Supply chain viability, attained by considering sustainability, digitalization, leagility and resilience, has achieved an enhancing importance since the Covid-19 outbreak. This concept has considerably highlighted the significance of strengthening the effectiveness and productivity of supply chains. Several studies have tried to explore supply chain viability. However, studies haven’t much focused on supplier evaluation considering supply chain viability practices in an emerging economy, particularly by proposing a criteria decision framework. To address this issue, this research work proposes a decision framework for investigating supplier evaluation from the perspective of supply chain viability. A combination of Decision-Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL), Fuzzy Best Worst Method (FBWM), Bayesian Network (BN) and Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) is applied as an integrated model in the analysis. The findings can help industrial managers and experts to better understand supply chain viability, particularly when selecting suppliers, and decide where to focus their attention during the implementation stage for improving viability in their supply chain operations and move towards sustainable development.
