Abstract

In supply chain management, one of the most important decision problems is supplier selection decisions. Businesses cooperate with one or more suppliers for the products they need to keep related to the goods and services they will produce. Therefore, they want to work with strong suppliers that will both meet their needs and provide the best price for the business. Different number and quality of criteria with conflicting features affect and determine the supplier selection decision of the enterprises. In this study, supplier selection criteria were determined in the procurement of electronic products or materials, which are one of the most procured products of universities, especially in recent years and criterion weights were evaluated by the analytical hierarchy process (AHP). As a result of the analysis, the most important criteria affecting supplier selection is the service and it has been obtained that this criterion is followed by delivery, quality, price and brand, respectively. In addition, it has been found that the most important suppliers among the suppliers that make up the alternatives are Apple and Samsung.
