One of the most essential activities to create the appropriate supply chain is supplier selection process. The system must be capable of providing buyer's requirements in terms of quality products, at affordable prices and at the appropriate time and volume.
The nature of these decisions is usually complex and unstructured. In this study, self-organizing neural networks for decision making for the supplier selection decision is provided in a decision support system environment.
Using self-organizing neural networks as a clustering techniques, suppliers clustered. new supplier standards compared with spikes winner and will decide on accepting or rejecting provider. The output of the model is supplier selection and evaluation by appropriate conditions for new suppliers.

Paper manufacturing industry is one of the prominent and impactful industries in countries and societies. Leak of knowledge, awareness, information and etc. is affiliate to the existence of paper and without it, there is no chance of saving and recording the information. Each year a significant amount of paper is being produced and consumed in the world and the turnover of this industry is significant. In this research the focus is on paper industry and the providers of this service and we are seeking to prioritize the decisions based on merging of fuzzy model of second type with decision making of several complex dynamic indexes. With VIKOR in paper industry. First of all, 5 important decisions have been identified by the expertise in paper industry that includes 1) An attempt to include technology and new machines 2)Investigating on new products and diversification of products 3) Educating employees and managers 4) Organizing technical production, storage and managing the employers 5) Suitable pricing and advertising to attract new inside and outside consumers Also 6 criterions have been proposed to evaluate these decisions For evaluating the decisions, we have used the fuzzy VIKOR approach of type 2 and after going through research stages, decision number 1 and 2 gained the most priority.
