Globalization has made supply chain more complex, diverse and makes it possible to obtain any material from any location on the planet. It is the most difficult decision to make in outsourcing, yet it is crucial to a supply chain's success. The supplier selection process consumes a significant amount of a company's financial resources and is critical to its success. The primary goal of supplier management strategies is to decrease the purchasing risk, increase the total value for buyer and finally foster long term relationships between vendors and buyers. This study aims to build a multicriteria supplier recommendation system to select better suppliers in networking industries. There are two steps to the suggested model. Using analytical hierarchy process (AHP), the weights of the criteria are first determined. This study takes into consideration 5 criteria and 11 sub criteria. The results of the Pareto analysis were used to establish which criteria have the greatest impact on the organization's selection process. The output of the AHP model, that is the criteria weights are used as the input to determine the supplier ranking using TOPSIS process. The findings demonstrate that using a structured decision-making methodology is critical, particularly in complex situations with both qualitative and quantitative criteria.
