Abstract :
The supply chain has recently attracted the attention of many researchers. The purpose of this paper is to identify Suppliers that have the highest potential capacity to meet the needs companies, with reasonable cost and also reduce the risk and maximize the total value of purchaser. Since suppliers are different in terms of products strengths and weaknesses and general conditions, requires a careful evaluation by the purchaser. In order to do this activity in the Companies, there are many problems; one of those problems is to determine the appropriate criteria for assessing supplier. This is because often need to be expressed in the form of qualitative concepts, while they must be evaluated quantitatively. In addition, in terms of decision makers, importance and priorities of each criterion are different, and this is one of the main reasons that authors are seeking to present a model to select suppliers based on appropriate criteria with emphasis on the importance degree of them in the decision-making process. So at first with reviewing the literature, criteria influencing the choice of suppliers were identified, then using a questionnaire that was completed by a Team of experts to screening criteria was discussed. The qualitative and quantitative data were collected and the importance of effective criteria in supplier selection determined by AHP method and finally suppliers of this company ranked using Grey COPRAS method. The most important criteria for evaluation supplier were assets and infrastructure (0.275) and Behran supplier was identified as the best supplier.
