Abstract


The textile industry is highly dependent on supplier performance in ensuring the quality of raw materials, timely delivery, price stability, and supply continuity. The complexity of supplier evaluation involving many criteria often leads to subjectivity and inconsistencies in decision-making when using conventional approaches. This study proposes a decision support system to evaluate textile supplier performance based on a combination of Weights by Envelope and Slope (WENSLO) and Mixed Aggregation by Comprehensive Normalization Technique for Multi-Criteria (MACONT). The WENSLO method is used to determine the weight of criteria objectively based on data distribution characteristics, while MACONT is applied to assess and rank supplier alternatives through a comprehensive normalization and aggregation process. The case study was conducted involving nine suppliers and five evaluation criteria, namely material quality, timeliness, price, supply capacity, and responsiveness. The results of the study indicate that the proposed model is capable of producing clear and stable supplier rankings, with Supplier A9, Supplier A7, and Supplier A2 occupying the top three positions. These findings demonstrate that the integration of WENSLO and MACONT can enhance the objectivity and consistency of decision-making, as well as provide a more reliable and relevant framework for evaluating textile suppliers to support data-driven supply chain management.
