Abstract

This article extends the Ng-model for multiple criteria supplier selection problem based upon a distance-based decision-making method. The proposed method determines the common weights associated with all rankings of the criteria importance, and then provides a comprehensively scoring scheme by aggregating all rankings. A numerical illustration is presented to compare our computational results with that of the Ng-model.
