The Use of Interval Type-2 Fuzzy TOPSIS in Supplier Selection

Abstract:

Supplier selection is one of the most important activities in supply chain management. However, the method of selecting appropriate supplier is not straightforward as it involves number of potential suppliers with diverse criteria. This paper aims to select the best supplier using interval type-2 fuzzy Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (IT2FTOPSIS) method. The method is used to a case study of computer components supplier selection. Of the four candidate suppliers, it is found that the supplier S3 is the best candidate. It indicates that the IT2FTOPSIS method offers a feasible solution to supplier selection problem.
