Abstract: Supplier selection, one of the most important issues of a company, must be systematically considered from the decision makers' perspectives. For this reason, the supplier selection process were evaluated by researchers for many years in a large framework comprised of various experimental and analytical techniques and successful applications were done in various sectors. In this paper, supplier selection is considered a multicriteria decision problem and a model is proposed by using Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP). The evaluation criteria are developed and used successfully in the proposed model. A detailed step-by-step implementation method is presented in this paper and a case study based on an apparel manufacturing organisation is conducted to prove the validity of the method.
