First, a series of important measures that the consensus of experts in the supplier evaluation process is defined and then, to assess them,&nbsp;a few quantitative sub-criteria have been used that the scores earned by&nbsp;each of&nbsp;the evaluation criteria.&nbsp;Also by performing paired judgments using the hierarchical analysis process&nbsp;(<a name="_ftnref1"></a>AHP), the weights of these criteria and sub-criteria are determined and ultimately, based on the rates obtained the best supplier can be selected. A case study in Iran has been done to choose the final decision to supply each raw material by suppliers.</p> ER -
