To select the best Third-Party Logistics(TPL) transportation suppliers(companies) it is essential to make a trade off between quantitative and qualitative factors. When many constraints exist, choosing the companies becomes more complicated. In this paper an integration of an analytical hierarchy process and multicriteria goal programming is proposed to consider both quantitative and qualitative factors in choosing the best transportation companies within constrained environment. First, through the previous studies, we derive important factors and priorities by applying Analytic Hierarchy Process(AHP). Then, along with the results obtained by AHP, to choose the best transportation companies we establish multicriteria Goal Programming(GP) model considering fixed, total and transportation cost,rate of damaged goods and rate of delayed goods as major criteria. We also derive optimal quantities of goods transported from each selected transportation company to destinations based upon the proposed method.
