Application of Fuzzy Analytical Network Process and VIKOR Model in Foreign Trade Supplier Selection

The technology in Taiwan’s panel industry is changing fast. However, after the financial tsunami and the increased price for raw materials, enterprises’ abilities to select suppliers and purchase have great influences on plan implementation. Therefore, with the prevailing issues of supply chain mana...
