Abstract
One of the most critical concerns in supply chain management is supplier selection, which significantly impacts an organization's efficiency and market agility. Balancing ordinal and basic criteria in supplier selection has become increasingly crucial in recent years within SCM. This research presents three MCDM methods including Fuzzy AHP and Fuzzy TOPSIS methods to assess and select suppliers in oil and gas industry. The critical criteria for supplier selection in the oil and gas sector have been reviewed in the literature and validated by experts actively working in the field. Initially, the Fuzzy AHP technique determines criterion weights and ranks suppliers. Subsequently, the Fuzzy TOPSIS approach is applied to rank prospective suppliers identified through objective evaluation. The findings show the capability of the utilized approaches in supplier selection procedure in oil and gas industry.

Abstract
In today’s competitive business situation, performance evaluation of firms is an extremely important concern of all the people who are typically stakeholders of the business game. In case of holding companies, this is a more important issue since the parent firm must permanently control the situation of its subsidiaries in their sectors to make appropriate investment decisions. This paper develops a multicriteria decision making (MCDM) approach for evaluating performance of firms considering financial and productivity criteria.. We adopt Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (FAHP) method to determine the relative importance of evaluation criteria, taking the vagueness and imprecision of human judgments into consideration. Then, we employ the Preference Ranking Organization METHod for Enrichment Evaluation (PROMETHEE) for ranking of firms. Afterward, this paper enjoys benefit of using Technique of Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) to assess the validity of the obtained ranking results. Our approach was applied to a holding company listed in Tehran Stock Exchange (TSE) as a real case. The analysis of ranking results revealed advantages of combining these MCDM methods.
