Abstract
Considering the globalization and the global economy, companies need to make strategic decisions in the furniture sector, as in many other sectors. In today's competitive conditions, supply chain management plays a major role in the success of firms and ensuring their sustainability in the sector. Therefore, companies need to work with suitable suppliers to be successful in supply chain management. There are many different methods used in the literature for evaluating suppliers. Fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (FAHP) method, which is one of the multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) methods, is widely used in supplier selection problems. This study aimed to determine the best suppliers of a furniture production company in Turkey using the FAHP. In the study, four suppliers of the company were evaluated according to price, quality, delivery, innovativeness, and reliability criteria. As a result of the application, the ranking of the suppliers was made, and the best supplier selected.
