Abstract
This paper presents a Fuzzy Multi-Criteria Group Decision analysis approach for selecting supplier in a supply chain management. Supplier selection has attained supreme importance for companies in the current scenario because of increasing global competition. Proper selection of suppliers plays a crucial role on the overall performance of the company. The number of available alternatives in the current market is on a rise and hence it becomes difficult to select a supplier from a large lot. An attempt has been made to develop a new composite model using the Fuzzy method based on Schwartz Sequential Dropping method. Finally, an example based on a case study is given to demonstrate the procedure of the proposed methodology.
