in this paper we propose a simple non-parametric model for multiple crite-ria supplier selection problem. the proposed model does not generate a zeroweight for a certain criterion and ranks the suppliers without solving the modeln times (one linear programming (lp) for each supplier) and therefore allowsthe manager to get faster results. the methodology is illustrated using anexample.
