“…Several MADM techniques have been proposed for the SSE problem: analytic hierarchy process (AHP) [34][35][36], analytic network process (ANP) [34], complex proportional assessment (COPRAS) [36][37][38], data envelopment analysis (DEA) [36,[39][40][41], elimination et choix traduisant la realité (ELECTRE) [42,43], preference ranking organization method for enrichment of evaluations (PROMETHEE) [44], technique for order of preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS) [45][46][47][48][49], visekriterijumska optimizacija i kompromisno resenje (VIKOR) [50,51], decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL) [52,53], multi-objective optimisation by ratio analysis (MOORA) [54], case based reasoning (CBR) [55], fuzzy inference systems [56,57], genetic algorithm (GA) [58], mathematical and goal programming (MP) [59], simple multi-attribute rating technique (SMART) [60], and their hybrids, among others. In those MADM techniques, the supplier qualification is set according to the valuation given to different relevant factors (qualitative and quantitative) in the evaluation process.…”
