“…It is this approach that ensures that all DMUs are evaluated on the basis of relative efficiency (Easton et al 2002). DEA's total objectivity in the establishment of weights for the input and output measures is considered to be a further major benefit (Braglia and Petroni 2000). A further major advantage of the DEA technique is its versatility -it enables the analyst to use ordinal, discrete, interval and ratio variables side by side to construct a diagnostic model.…”

This research has responded to the need for diagnostic reference tools explicitly linking the influence of environmental uncertainty and performance within the supply chain. Uncertainty is a key factor influencing performance and an important measure of the operating environment. We develop and demonstrate a novel reference methodology based on the data envelopment analysis (DEA) for examining the performance of value streams within the supply chain with specific reference to the level of environmental uncertainty they face. In this paper, using real industrial data, 20 product supply value streams within the European automotive industry sector are evaluated. Two are found to be efficient. The peer reference groups for the underperforming value streams are identified and numerical improvement targets are derived. The paper demonstrates how DEA can be used to guide supply chain improvement efforts through role-model identification and target setting, in a way that recognises the multiple dimensions/outcomes of the supply chain process and the influence of its environmental conditions. We have facilitated the contextualisation of environmental uncertainty and its incorporation into a specific diagnostic reference tool.

“…Some others, put more emphasis on the "frequency" of evaluation [23]. There are some others who conceive the evaluation embedded within the selection, instead of that which is not [24][25][26][27]. A few authors have introduced the term "ranking" with a similar meaning [28] and there are even those who add a supplier segmentation stage, for categorizing the vendors after the selection process, so that different strategies can be adopted in each of the resulting segments, in the purchasing process [29].…”

Suitability of a Consensual Fuzzy Inference System to Evaluate Suppliers of Strategic Products

This paper designs a bidding and supplier evaluation model focused on strategic product procurement, and develops their respective evaluation knowledge bases. The model is built using the most relevant variables cited in the reviewed procurement literature and allows to compare two evaluation methods: a factor weighting method (WM) and a fuzzy inference system (FIS). By consulting an expert panel and using a two-tuples symbolic translation system, strong fuzzy partitions for all model variables are built. The method, based on central symmetry, permits to obtain the fuzzy label borders from their cores, which have been previously agreed among experts. The system also allows to agree the fuzzy rules to embed in the FIS. The results show the FIS method's superiority as it allows to better manage the non-linear behavior and the uncertainty inherent to the supplier evaluation process.

“…Quality has become a major concern for shippers, and the primary value sought by many shippers has shifted from price to quality service performance (Lagoudis et al, 2006). From the total quality management's point of view, high quality operations and service would result in lower costs for users (Braglia and Petroni, 2000). Timeliness refers to time-related performance in terms of transit time, frequency, responsiveness, reliability and agility.…”

than ever. From a microeconomic perspective, on the other hand, due to competitive pressures brought by consolidation in the manufacturing sector, firms tend to produce in places where resources are less expensive. Finding sources in lowering production cost has led to a situation where companies spread their production units across continents. These developments in the world economy have been accelerated owing to factors like the importance of economies of scale, geographical expansion and trade liberalisation, which in turn lead to increasingly globalised enterprise activities. Consequently, the manufacturing industry in global supply chains becomes more dependent upon shipping and ports in inbound as well as outbound logistics.Having acted as trade facilitators, seaports *) are important players in the freight transport system. The era of globalisation and global supply chain management (SCM) has led to the evolving roles of ports and port operators which are shaping
