Application of the Fuzzy Semantic Distance Model and Algorithms for Transporter Selection Problem

To provide a reasonable, effective and easy-to-use solution approach for the supplier selection. Based on the established transporter selection synthetic index system, a fuzzy semantic distance mathematical model is obtained for selecting transporter. In view of the characteristic that included both fuzzy interval data and qualitative variable in the index system, the model can synthesize the quantify attribute and the qualitative attribute as well. The result of sequence in this model can reflect the comprehensive capability of selected transporter. The example shows the availability of the model.
