Supplier selection is a complex multi-criteria problem including both quantitative and qualitative factors. In order to select the best suppliers it is necessary to make a trade-off between these factors, some of which may be in conflict and may also be uncertain. In this problem if suppliers have capacity or other different constraints, two problems will exist: which suppliers are best and how much should be purchased from each selected supplier. In this paper an integrated approach of multi-attribute utility theory (MAUT) and linear programming (LP) is proposed for rating and choosing the best suppliers and de. ning the optimum order quantities among selected ones in order to maximize total additive utility. A numerical example is proposed to illustrate an application of the proposed method. (C) 2008 The Franklin Institute. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
