Nowadays, the supply chain has become a buzzword in the business field. Only the supply chain can help to lead a business in an organized way. However, in a supermarket, the supply chain is very important, but it needs to ensure better communication with supplier, customer, and internal management too. Each factor of the supply chain has a good effect on itself. The purpose of this research is to explore the important supermarket supply chain factors found in the literature and from supply chain experts and to develop a framework which can help to arrange the criteria in a sequence from most important to the worst by considering each sector of the supply chain. This paper has studied one of the supermarkets in Bangladesh namely Save ‘n’ Safe. Authors have taken FAHP, one of the tools of MCDM, to figure out the most effective factors. The result reveals that the managing inventory, internal information sharing, and accurate demand forecasting are the most affected factors for the Save ‘n’ Safe (a supermarket). Finally, some recommendations have been given to improve the existing situation. This study can be used not only in the other supermarkets but also in any other retail or grocery shops.

A very effective and strategic factor in the success of transportation projects is the process of selecting an execution system (delivery option). This is the reason why identifying the challenges and selecting an appropriate execution system in transportation projects are quite important; proper selecting will lead to proper progress in the execution of the projects of this sector which is somehow the basis for the country’s development. In this paper, using extensive field studies, the most important affecting factors of the existing main execution systems in Iran, including Design-Bid-Build (DBB), Design-Build (DB) and Construction Management (CM), in road, railway, and freeway projects were determined. Then, using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and the Expert Choice software, the appropriate execution system for each of such projects were identified and grouped
