Abstract: Purchasing plays a momentous role in establishing relationships with a plethora of business partners in supply chain and is pivotal concerning overall firm operations and supply chain performance. Majority of firms militate against the cost-competitive world in reducing the overall component cost by scrutinising cost-effective suppliers. E-procurement is one of the pre-eminent features in supply chain management (SCM) and has garnered considerable attention among manufacturing industries in the Middle East. Due to its distinct nature, a glut of novice criteria and sub-criteria has been augmented with the traditional classifications for selecting a consummate supplier. Initially, the selected criteria were analysed and compared by deriving priority weights using AHP, FAHP and IF-AHP, respectively.
