EN The chapter presents the comparative analysis of the solution procedures of the suppliers’ selection problem in different industries. The authors carry out a multiple criteria evaluation and ranking of three distinctive categories of suppliers, i.e.: meat suppliers in a food industry, logistics service providers (LSPs) in a household chemistry industry and suppliers of packaging and supplementary materials in a printing industry. The definition of variants (suppliers), family of evaluation criteria and modeling of the decision maker’s (DM’s) preferences are presented. The results of computational experiments performed with the application of Electre III/IV and AHP methods are demonstrated. The processes of selecting the most desired suppliers in the above mentioned cases are compared and different aspects of the proposed multiple criteria - based procedures are thoroughly discussed.
