Abstract
As the process of economic globalization, the management of supply chain is more and more important. In chemical industry, its characteristics decide that the management of supply chain is different to other industries such as the high requirement for transportation and the relative long supply chain. According to these characteristics, we analyze the existing studies to verify the importance of supplier management from the perspective of the coordination of multi-tier suppliers. In order selection rational multi-tier suppliers, the probability linguistic information is introduced to help the decision maker construct decision matrix and distance measure between two probabilities linguistic terms are defined to aggregate probability linguistic information to generate the final result. Then, the illustrative example is demonstrated by using the proposed probability linguistic information based assessment method.
