Decisions in supplier selection problems are an
important task for managers, once they need to
consider many aspects in order to achieve the
objectives set by their companies. Solving this
multicriteria problem through a pertinent MCDM/A
process will influence the strategic success of an
organization (de Almeida et al., 2015; Figueira, Greco,
& Ehrgott, 2005). In this paper we model a supplier
selection problem set in a Colombian agricultural
research company–Company A–and use partial
information on preferences to assist the selection of
the most suitable laboratory equipment supplier from
a set of potential ones.
