English Abstract
The supplier selection problem is one of the most important component of the purchasing function.
Some of the common and influential criteria are quantitative and some are qualitative criteria in the selection of a supplier.
Forty of decision makers in the Palestinian National Authority (PNA) ministries were surveyed to identify the importance of the supplier selection criteria.
As a result, quality, price, service, business overall performance, technical capability and delivery were identified to be the major selection criteria along with thirty four sub-criteria.
The multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) is suggested to be a viable method for supplier selection.
The analytic hierarchy process (AHP) has been used as a tool for MCDM.
The identified criteria were used in conjunction with the AHP theory concept and a computerized software program “Expert Choice” based on AHP in structuring the supplier selection model (SSM).
The SSM was used for solving the supplier selection problem.
An application of the SSM for a case study is presented along with sensitivity analysis to choose the best supplier.
SSM is proposed to choose the best photocopying machines supplier to the ministries of PNA.
