“…A nonexhaustive list of these techniques includes Linear Weighting, Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), Analytic Network Process (ANP), Linear Programming, Mixed Integer Programming, Goal Programming,Multi-Objective Programming, Economical Order Quantity (EOQ), Total Cost of Ownership (TCO), Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA), Quality Fuction Development (QFD), Structure Matrix (Chen and Huang 2007), Cluster Analysis (Li et al 2009), Case-Based Reasoning (CBR), Genetic Algorithm, Neural Network, Rough Set Theory and Fuzzy Set Theory (Carrera and Mayorga 2008;McCauleyBell 1999). Many integrated techniques, combining more than one techniques in the list above, were also developed for supplier selection.…”
