Supplier selection is an important component of supply chain management in
today’s global competitive environment. Hence, the evaluation and selection of suppliers
have received considerable attention in the literature. Many attributes of suppliers, other
than cost, are considered in the evaluation and selection process. Therefore, the process
of evaluation and selection of suppliers is a multi-criteria decision making process. The
methodology adopted to solve the supplier selection problem is intuitionistic fuzzy
TOPSIS (Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to the Ideal Solution). Generally,
TOPSIS is based on the concept of minimum distance from the positive ideal solution
and maximum distance from the negative ideal solution. We examine the deficiencies of
using only one metric function in TOPSIS, and propose the use of spherical metric
function in addition to the commonly used metric functions. For empirical supplier
selection problems, more than one metric function should be used.
