What is it about?
CAPARO India Ltd., a leading player in the automotive components industry in India, wished to restrict the number of logistics service provider to one. Currently the firm is dealing with seven logistics firms that restricts negotiation power, service commitments, customer satisfaction and leads to higher transportation cost and time delays due to multiple points of contact.

Perspectives
The Caparo case beautifully highlights the application of AHP - a multi-criteria decision making tool to select one logistics vendor out of seven. Provides the reader the basis of selecting the criteria and ranking them as per their importance.
