Vendor selection is a critical activity in order to support the
achievement of company success and competitiveness. Significantly,
the company has some specific standards in the selection. Therefore,
an evaluation is needed to see which vendors match the company's
criteria. The purpose of this study is to evaluate and select the
proposed vendor in a web-based decision support system (DSS) by
using the fuzzy-AHP MOORA approach. The fuzzy-AHP method is
used to determine the importance level of the criteria, while the
MOORA method is used for alternative ranking. The results showed
that vendor 4 has the highest score than other alternatives with a
value of 0.2536. Sensitivity analysis showed that the proposed DSS
fuzzy-AHP MOORA concept was already solid and suitable for this
problem, with a low rate of change.

1. Introduction
The process of vendor selection is one of the critical company activities managed by the procurement
department. Vendor selection has a significant effect on strategic and operational performance in an
organization [1]. Choosing the right vendor can improve quality and flexibility to meet customer
satisfaction [2]. The primary purpose of choosing a vendor is to reduce the purchase risk, maximize the
overall value of the buyer, and develop the intimate and long-term relationship between the buyer and
the seller. Therefore, purchasing managers should develop and use effective processes to find a
qualified vendor to grant business qualifications. Thus, it is necessary to evaluate the selection to
determine the right vendor that matches the company's criteria.
Evaluation in the selection of vendor certainly requires relevant criteria as benchmarks in its
assessment. In developing and selecting criteria, the criteria must reflect the company's supply chain
strategy and the characteristics of the items to be supplied. This process means that assessing criteria
like quality and services is a big part of a procurement manager's job, along with negotiating to find the
best available pricing and savings for their company. Well-designed criteria can improve the
performance and reduce the risk of the procurement system in supply chain management.
Several decision-making methods have been widely used in the field of vendor or supplier
selection. Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) is a method that has been popular in decision-
making problems. MCDM is a mathematical technique for assisting in the decision-making process by
evaluating and ranking multiple alternatives and conflicting criteria in complex situations [3]. MCDM
has many methods, including SAW, ELECTRE, VIKOR, MAUT, PROMETHEE, SMART, WP, and
TOPSIS. In the last few decades, the MCDM method has been integrated with some other methods. The
