Abstract
Application of multi-criteria decision-making to resolve industrial problems is well-known. The present research is related to the use of fuzzy-AHP in selection of a supplier in the presence of conflicting criteria. There is always an uncertainty present if the crisp values are used. To avoid uncertainty, in this study linguistic variables have been used. An integrated model of DEMATEL and FAHP has been presented here. The weights obtained from the DEMATAL have been used to calculate the ranking of suppliers through FAHP. The rankings obtained through FAHP have also been compared with the rankings calculated through FTOPSIS [13] for the purpose of validation.
