As a result of the rapidly increasing and sustainable needs of organisations, suppliers have become essential to any business. Decision makers and managers face challenges when they are about to select suppliers, and the organisation will face more obstacles when a poor decision is made. This paper presents a new hybrid model which combines the linear weightage and Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) models for the supplier selection process. The new model can guarantee better decisions and provide a robust tool for assisting decision makers and managers to make the right decision and select the most suitable supplier. The proposed model was applied in a real-life case study and the 'what-if' analysis technique was used to assess the proposed model and its effectiveness. © 2010 Inderscience Enterprises Ltd. date: 2010 publisher: Inderscience Publishers official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-77951237556&doi=10.1504%2fIJBIS.2010.031928&partnerID=40&md5=58b1581b897f45cf5c0c8b0f029e57c0 id_number: 10.1504/IJBIS.2010.031928 full_text_status: none publication: International Journal of Business Information Systems volume: 5 number: 3 pagerange: 230-247 refereed: TRUE issn: 17460972 citation: Dominic, P.D.D. and Whab, A.A. and Kannabiran, G. and Foong, O.M.
