Developing selection criteria for mechanical, electrical and plumbing custom-made product suppliers in construction projects using the fuzzy analytical network process
Keywords:
fuzzy analytical network process, Delphi technique, supplier selectionAbstract
The research applies a multi-criteria decision-making method to select suppliers in the construction industry, specifically for custom-made material and equipment suppliers. The initial criteria were gathered from a review of academic articles, and the Delphi technique was used to collect expert opinions confidentially in order to determine the evaluation criteria. The weights of each criterion were then analyzed using the Fuzzy Analytical Network Process (FANP), as fuzzy set theory effectively handles uncertainty. Furthermore, the Analytical Network Process enables a comprehensive evaluation by considering the relationships between sub- criteria at each level or within the same level. The research findings revealed that the evaluation criteria for the case study's selection process include 6 main criteria and 17 sub-criteria, covering key success factors for construction projects in terms of price, quality, transportation, after-sales service, required operating condition and supplier’s organizational structure, respectively.
