Summary
Proper supplier selection is very critical because a significant proportion of income is allocated for and spent on purchased items. This paper presents a supplier selection model for oil and gas projects in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). This model is designed to guide users in selecting the most suitable supplier. The supplier selection decision is based on several criteria. The proposed model consists of five stages: item selection, initial supplier selection, selection criteria, supplier evaluation, and selection decision. It allows the decision makers to select the most suitable supplier to execute the job. Decision makers can evaluate the results based on the suppliers' ranking and the sensitivity of the case. A real case study is presented to demonstrate the application of the model.
