TITLE -SUPPLIER SELECTION: FUZZY-AHP APPROACH

The primary objective of the paper is to identify the performance measurement indicator for best supplier and secondly to develop an appropriate Fuzzy-AHP model for evaluating the suppliers. Fuzzy-AHP is an efficient tool to handle the fuzziness of the data involved in deciding the preferences of different decision variables. The linguistic level of comparisons produced by the customers and experts for each comparison are tapped in the form triangular fuzzy numbers to construct fuzzy pair-wise comparison matrices. An elaborate computer program is also included for quick response of the respondents.
