The present study intends to present a supplier selection method, which also considers green indicators due to environmental protection issues, by using an analysis network process (ANP) as well as data envelopment analysis (DEA). ANP which is able to consider the interdependency between criteria releases the constraint of DEA that the users cannot set up criteria weight preferences. The model evaluation results for high-tech industry show that the proposed method can provide not only reasonable outcomes with a smaller number of decision making units, but can also provide more consistent results.
