The garment sector is witnessing intense competition due to advances in technology and rapid transformation in fashion
with globalization. In this competitive environment, it is a critical decision problem for garment companies to select the right
suppliers to be able to manufacture products of high quality at low costs. The aim of this study was to select the most suitable fabric
raw material supplier for a garment company operating in the Organized Industrial Zone of the city of Ordu. AHP and TOPSIS, which
are multi-criteria decision making methods, were used. Three employees in charge of purchasing, manufacturing and marketing
activities of the garment company were consulted as decision-makers. The hierarchy based on literature review and expert feedback
had four main criteria (quality, price, delivery and service) and twelve subcriteria. Results showed that the most important main
criterion was “quality” while the most important subcriteria for the four main criteria “quality,” “price,” “delivery” and “service” were
“product quality,” “reasonable price,” “complete delivery” and “warranty,” respectively. The alternatives had the same ranking and
superiority ranks in both AHP and TOPSIS. “Supplier-1” received the highest score, and therefore, was selected as the most suitable
supplier for the garment company.
