In today's competitive operating environment one of the chief factors in success of outsourcing is the suppliers. Hence, it becomes imperative for an organization to choose suppliers carefully who cater to its needs. In this paper, we have developed a hybrid approach dedicated to supplier selection problem; this approach combines the correlation coefficient and standard deviation (CCSD) method and the Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) method. In order to validate the model, an application is performed in a paper company. Numerical results of the problem are revealed to select the appropriate supplier among three ones, regarding 5 criteria, namely, price, quality, delivery, responsiveness to complaints, and responsiveness to emergencies.
