Abstract: Abstract Supplier selection of the fishing tackle manufacturing company is an important problem in Quanzhou, China, and the qualities of suppliers are uneven. The objective of this paper is to choose the best supplier by evaluating quality, financial and location of buyer-supplier. Analytic network process (ANP) is adopted to do the supplier selection. ANP incorporates the relationship of interdependence and feedback in the multilevel decision network and it provides a way to input judgments and measurements to derive ratio scale priorities for the distribution of influence among the factors and groups of factors in the decision. A ranking of the buyer-supplier weighted index is attained, and the results should provide opinion to select the most suitable for relationship between the manufacturer and its supplier. Based on supplier selection weighted index, the best supplier has been determined, and found that quality is the most important in rank of supplier’s evaluation criteria. The result showed supplier B is the chosen one, since it can improve the manufacturer’s quality, raw material, equipment status, and function of product. As the matter a fact, supplier B cannot only provide good quality but also provide on-time delivery, even though its location is the farthest one.
