A hybrid intelligent fuzzy predictive model with simulation for supplier evaluation and selection

作者:

Highlights:

• Supplier evaluation and selection constitutes a central issue in supply chain management.

• We develop a novel multi-criteria decision model applicable to supplier evaluation processes.

• ANFIS is used to determine the most influential criteria on the suppliers’ performance.

• Multi-layer perceptron is then used to rank the suppliers’ performance based on these criteria.

• A case study is used to illustrate the accuracy of several variants of the model in prediction.
