Abstract

In this study, supplier reliability is considered as a criterion for selecting the suppliers. Although, there are dozens of studies in the literature that use different models on supplier performance evaluation, only in a few of these studies supplier's reliability is taken as a parameter of the evaluation. The goal of this study is to determine the factors which play important role on the reliability of suppliers and analyze the importance degrees of these factors. For this purpose, fuzzy DEMATEL method which is frequently preferred in the literature is used in order to analyze interaction among the factors.
