Fuzzy prioritization of suppliers with project procurement planning using the Meta-Heuristic method

Abstract

Deciding on suppliers, investigating their performance and background, and choosing or not choosing suppliers are among the many issues that have been studied domestically and internationally. In this research, mathematical modeling is used to select the suppliers. Then, using the fuzzy multi-criteria decision-making approach (fuzzy-analytic hierarchical process, FAHP), the selected options are prioritized. After presenting the model, the supplier is prioritized using Fuzzy Hierarchical Analysis and then used this information as input data and solving the model with MATLAB software. The proposed model is solved in a few examples and then using relevant data. Given nphard, the proposed model will be solved using one of the metaheuristic approaches. In general, all companies that want to choose the right supplier can use the methods and indices collected in this research, along with any changes that may require the strategy of the company.
