Abstract: The objective of the study is to the evaluation of factors affecting the productivity of garment manufacturing industries through a combination of the Fuzzy AHP-Fuzzy TOPSIS method.. five alternative systems and eight Criteria, within a specific product context with a structured questionnaire to the random selected industry, collected quantitative data about the alternative and the criteria and the products manufactured on the systems, and the analysis is done through micro soft excel solver and Visual PROMETHEE software. In this study, a two-phased research method has been projected to find out some governing factors affecting productivity under un-certainty conditions, in particular to FAHP. It has been used for evaluating criteria weights and ranking the criteria. Among the eight criteria, low inventory level control and work in progress are the most important factor. In FAHP and FTOPSIS for selection of the best practices of the production system, is the first one the modular production system and the second one is the unit production system. The normalized weights of the alternative production system are MPS (0.2558), UBS (0.2152), MTS (0.1962), PBS (0.1772), and SLS (0.1558).
