A method has been proposed for the assessment of the value of interfirm relations in supply chains on the basis of the toolkit of the theory of fuzzy sets for qualitative and quantitative evaluation of non-parametric information which made it possible to transfer the linguistic evaluation of experts into the numerical one. A system of indicators has been identified for the assessment of the value of interfirm relations, taking into account quantitative and qualitative aspects of partnership.
