TLDR

This paper treats supplier selection as a group multiple criteria decision making (GMCDM) problem and obtain decision makers' opinions in the form of linguistic terms which are converted to trapezoidal fuzzy numbers and extended the VIKOR method with a mechanism to extract and deploy objective weights based on Shannon entropy concept.
