Abstract

In today’s competitive manufacturing and service industries decision making is a critical process. Supply chain management is a network of businesses and in this network there are several critical decision making problems. One of them is supplier selection decision. Supplier selection is a multi-criteria decision making problem and a fuzzy decision making model is proposed to this problem area in supply chain management. The extent analysis method and integral value calculation is used in the study for computing the priority weights of criteria and alternatives. In addition, a case study is added to the study.

Keywords
