The selection of pharmaceutical suppliers is crucial for ensuring consistent drug availability and maintaining service quality in healthcare facilities. This study offers a comparative analysis of five Multi Criteria Decision Making methods (AHP, SAW, TOPSIS, VIKOR, and MABAC) applied to supplier evaluation based on four key criteria: price, delivery time, receipt accuracy, and product quality. Unlike previous studies that employed individual or dual methods, this research evaluates all five methods using the same dataset to assess consistency, sensitivity, and decision reliability. The results show strong ranking consistency across methods, with AHP and SAW producing identical outputs. TOPSIS and VIKOR offer similar outcomes based on proximity and compromise analysis, while MABAC demonstrates high discrimination power for mid-ranked suppliers. Sensitivity tests confirm ranking stability under moderate weight variations. This study provides practical recommendations for selecting appropriate decision methods in pharmaceutical procurement systems based on operational context and desired decision accuracy.
