Supplier evaluation and selection is always the key problem in supply chain management, and models and algorithms are various. AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) model is one of them. For the evaluation and selection problem’s weakness of a supplier, this paper proposes an improved AHP model which uses the information entropy to establish each weight of evaluating criteria’ objectively and determines the projects’ evaluation weight based on the criteria with exponential transformation. At last, one case result shows that the model is scientific and effective.

Supply Chain Management (SCM) has proven to be an effective tool that aids companies in the development of competitive advantages. SCM Systems are relied on to manage warehouses, transportation, trade logistics and various other issues concerning the coordinated movement of products and services from suppliers to customers. Although in today’s fast paced business environment, numerous supply chain solution tools are readily available to companies, choosing the right SCM software is not an easy task. The complexity of SCM systems creates a multifaceted issue when selecting the right software, particularly in light of the speed at which technology evolves. In this chapter, we use the approach of Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) to determine which SCM software best meets the needs of a company. The AHP approach outlined in this paper can be easily transferred to the comparison of other SCM software packages.

The ever increasing levels of hazardous and toxic waste generated from industrial sector hasten to implement the Sustainable Supply Chain Management (SSCM) in all sphere of the business practice. In this research article the authors developed a Supplier Selection model applying Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) to select Environmentally Conscious Suppliers (ECS) for one of the maintenance unit of Metropolitan Transport Corporation (MTC) providing public passenger transport service in a metropolitan city located in South India. Being a Public Sector Undertaking (PSU), the organization has the list of approved suppliers who are pre-qualified to supply the materials and spare parts required to maintain their road vehicles in accordance with the Government’s Public Procurement Policy (PPP). However the growing concern being faced by the organization in the disposal of the hazardous and toxic waste accumulated, which forces them to select suitable suppliers who will comply with the SSCM principles from their pre-qualified list of suppliers.

Considering the globalization and the global economy, companies need to make strategic decisions in the furniture sector, as in many other sectors. In today's competitive conditions, supply chain management plays a major role in the success of firms and ensuring their sustainability in the sector. Therefore, companies need to work with suitable suppliers to be successful in supply chain management. There are many different methods used in the literature for evaluating suppliers. Fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (FAHP) method, which is one of the multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) methods, is widely used in supplier selection problems. This study aimed to determine the best suppliers of a furniture production company in Turkey using the FAHP. In the study, four suppliers of the company were evaluated according to price, quality, delivery, innovativeness, and reliability criteria. As a result of the application, the ranking of the suppliers was made, and the best supplier selected.
