AN APPLICATION ON THE MOST SUITABLE SUPPLIER SELECTION WITH FUZZY TOPSIS AND FUZZY VIKOR METHODS

Abstract

In today's increasing competitive situations companies need dynamic strategies to survive. Strategic relations with suppliers are undoubtedly at the top of these strategies. Any problems that may occur with the suppliers will cause serious difficulties during the production process of the company. Therefore, companies should determine their suppliers in the best way and establish long-term relationships. In this study, an application was conducted on supplier selection in a food company considering multiple criteria decision-making methodology. To achieve this aim, five different suppliers were determined by the purchasing department managers and they were evaluated concerning five different criteria. Fuzzy TOPSIS methodology was proposed to decide the best supplier. The problem is solved by fuzzy TOPSIS methodology. Finally, the same problem is also solved by using fuzzy VIKOR methodology to compare results.
