ABSTRACT

This chapter provides a detailed overview of Fuzzy Logic and Fuzzy Decision Making models for the supplier selection process. It analyses the articles with respect to date of publication, the journal title, studied industry, supplier type and fuzziness type. The chapter presents classification of literature review with research methodology. F. Kong et al., presented a fuzzy decision-making approach to deal with the supplier selection problem. They determined the weighting of subjective judgments with fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (FAHP) and evaluated suppliers with the grey relation model. J. Razmi et al., developed a framework based on FAHP to evaluate and select the potential suppliers and augmented a non-linear programming model to the model to elicit the relative weights from fuzzy comparison matrices. A. Dargi et al., proposed a framework comprising of the most critical factors for the aim of a reliable supplier selection for an Iranian automotive industry.
