Nowadays, the demand of third-party logistics provider becomes an increasingly important issue for companies to improve their\ncustomer service and to decrease logistics costs. This paper presents an integrated fuzzy approach for the evaluation and selection\nof 3rd party logistics service providers. This method consists of two techniques: (1) use fuzzy analytic hierarchy process to identify\nweights of evaluation criteria; (2) apply fuzzy technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS) method to\nevaluate and sequence alternatives and to make the final selection. Finally, an actual industrial application is performed in logistics\ndepartment of a tiremanufacturing company. For this, first, eight logistics supplier selection criteria were determined, and then the\nbest alternative among seven logistics service provider companies was selected by the proposed method.
