DYNAMIC VENDOR SELECTION: A FUZZY AHP APPROACH

Abstract
In the ever-changing business world, appropriate vendor selection can be crucial in supply chain management. Dynamic models supporting vendors over time are not always crisp; rather they involve a high degree of fuzziness and uncertainty in real life situations. This paper proposes a dynamic model with uncertainty based on Fuzzy AHP for long-term strategic vendor selection problems. The selection of partnership suppliers is illustrated by this methodology.
