Suppliers are critical component to an organization that can greatly affect the performance of the organization and its product. Through these various effects, a revision is essential in supplier selection strategies. In this paper, a framework for supplier selection criteria in "LARG" (Lean, Agile, Resilient and Green) supply chain based on a literature review is proposed. A fuzzy method is used to evaluate suppliers, based on the determined criteria and calculate the weight of them. To our knowledge, this is the first effort to present a comprehensive framework for supplier selection criteria in "LARG" supply chain. In order to validate and demonstrate the applicability of the framework, a numerical example is presented. The result shows the framework is applicable to organizations and manufacturing institutions as well as their supply chains.
