Evaluation and selection of software packages are among the important decisions in the manufacturing sector. Design and manufacturing software packages are integral components of manufacturing processes. Since different tangible and intangible criteria should be evaluated in the investment process, it is important to use a suitable multi-criteria decision-making method. This article presents a real case of evaluating and selecting a design and manufacturing software package considering the interdependencies among the selection criteria. The analytic network process was used for the analysis. A group decision setting was adopted and an aggregated decision was derived considering the relative influence of decision makers. The results were compared to the case where interdependencies were ignored. Furthermore, sensitivity analyses were performed to assess the impact of changes in the influence of decision makers and in the interdependencies between criteria on the final decision outcome.
