Abstract :
One of the important decisions which impacts all firms’ activities is
the supplier selection problem. Since the 1950s, several works have
addressed this problem by treating different aspects and instances. In
this paper, a combined multiple criteria decision making (MCDM)
technique (EA-PROMETHEE) has been applied to implement a
proper decision making. To this aim, after reviewing the theoretical
background regarding to supplier selection, the extension analysis
(EA) is used to determine the importance of criteria and
PROMETHEE for appraisal of suppliers based on the criteria. An empirical
example illustrated the proposed approach.
