In recent years, many researchers have been focused on sustainability in supplier selection field. Resiliency became another popular term in conjunction with Covid-19 pandemic in this area. Sustainable and resilient suppliers are crucial for longevity of supply chains and decision makers should avoid inadequate suppliers. However, the literature is scarce in which resiliency and sustainability are handled together. The main purpose of this study is to expand the sustainable supplier selection problem with resiliency and to use a novel Multi Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) methodology. This hybrid framework consists of MEthod based on the Removal Effects of Criteria (MEREC) and Multi Attributive Ideal-Real Comparative Analysis (MAIRCA). Results are consisted with Full Consistency Method (FUCOM) based MAIRCA method. While information disclosure, green production and flexibility are the most important criteria before including resiliency dimension, visibility, information disclosure, and agility criteria became the most important ones after inclusion. Supplier 5 was found as the best alternative in all frameworks (FUCOM-MAIRCA, MEREC-MAIRCA, MEREC-MAIRCA-R, and Entropy-TOPSIS) except Entropy-TOPSIS-R. To the best of authors’ knowledge, MEREC is used for the first time in a case study and supplier selection problem. In addition, this is the first attempt combining MEREC with an MCDM method. This methodology contributes to achieve Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), especially SDG 3 (good health and wellbeing), SDG7 (affordable and clean energy), SDG12 (responsible production and consumption), and SDG17 (partnership for the goals) with taking into account criteria related to sustainability dimensions.
