Subcontractor Selection in a Textile Company Using an Integrated Fuzzy McDm Based Approach

Abstract

Several studies have addressed subcontractor selection problem t 2 o date. However, most of them considered subcontractor selection in construction industry and other fields have been disregarded. In order to fill this gap, this study focuses on selecting the best subcontractor under fuzzy environment for a Turkish textile company. The case problem is considered as a multiple criteria decision making (MCDM) problem and a hybrid methodology combining Fuzzy Preferences Programming (FPP) Method and Graph Theoretical Matrix Approach (GTMA) is proposed for the solution. In the application, the FPP is used to model the interrelations and interdependences among attributes and the GTMA is utilized to choose the best subcontractor for the company under consideration. The obtained results reveal that the devised methodology can successfully tackle with any type of MCDM problems as well as subcontractor selection.

Horizontal Cooperation in Subcontracting: A Case Study in Home Textile Industry

“…In the literature, there are several subcontractor selection studies which consider various criteria in the decision-making process where multicriteria decision-making methods are employed. Many studies are carried out in diferent subjects [36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43], and only a few studies exist in textile industry although textile industry is one of the main industries in the world [44][45][46][47]. In these studies, diferent quantitative and qualitative criteria are taken into consideration and the best subcontractor is selected among the alternatives.…”

Applications of MCDM methods for the assessment of sustainable development: a case study of fashion textile group

“…In addition to the concept of sustainability in the textile industry, different MCDM techniques have been used in various fields. There are some applications such as TOPSIS method for supplier selection (Jing, 2018), the Fuzzy Preference Programming Method (FPP) for subcontractor selection (Çakır, 2020), evaluation of green information and communication technologies adoption using bipolar fuzzy Multi-Objective Optimization by a Ratio Analysis method (MULTIMOORA) (Karabasevic et al ., 2021), Elimination and Choice Translating Reality (ELECTRE) method for cotton fabric selection (Ye and Chen, 2023), Grey AHP (analytic hierarchy process) and (ROV-G) Range of Value techniques for solving the appropriate textile machine selection problem (Ulutaş, 2020), application of Vlse Kriterijumska Optimizacija I Kompromisno Resenje Method (VIKOR) algorithm for parameters selection problem in rotor spinning (Fallahpour and Moghassem, 2012).…”
