Supplier Selection Using Combined Comparing Interval Grey Numbers and Dominance-Based Rough Sets

Abstract:

Supplier selection is a MADM problem. In this paper, a new method to deal with the supplier selection problem is proposed. The work procedure is as follows: firstly, perfects the method of comparing grey numbers with their probability distribution. Secondly, applies the method of multiple attribute decision making based on dominance-base rough sets to the supplier selection problem. Finally, an example of supplier selection problem is used to illustrate the proposed approach.
