Abstract: The objective of this research article is to select the most appropriate distributor in a supply chain by applying a grey approach. This approach may be very much helpful to select the most suitable distributor in a supply chain among all alternatives of distributors available in the existing supply chain. For implementing this approach, a case study has been carried out from a large-sized bearing manufacturing company for deciding the best alternative of distributor. In this case study, eight selection criteria and four distributors have been considered. A grey approach is implemented for selecting the most suitable distributor based on eight selection criteria among all the four distributors. In this article, grey-based, decision-making approach has been discussed in a very detailed manner for the selection of the best alternative of distributor by providing the comparative ranking to the alternatives and some specific weights to the selection criteria of the distributor.
