چکیده

In this paper we propose a simple non-parametric model for multiple crite-
ria supplier selection problem. The proposed model does not generate a zero
weight for a certain criterion and ranks the suppliers without solving the model
n times (one linear programming (LP) for each supplier) and therefore allows
the manager to get faster results. The methodology is illustrated using an
example.
