The methodology used is descriptive, and its approach was mixed (quantitative and qualitative), which begins with a sufficient thematic review of the two tools, passing through the gathering of information with the application of a technical research instrument (survey) to identify the selection criteria that companies have and finally designing the fuzzy multicriteria model. The results are based on the contributions provided by the model developed for the selection of suppliers, making its application viable, for companies that wish to choose to link the FAHP methodology to companies, concluding that it is an easy model adaptability for decisionmaking, showing that the selection of any type of criterion is taking more and more force, allowing companies to be at the forefront of technology.
