Abstract :
Partner selection is an important step of the supply chain companies. To deal with the coexistence of the real number attribute and the interval attribute, this work puts forward a method synthesizing the comentropy-based and the TOPSIS-based multi-attribute decisions method. The enterprise can apply this synthesized method in selecting the partner and supporting the decision. Finally, this work uses an example to illustrate how enterprise to select the partners when the real number attribute and the interval attribute coexist in the partner selection.
