The Application of Fuzzy Theory and Gray-Based Rough Set Theory in the Supplier Selection Decision Making

Article Preview

Abstract:

This work presents the combination of fuzzy theory and rough set theory to solve facility location selection problems under the condition of involving different objective/subjective attributes. We try to utilize individual merits for each method and combine it to form a reliable selection of alternative suppliers. An empirical example is illustrated to show the effectiveness of the integrated method. Our results showed that the integrated method can allow decision makers to get the best candidate of supplier location, and is recommended in the practice therefore.
