“…This proves earlier studies that state that quality is an important criterion for vendor evaluation (Tam & Tummala, 2001). Tahriri, Osman et. al (2008) support the results of this study since they also suggested that quality is an important criterion followed by delivery, cost and responsiveness of the vendors.…”

“…This is because substitution of the partners has become a common practice in the industry in order for companies to improve their performance and meet the multiple market conditions (Mowshowitz, 1997). The vendor's involvement in research and development activities helps the company with continuous improvement (Tahriri, et al, 2008). A longterm relationship with the vendor is crucial for a firm to be able to effectively fulfill the demands of the customers (Kannan & Tan, 2002).…”

Terms of use: Documents in ABSTRACTTo improve a firm's supply chain performance it is essential to have a vendor evaluation process to be able to showcase an organization's success in the present aggressive market. Hence, the process of evaluating the vendor is a crucial task of the purchasing executives in supply chain management. The objective of this research is to propose a methodology to evaluate the vendors for a steel pipe manufacturing firm in Gujarat, India. For the purpose of the study, the Analytical Hierarchy Process was used to evaluate the best raw material vendor for this company. Multiple qualitative and quantitative criteria are involved in the vendor evaluation process. To solve the complex problem of vendor evaluation, a tradeoff between these multi-criteria is important. The outcomes indicated that the AHP technique makes it simpler to assign weights for the different criteria for evaluating the vendor. Research findings showed that quality is the most important criterion followed by delivery, cost and vendor relationship management.

“…The AHP model is a commonly quantitative approach used for supplier selection in many industries [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13]. ANP models are also applied to solve the same type of problem on SCM as AHP model [14][15][16], which is a network analysis method that considers hierarchy and interactions.…”

Fuzzy Optimization Model for Decision-Making in Supply Chain Management

et al. 2021

Choosing a supplier is a complex decision-making process that can reduce the total cost of production inputs and increase profits without increasing the price or sacrificing product quality. However, supplier selection processes usually involve multiple quantitative and qualitative criteria which increase the complexity of the problem and may decrease the accuracy and effectiveness of the process. Such complex decision-making problems can be supported by using multicriteria decision-making (MCDM) models. While there have been multiple MCDM models to support supplier selection processes in different industries and sectors, only a few are developed to support the supplier selection processes in the garment industry, especially under uncertain decision-making environment. This paper presents an integrated mathematical model under a fuzzy environment and applies it to the supplier selection process in the garment industry. In this research, the authors utilize the Buckley extension based fuzzy Analytical Hierarchical Process (FAHP) method in combination with linear normalization based fuzzy Grey Relational Analysis (F-GRA) method to develop a MCDM approach to the supplier selection process under a fuzzy environment. As a result, supplier 08 (SA08) is the optimal supplier. The contribution of this work is to propose an MCDM model for ranking potential suppliers in the garment industry under a fuzzy environment. The proposed approach can also be applied to support complex decision-making processes under a fuzzy environment in different industries.

“…The biggest challenge with the process for many organizations is that, it involves many conflicting criterion which cost of both qualitative and quantitative metrics. Tahriri, F., et al, 4 explained that being a multi criteria decision problem, trade-offs among multiple criteria is a common practice. This is because each supplier will portray different traits based on the criteria's used.…”

Supplier evaluation and selection process is an important activity in supply chain. However, for man y organizations the process is a big challenge because it is a multi-criteria decision problem leading to tradeoffs. As such several criteria and methods have been devised for the process. Researchers have proposed criteria that should be considered when selecting and evaluating suppliers and the importance of each criterion in the process. Also various methods have been suggested to ease the supplier evaluation and selection process. However, the challenge has been on which criteria and method are most suitable given the supplier evaluation and selection process varies from one organization to another. Hence the focus of this review is to shed light on the most important supplier evaluation and selection criteria and method to use.
