A fuzzy AHP based evaluation method for vendor-selection

Vendor selection is a multi-criteria problem iCich embodies the subjective evaluation of decision-makers, has been widely used to ascertain the weights of rules for vendor selecting. The fuzziness in human evaluation inevitax random, unclear and fuzzy factors in vendor selection, this paper presents a new general evaluating method based on the method of AHP and fuzzy math.
