      and digitalization criteria: Fuzzy Ordinal Priority Approach.

AB  - The suppliers' performance plays a vital role, with a domino effect, in project 
      success, organizational competitiveness, protecting supply chain and construction 
      industry from disruptions and PESTEL risks (political, economic, social, 
      technological, environmental, and legal). Therefore, measuring the performance of 
      the construction suppliers has become the primary focus of project-oriented 
      organizations and the core of business decision-making, especially during global 
      megatrends. The question that may arise here is, "How can the performance of the 
      construction suppliers be determined under uncertainties considering the 
      post-COVID-19 era?" Organizations need eligible suppliers for the rapid recovery 
      of the supply chain and construction sector at this critical stage. Given the 
      importance of the issue, this study aims to propose a novel approach for 
      measuring the performance of construction suppliers using the fuzzy ordinal 
      priority approach (OPA-F). OPA-F is a recent development in multiple criteria 
      decision-making (MCDM) that can determine the criteria weights for performance 
      measurement using fuzzy linguistic variables. We do not always have access to a 
      complete data set in real-world situations and business environments. 
      Nevertheless, OPA-F can handle this dilemma, even with incomplete input data. 
      This research intends to consider three main aspects of the construction 
      suppliers, known as (L-A-D) capabilities, including localization, agility, and 
      digitalization. In this regard, we bring up a case study from the construction 
      industry to demonstrate the application of the proposed framework. The findings 
      show that the most critical criterion is "digitalization" for the case study. 
      This criterion covers "supply chain automation" and "virtualization and 
      dematerialization" of services/products. The proposed approach is practical and 
      straightforward, particularly for academicians and decision-makers; it can also 
      incorporate uncertainties.
