Green Supplier Selection Framework Based on Multi-Criteria Decision-Analysis Approach

The aim of this article is to present the framework for dynamic suppliers' evaluation and selection. The proposed framework defines input information together with a methodological background required for decision support processes. Authors suggest using the multi-criteria decision-analysis (MCDA) methodology to propose a dynamic approach. Therefore, the fuzzy TOPSIS method has been selected as a method that provides the ability to aggregate numerical and linguistic data, which are obtained from various inputs. After discussions on a framework outline, an empirical study is given. The presented problem concerns the selection of a supplier for the company producing cable bundles. Finally, a ranking for 25 vendors (for 12 periods) is obtained as a result, which facilitates the diversification of supplies for the discussed company.
