To be competitive in the current digital business environment, well-equipped supply chain integration strategies are essential. For these systems, the supply chain integration variables affect many aspects of the supply chain system and the manufacturing process as well. But there is a lack of research in the literature to evaluate and investigate the levels of influence variables that impact on supply chain integration. The purpose of this paper is to investigate and evaluate the influence variables that impact the performance and effectiveness of supply chain integrations on the firms. Thus, both fuzzy AHP and fuzzy TOPSIS approaches are proposed in determining the relative importance (weight) of criteria and then ranking of driving factors. Then through evaluating and ranking the decision-making criteria, the system most influencing variables on supply chain integration is determined. Subsequently, the ranking & evaluation results are presented and comparative analysis on fuzzy AHP and fuzzy TOPSIS tools are applied. This evaluation and prioritization of driving variables are provided to contribute to the future model development and make an action to supply chain integrations process improvements
