A literature review of criteria selection in supplier

Abstract

Purpose: This paper proposes a new model for further research on how to select criteria in supplier selection, through a literature review and analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of previously used methods.Design/methodology/approach: The methods used to select criteria in supplier selection were extracted from various online academic databases. The weaknesses and advantages of these methods were then analyzed. Based on these findings, several opportunities for improvement are proposed for further research. Finally, criteria design methods for the selection of suppliers are proposed using statistical multi-criteria decision making (S-MCDM) methods.Findings: Direction and guidance for subsequent research to select the criteria used in supplier selection, based on the advantages and disadvantages of the decision methods used.Research limitations/implications: Limitations of this study are that it is focused on the methods of criteria design in supplier selection.Practical implications: This study can provide a research direction on the selection of criteria for supplier selection.Social implications: This study provides ongoing guidance and avenues for further research.Originality/value: New ideas for working out the developmental strategy for criteria selection are provided by statistical MCDM methods in supplier selection.

Assessing and Selecting Sustainable and Resilient Suppliers in Agri-Food Supply Chains Using Artificial Intelligence: A Short Review

“…In the current context, it is necessary to include in this process criteria that increase the sustainability and resilience of the supply chain. Several articles have analyzed the main criteria [7] and the main methods and techniques applied in the literature for the evaluation and selection of suppliers. The research [9] analyses 170 articles and concludes that the main techniques for supplier selection are multi-criteria techniques (MCDM), mathematical programming, and artificial intelligence techniques.…”

“…<Authors> This challenge is greater in some types of supply chains, for example, in agri-food supply chains, where their characteristics, including the management of perishable products [6], require, among others, rapid and efficient decision-making. Therefore, the evaluation and selection criteria for suppliers must reflect these needs and techniques must be used that allow managing of a lot of information and the reduction of uncertainty [7], which is why artificial intelligence techniques are appropriate.…”

Applications of VIKOR Methodin Supplier Selection: A Meta-Regression Analysis

“…Although the majority of the research articles in the relevant field (manufacturing, service etc.) explain how decision criteria are identified, they often focus on the second stage in the supplier selection process (Ristono, 2018). This section includes a literature review regarding the three stages of the supplier selection.…”

“…Previously, while quantitative criteria were mostly used to evaluate suppliers, qualitative criteria also gained significance after the 1990s. Kar (2014) and Ristono et al (2018) conducted a systematic literature review related to supplier criteria, and they listed more than 60 general criteria such as past performance, price, geographical distance, product quality, number of errors, on-time delivery, technological capacity, quality management, production capacity, cost, relationship, information technology standards, delivery compatibility, delivery duration, sales force, warranty and proximity, responding to the needs, repairs and services.…”

Selecting the Optimal Green Agricultural Products Supplier: A Novel Approach Based on GBWM and PROMETHEE II

“…The evaluation criteria are the most representative summarized from the existing literature on green supplier selection, as well as combining with the company's situation in the reality. Then, the selected six criteria are determined as follows [42,43]: price of green agricultural product (C 1 ); quality of green agricultural product (C 2 ), production capacity and technology (C 3 ), delivery (C 4 ), environmental management (C 5 ), and design for environment (C 6 ).…”
