Abstract: The paper presents a coherent methodology of a multiple criteria evaluation of suppliers in clothing industry covering: definition of a set of variants – fabric suppliers, definition of a consistent family of criteria that allows for their comprehensive evaluation, modeling of decision maker’s (DM’s) preferences (including: the definition of the importance of criteria and the DM’s sensitivity towards changes of criteria values), computational experiments resulting in the final ranking of suppliers and finally the selection of the most desired supplier.The analysis of 5 suppliers namely fabric producers, operating on the Polish market, whose factories are located in Poland, have been taken into consideration.Also in the family of criteria evaluating the cooperating units (important for the DM),9 measures have been taken into account. These have included, among others: product price/cost and payment conditions, timeliness of delivery/ supplier, reliability of delivery/ supplier, cost of delivery, accessibility of supplier. In the computational phase a selected MCDM/A ranking methods (especially Electre III/IV and AHP methods) have been applied.
