Sažetak
In past years, the multi-attribute decision-making (MADM)
approaches have been extensively applied by researchers to the
supplier evaluation and selection problem. Many of these studies
were performed in an uncertain environment described by fuzzy sets.
This study provides a review of applications of MADM approaches
for evaluation and selection of suppliers in a fuzzy environment. To
this aim, a total of 339 publications were examined, including papers
in peer-reviewed journals and reputable conferences and also some
book chapters over the period of 2001 to 2016. These publications
were extracted from many online databases and classified in some
categories and subcategories according to the MADM approaches,
and then they were analysed based on the frequency of approaches,
number of citations, year of publication, country of origin and
publishing journals. The results of this study show that the AHP and
TOPSIS methods are the most popular approaches. Moreover, China
and Taiwan are the top countries in terms of number of publications
and number of citations, respectively. The top three journals with
highest number of publications were: Expert Systems with Applications,
International Journal of Production Research and The International
Journal of Advanced Manufacturing Technology.
