Supply chain management（SCM）is one of the most important competitive strategies for today’s enterprises. The major purposes of supply chain management lie in integrating a number of various suppliers in order to satisfy market demand. Meanwhile, supplier selection plays an important role in establishing supply chain. Traditional supplier selection method focuses on the requirements of individual enterprises, lacking in supply chain consideration. This study proposed a supply selection methodology based on supply chain integrated architecture. 　　In this article, we design a supplier selection procedure for supply chain. First, the criteria for supplier selection are proposed based on enterprise’s competitive strategy. Potential supplier’s screening, criteria’s weighting and supplier’s ranking are defined in the following step. This study uses data envelop analysis （DEA）to select efficient suppliers in the first stage, and use TOPSIS, a multi-attribute decision making（MADA）method, to rank the potential suppliers. Finally, textile industry is given to illustrate the model. 　　Because data envelope analysis has powerful function in supplier evaluation, inefficient suppliers are deleted exactly and quickly. Both supplier efficiency and potential risk are concerned by TOPSIS at the same time. Therefore the methodology proposed in this study is suitable for enterprise to select suitable suppliers and to increase business performance.
