Özet:

The choice of a supplier is a complex multi-criteria problem that includes both numerical and non-numerical criteria. In order to choose suppliers, it is necessary to make exchanges between these criteria that conflict with each other. Different approaches were suggested in literature to solve the problem of supplier choice. The Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHS) developed by Saaty is a more useful approach, as it takes into account all the criteria of numeric and non-numeric in the resolution of the problem. The main objective of this study is to solve the problem of a textile company’s supplier choice using AHS. The proposed model includes the representation of the relationships between five alternatives, seven main and thirteen subcriteria in a hierarchical structure. The focus group method was used to obtain a twenty-two comparative matrix. The model’s solution results were given and sensitivity analyses were made. As a result, important outcomes and recommendations for the company management were presented.
