Abstract
Coordinating business operation with suppliers becomes increasingly important to survive and prosper under the dynamic business environment. A good partnership with suppliers not only increase efficiency, but also strengthen corporate competitiveness. Associated with such concern, this study aims to develop a practical approach of multi-criteria supplier evaluation using combined methods of Taguchi loss function (TLF), best-worst method (BWM) and VIse Kriterijumska Optimizacija kompromisno Resenje (VIKOR). A new framework of integrative approach adopting these methods is our main contribution for supplier evaluation in literature. In this integrated approach, a compromised supplier ranking list based on the loss score of suppliers is obtained using efficient steps of a pairwise comparison based decision making process. Implemetation to the case problem with real data from crumb rubber industry shows the usefulness of the proposed approach. Finally, a suitable managerial implication is presented.
Highlights
Among all strategic decision involved along enterprises’ supply chain system, purchasing decision has a great impact on the overall system due to the fact that the cost of raw materials and component parts represents the largest percentage of the total product cost [1]
Supplier evaluation and selection are a crucial phase before supplier development
Several studies adopting multi-attribute decision making (MADM) techniques have been proposed in literature
Summary
Among all strategic decision involved along enterprises’ supply chain system, purchasing decision has a great impact on the overall system due to the fact that the cost of raw materials and component parts represents the largest percentage of the total product cost [1]. In practical decision making it is often found difficult to make a proper decision due to a complex and unstructured problem of supplier evaluation in nature involving quantitative and qualitative criteria simultaneously. To cope with such problem, enterprises can find utility in multi-attribute decision making (MADM) technique that can assist with evaluating and selecting suppliers. In this regard, several studies adopting MADM techniques have been proposed in literature. Liu & Zang [7] proposed a novel integrated method
