However, after the financial tsunami and the increased price for raw materials, enterprises\u2019 abilities to select suppliers and purchase have great influences on plan implementation. Therefore, with the prevailing issues of supply chain management, how to evaluate and select appropriate suppliers has become a very important topic for enterprises. Depending on customers\u2019 needs, the requirements for suppliers vary from industry to industry. On this basis, this study summarizes and analyzes the literature on supplier selection to develop the supplier selection criteria, constructs the hierarchical network architecture by an expert interview, and proposes a complete supplier evaluation model by the fuzzy theory and network analysis. This study shows that the order of the important dimensions is as follows: performance evaluation, customer service, technology and competitiveness, cost benefits, and architecture, and the most important criterion is quality. Finally, the material suppliers of backlight modules in the panel industry are taken as the examples and ranked by VIKOR, based on their merits and demerits, to help related industries to understand their current advantages and disadvantages according to the selection results obtained by the fuzzy analytical network process and improve the gap between their actual situations and enterprises\u2019 expectations and thus enhance their competitiveness.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1155\/2021\/7508673","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,11,20]],"date-time":"2021-11-20T17:50:08Z","timestamp":1637430608000},"page":"1-8","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Application of Fuzzy Analytical Network Process and VIKOR Model in Foreign Trade Supplier Selection"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2021","author":[{"given":"Tsung-Xian","family":"Lin","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Management, Guangzhou Huashang College, Guangzhou 511300, China"},{"name":"Institute for Economic and Social Research, Huashang College, Guangzhou 511300, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9433-4180","authenticated-orcid":true,"given":"Xiao","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Management, Guangzhou Huashang College, Guangzhou 511300, China"},{"name":"Institute for Economic and Social Research, Huashang College, Guangzhou 511300, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Zhong-huan","family":"Wu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Management, Guangzhou Huashang College, Guangzhou 511300, China"},{"name":"Institute for Economic and Social Research, Huashang College, Guangzhou 511300, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Che-Chang","family":"Chang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Management, Guangzhou Huashang College, Guangzhou 511300, China"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","reference":[{"key":"1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1745-493x.1966.tb00818.x"},{"key":"2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0377-2217(91)90033-r"},{"key":"3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/s0925-5273(99)00009-2"},{"key":"4","first-page":"14","article-title":"An application of the analytic hierarchy process to the supplier selection problem","author":"T.
