While global outsourcing enhances the capability of the enterprise, it also facilitates flexible enterprise structures. Many factors need to be considered simultaneously for global outsourcing decisions, and purchasing managers need a structured method of using these criteria in their decision-making. The scope of this study was to develop a fuzzy logic-based global outsourcing decision support system to evaluate the make or buy decision in the apparel industry. A fuzzy logic-based decision support system is constructed due to the similarity between fuzzy logic and human decision-making systems. The proposed approach decreases the dependency of the decision-making process on the decision-maker, establishing an effective system that can easily be applicable to most of the apparel industry.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessMaterials scienceGlobal outsourcingMake or buyDecision support systemApparel industryFuzzy logicInternational facilities locationGoal programming approachSupplier selectionForecasting systemChain managementStochastic-modelAhpOptimizationPerformanceTechnologyArtificial intelligenceDecision makingFuzzy logicOutsourcingApparel industryBusiness componentDecision making processFlexible enterpriseGlobal outsourcingHuman decision makingIntelligent decision support systemsMake-or-buyDecision support systemsArticle0003801650000142-s2.0-849454010301322133510710Materials science, textilesOutsourcing; Hospitality Industry; Hotels
