  • Grouped criteria into categories: cost, customer service, CSR, technology, operational efficiency
  • Performed sensitivity analysis using AHP and BWM methods
  • Evaluated three suppliers based on the defined criteria
  • Operational efficiency and customer service ranked as the most important criteria (0.374 each)
  • Cost and technical criteria both had a weight of 0.102
  • Corporate social responsibility had the lowest weight of 0.048
  • Choosing Supplier B with a minimum order could reduce costs by up to 5%
