The e-supplier selection system performs October 28 2018 a major part for the successful running of any supply chain. Thus for effective running of any Accepted December 6 2018 Available online supply chain it is necessary to build a system for the selection of e-supplier. Building such a December 6 2018 decision support system software is important for the development of any decision support Keywords system efficiently with reduced cost time and effort. The current research is based on 8 criteria e-supplier and 52 sub-criteria by giving equal weightage to all of them. In this study the major criteria are Supplier selection disintegrated into small sub-criteria. To validate the results obtained through the proposed e-supply chain distance based approximation method the results are compared with other methodologies. Distance based approximation Finally with
