Selecting a suitable outsourcing service provider is a challenging problem that requires discussion among a group of experts.The problems of this type belongs to the area of multicriteria decision-making.Interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy sets, which are an extension of intuitionistic fuzzy sets, are a capable tool in modeling uncertain problems.In this paper we will formulate an optimal interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy multicriteria decision-making problem in outsourcing and propose a new approach for the selection of the most appropriate candidates; as well as a software program for its automated solution, based on our previous libraries.As an example of a case study, an application of the algorithm on real data from a refinery is demonstrated.
