D numbers, transformation functions, analytic hierarchy process, fuzzy preference relationAbstract
Selecting reasonable suppliers can effectively improve the efficiency of enterprise supply chain management. Among them, expert evaluation is an important part of supplier selection problem, but the uncertainty, fuzziness and incompleteness of expert opinions make supplier selection problem difficult to solve. In order to systematically and effectively solve the uncertainty, ambiguity and incompleteness in supplier selection problem, this paper presents a new supplier selection method based on D numbers and transformation function. First, fuzzy preference relation is generated based on the decision matrix of pairwise comparisons given by experts. D numbers which can effectively deal with uncertain information extend fuzzy preference relation (D matrix). Second, the D matrix is converted into a crisp matrix form based on the integration representation of D numbers according to different situations whether or not the information in D matrix is complete. Third, the crisp matrix is converted into judgement matrix by using the transformation functions. Finally, analytic hierarchy process (AHP) method is applied based on the judgment matrix to give a priority weights for decision making. Three numerical examples and application of the supplier selection are used to show the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed method.
