【Abstract】The emergence of blockchain technology (BT) has indicated a new era for the supply chain and logistics industries wherein uncertainty significantly affects the establishment of suitable blockchain platforms for logistics firms. Moreover, uncertainty widely occurs in such realistic situations. This study develops a hybrid picture fuzzy information-based framework for assessing and ranking the blockchain platforms in the logistics firm. The experts' significance values are obtained using a distance measure and a rank sum model-based process under the picture fuzzy set (PFS) context. A novel distance measure is offered for PFSs, and its effectiveness over previously developed measures is demonstrated. To estimate the criteria weights, an integrated weighting model is utilized, which is based on the criteria importance through inter-criteria correlation (CRITIC) method for objective weights and the ranking comparison (RANCOM) approach for subjective weights. Moreover, the picture fuzzy compromise ranking of alternatives from distance to ideal solution (CRADIS) approach is utilized to rank the alternatives. To illustrate the superiority and practicality of the model, it is applied to a case study of blockchain platform selection including six alternatives and thirteen criteria to assess and rank the BTs options based on PFSs. The findings demonstrate that "Microsoft (1.0)" emerges as the best choice with the highest compromise measure among a set of six blockchain platforms in the logistics firm. Finally, sensitivity and comparative analyses are conducted to test the robustness and superiority of the developed method.
