3. A BRIEF BACKGROUND ON THE
DECISION MAKING TOOLS USED
Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), developed by Saaty (34), is designed to solve complex multi-criteria decision problems. AHP decomposes the complex decisions in a hierarchical structure and makes it easy to manage the complex decisions in this way. So
the decision maker can determine the trade-offs among objectives related to all criteria, sub-criteria and their pairwise comparisons. The output of AHP is a prioritized ranking of the decision alternatives based on the overall preferences expressed by the decision maker. AHP is the most widely used approach in supplier selection literature. AHP uses a verbal scale developed by Saaty, which enables the experts to incorporate subjectivity and experience (35). Please refer to
(34) for details of AHP.
Analytic Network Process (ANP), also introduced by Saaty (36), is a generalization of AHP. It incorporates feedback and inner dependencies …show more content…
The fabric quality is also one of the reasons of sawing defects (39).
In general, suppliers having professional
“product design capabilities” are preferred during selection. This selection criterion comes after the fabric and yarn structure. It should be noted that the right fiber selection and providing the required properties in yarn level would increase the satisfaction rate in meeting expectations.
In the last phase in Table 1, factors related to the examination of system performance of the cooperated suppliers and their importance degrees are given. The PRSC has the first place in priorities of providing sustainable relations with suppliers.
This result points out the increasing consumer consciousness and sensibility of retail firms on this matter.
Retail firms can suffer from “order cancellations” in markets facing high uncertainties. Therefore, tolerance
range is narrowed and this criterion is placed as second in priorities.
“Competitive
pricing” has high importance degree as it directly affects profits in the global competition market. The results reveal that the retail firms give importance to
