Decision Support System for Industrial Social Performance

Sustainability is an interdisciplinary concept that involves social, economic, and environmental issues. Recently, most researches focus on economical and environmental aspect. In this research, the social impact of the industries will be integrated with the economic and environmental aspects to measure the overall performance of the industries. A mathematical model called value contribution will be developed to measure the social performance of the industries, with the consideration of environmental and economic dimensions. The model will be implemented on the stone and marble industry in Palestine as an example. As a result, the industries can be evaluated based on their high positive performance. The decision makers can use the result of this study and similar ones as an evaluation tool to support the industries with the highest overall performance.
