Abstract

The article is part of an exploratory investigation of several years which has two contributions to the literature: the first is the construction of the multi-criteria evaluation matrix with the definition of the parameters from the statistical analysis of deterministic and probabilistic behavior of the criteria under assumptions factor; and the second is the application of PROMETHEE method for carrier’s selection in the supply chain (SC) under the theoretical approaches in the literature to build a theoretical and practical methodology for decision-making in the CS, a case study is presented to CS of green coffee. The Multi Criteria Decision Aid (MCDA) techniques revised, the nonparametric outranking method PROMETHEE allows decision makers to combine quantitative and qualitative criteria for carrier’s selection with scientists and easy components. The carrier’s selection policy for Land Transportation Service (LTS) proposal is designed under the criteria of maximizing the opportunity, flexibility, efficiency or opportunity and technology; and cost minimization presented in the Network Decision Multi Criteria (MCDN) for Transportation Logistic Function (TLF).
