Designing a hybrid sourcing model in the supply chain by using ANP, VIKOR and multi-objective model in fuzzy environment of The Case: Alborz Cable Company

Abstract

Supplier selection and quota allocation is an important decision in supplychains. This decision can be considered as a complex multi-criteria groupdecision making problem. This decision in many practical situations is verydifficult for vague and uncertain environment. This vagueness and uncertaintycan be handled by using fuzzy set theory. Therefore, this paper proposed afuzzy MCDM model to evaluate candidate suppliers and quota allocation. Ahybrid ANP-VIKOR method in fuzzy environment applied first with 16criteria to evaluate suppliers. Then, a fuzzy multi-objective mathematicalmodel is used to quota allocation. Finally, the fuzzy model is solved by Tiwarimethod. An illustration with a data set from a realistic situation is presented todemonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed model.
