity and uncertainty of the decision components and elements derived from literature, a proposed hybrid MCDM approach in the form of an integrated probabilistic fuzzy analytic network process (PROFUZANP) is presented. In the proposed method, analytic network process (ANP) handles complexity of the decision model. Fuzzy set theory is used to describe vagueness in decision-making which is carried out by eliciting judgment in pairwise comparisons using linguistic variables with corresponding triangular fuzzy numbers (TFNs). Probability theory is used to handle randomness when aggregating experts' judgments. Results are reported in this paper. Insights were also discussed. © 2014 IEEE.
