Analysis of Supply Chain Anti-fragility in the Textile Industry Using the Best-Worst Method and CoCoSo

The economic conditions prevailing in the country, sanctions, rapid changes and transformations of the markets, and the complexity and disorder of the market environment, have made it necessary to pay attention to the anti-fragility approach in the industries. One of the most interesting industries is the textile industry. Hence, due to the strategic nature and having a large domestic consumption market, the textile industry must be anti-fragile in order to quickly adapt to new conditions and maintain and improve its competitive value in a safe and stable condition. This research was conducted with a review of the literature in order to achieve the anti-fragility of textile industries throughout the supply chain. We identified the anti-fragility components and weighed them using the best-worst method. Then, we reviewed the literature on the textile industry and interview the experts in this industry, to identify and evaluate the fragility factors. By using the CoCoSo method the most important factors that disrupt anti-fragility were ranked. Finally, the results of the research showed that the components: unexpectedness, Adequate supervisors, and Attraction are the most important components. Also, the results obtained from the CoCoSo method showed that the of ''Lack of investment in the (clothing) industry", "Saturation of the market with counterfeit brands due to the structural weakness of the distribution and smuggling network", and "Undeveloped distribution network" are the most important in the supply chain of the textile industry.
