In the current literature, supplier selection is an important Multi Attribute Group Decision Making (MAGDM) problem which heavily contributes to the overall supply chain performance. Several solutions for the above problem are proposed. In this paper, TOPSIS and Borda’s function approach, which is one of these methods, is discussed. So that, in the present model, first TOPSIS is used to find the individual preference ordering. Then, Borda’s function is used to find the collective preference orderings. Finally, a simple example is provided in order to demonstrate its applicability and effectiveness of the proposed method.

Abstract


In the current literature, supplier selection is an important Multi Attribute Group Decision Making (MAGDM) problem which heavily contributes to the overall supply chain performance. Several solutions for the above problem are proposed. In this paper, TOPSIS and Borda’s function approach, which is one of these methods, is discussed. So that, in the present model, first TOPSIS is used to find the individual preference ordering. Then, Borda’s function is used to find the collective preference orderings. Finally, a simple example is provided in order to demonstrate its applicability and effectiveness of the proposed method.
