A Methodology For Supplier Selection
نویسندگان
چکیده
Many companies have changed their focus from short-term purchasing transactions to supply chain management, concentrating on developing long-term relations with suppliers. Thus, selecting a supplier commits the organization and its resources to an outsider for a long time, and any mistake in this selection adversely affects the stability of the organization. Moreover, the continual increase in the number of suppliers to be evaluated, the number of products produced and eventually the number of factors to be considered makes the supplier selection decision one of the most complex decisions facing today’s management. Given the economic importance and inherent complexities associated with the supplier selection problem, this paper presents the criteria used for selecting suppliers and then proposes a methodology for assisting the decision-maker.
