Abstract

Supplier selection plays a significant role in procurement of a construction company because it reduces the production costs and helps increase the quality of services or products. It is noteworthy that the supplier selection process should consider several criteria, therefore the aim of this research is to propose a methodology for suppliers ranking of construction companies. The most significant inputs were pointed out by the material ABC curve designated by a construction company that operates in Fortaleza and Juazeiro do Norte in Ceará. The hierarchy was achieved through the application of PROMETHEE, and the criteria were payment flexibility, delivery on time, product quality, technical assistance. The proposed methodology allows the decision maker to compare various suppliers. This research is intended to support in decisions related to the supply materials for construction.
