This paper is based on the data collected from a survey of 66 Indian textile‐related organisations carried out to ascertain issues related to supplier selection. Using the data collected, fuzzy set theory has been applied to reach a decision regarding selection or rejection of a particular supplier. Four Multi‐Input Single‐Output (MISO) mamdani fuzzy inference systems have been proposed. First three MISO systems consist of three inputs, four inputs and three inputs respectively and give out single output each. These three outputs are used as inputs to the fourth MISO system to give out single output, termed as final decision.
