Developing a DEA model to measure the performance of supply chains

Supplier selection is a process by which firms identify, evaluate, and contract with suppliers and plays a vital role in the management of a supply chain. Hence, the goal of the current paper is to propose a simple non-parametric model for the multiple criteria supplier selection problem. The suggested model provides non-zero weights for all criteria and allows the manager to get faster results by ranking the suppliers without solving the model n times.
