“…One of the essential decisions in the supply chain for contractors is to select suppliers, and the usual decision-aiding methods in contemporary economics are related to MCDM (Zavadskas, Turskis, & Antucheviciene, 2015). At present, various MCDM methods for the evaluation and selection of suppliers in the construction industry have been developed, such as the Simple Multi-Attribute Rating Technique Exploiting Ranking (SMARTER) method (Schramm & Morais, 2012), triangular fuzzy AHP method (Guan, Zhang, & Wu, 2013), AHP-ER (Evidential Reasoning) method (Polat & Eray, 2015), EDAS method (Keshavarz Ghorabaee, Zavadskas, Amiri, & Turskis, 2016), AHP and fuzzy AHP method (Plebankiewicz & Kubek, 2016), fuzzy AHP-TOPSIS (Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution) method (Polat, Eray, & Bingol, 2017), AHP-GRA (grey relational analysis) method (Wang et al, 2017). However, none of those mentioned above studies assumed integration of the DEMATEL and BWM methods, which is a new system to determine weights of attributes.…”
