    (Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2023) Vadivel, S.M.; Pranamya, B.; Arivazhagan, P.; Sequeira, A.H.; Chandana, V.
    To survive in the market, it is imperative that the public postal service facilities adopt sustainable principles. This paper objective is to analyze the sustainability validation through VIšekriterijumsko KOmpromisno Rangiranje (VIKOR) method to assess the three India post service operations such as NSH Mangalore, NSH Mysuru and RMS Chennai. Finding consumer variables (questions) that influence the Service Quality (SQ) design/dimensions of postal service in three areas, such as design (4 attributes such as service innovation, comfortable working layout, green construction, product innovation), sustainability (5 attributes – energy efficiency, indoor environmental quality, workplace environment, green purchasing, effective utilization of water resource), and authority, aims to encourage sustainability aspects (4 attributes-technology adoption, standardization, strict reinforcement, periodic quality assurance check). This survey will be useful in determining how India Post can continue to be strategically viable for the foreseeable future. It offers its customers nationwide logistical services through a wide-ranging network. This study enhances the Southern region of India's postal service quality design. © 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.

    Apartment Waste Disposal Sustainable Facility Location Using ENTROPY Method
    (Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2023) Vadivel, S.M.; Palanivelu, S.; Sequeira, A.H.; Chandana, V.
    Global organizations are concerned about sustainability. The Triple Bottom Line (TBL) strategy, which focuses on the environment, society, and economy, has been extensively discussed in the literature to address sustainability. Apartment garbage is inherently dangerous and contagious for the environment and society, making its appropriate disposal a crucial duty for waste management companies. Therefore, in the current study, the criteria connected to the sustainability’s TBL, including other criteria, have been discovered via literature analysis and field survey for the placement of urban apartment waste disposal facility in order to make it sustainable and economical. Additionally, ENTROPY was employed to conduct this study. As a result, the current work contributes theoretically, in terms of criteria, as well as methodologically, to the choice of a location for a waste disposal plant that is sustainable. © 2023, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
