Supply Chain Management (SCM) is an integrated process of decision making from supplying raw materials to consume final product by final customers. Selecting of most appropriate suppliers is one of the most important decision making problems affected by different qualitative and quantitative parameters. As supply chain gets more complex, uncertainty and risk level in the supply chain would increase. Hence supply chain risk management, especially supplier risks, has become a major issue in the organizations. In this study at first by identifying suppler risks in the steel industries using blast furnace, a hierarchical classification of risks (38 risk events in 3 levels) was developed. At the second step, by considering risk events set, a group of nine evaluation criteria was proposed. Afterward for more accurate assessment of each supplier risks, a composite risk index is proposed based on the evaluation criteria and their importance weights. Finally, by employing the ELECTRE III, the priority of suppliers (mines) of Esfahan Steel Company was evaluated and the most appropriate one was determined. Based on obtained results, Jalal-Abad and Shargh-Iran iron ore complexes can be considered as suppliers having lowest and highest risk levels, respectively.
