Stepwise Weight Assessment Ratio Analysis (SWARA) and Complex proportional

assessment with Grey relations (COPRAS- G) are newly developed decision making
methods. These methods have not been tried in supplier selection process. An integrated
approach involving these two methods is developed to select the suppliers. SWARA is used
for weighing the criteria and COPRAS-G is used for evaluating the suppliers. The literature
on applications of SWARA and COPRAS-G is conducted. A case study is undertaken in a
home appliances manufacturing company in Chennai. A team of experts were formed.
Relevant criteria related to the company were indentified, environmental criteria are to be
included in our study, a separate review of environmental criteria is done and green criteria
were extracted. Weights are assigned using SWARA. The criteria ratings are expressed as
linguistic variables based on the grey method. Next suppliers are assessed using COPRAS-G
and the most suitable supplier is selected. A paper prepared from this study is presented in the
International Conference on Technological Advancements in Materials and Manufacturing
for Industrial Environment (TAMMIE) held at KPRIET, Coimbatore. The paper was found
suitable for publication and forwarded to International journal of Enterprise Network
Management. Review process is under progress.
