Abstract :
This paper presents a fuzzy Choquet integral approach which is used to evaluate the capability of supplier and then to deal with the supplier selection problem. Firstly, the basic of fuzzy measures and Choquet integral are introduced. Secondly, linguistic terms expressed in trapezoidal fuzzy numbers are used to assess the ratings for the suppliers´ quality and the importance of criteria. Then, an evaluation model based on the fuzzy measure and Choquet integral theory is proposed, and we give the detailed procedure with an example. This paper shows that the proposed model is very well suited as an evaluation tool for supplier selection decisions.
