Abstract :
The objective of SS (SS) process is to minimize risk in purchasing, enhance overall profit of the customer, and build the long lasting and close relations between suppliers and buyers. SS process is one of the main key processes of the supply chain management (SCM). So, selection of a supplier has become an important issue for development of a proper supply chain (SC) system. Here, we have provided a case study for SS using Technique for Order Performance by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS). We have explained it using crisp data. In this study, we evaluate five suppliers using crisp TOPSIS. This method can be used when one have to select one particular supplier from no. of suppliers in short period of time. It will be also helpful to the Pharmacists to select the best supplier who can fulfill all their needs. In spite of the no. of studies on SS, the evaluation and selection of suppliers using the specific measures of the healthcare sector are less investigated. In order to fill this gap, this research proposed a guide for SS of antibiotic drug.

Key-Words / Index Term :
supplier, TOPSIS, crisp, antibiotic, pharmacist
