            Abstract : 
The natural complex and uncertain criteria of social problems can be adequately explored by joining fuzzy with multiple criteria decision making (MCDM). Royes and Bastos (2006) proposed a new methodology based on the manipulation of fuzzy sets which was applied to political forecasting. This method only described in a single expert. This study, therefore, extends to multiple experts based on this method and applies to supplier evaluation.
