“…The need of customization also includes the list of attributes to be considered. Even if in the literature a wide set of attributes have been proposed (Ha and Krishnan, 2008;Dickson, 1966;Weber et al, 1991), the application has highlighted that these attributes can be considered generic and/or abstract. However it should be pointed out that, thanks to the flexibility of the approach, the model is easily adaptable to the evaluation of different components by systematically reproducing the stages of the procedure.…”

“…Traditionally, supplier evaluation was fundamentally based on financial measures; recently, more and more emphasis has been devoted to other aspects, bringing multiple criteria into the evaluation process (De Boer et al, 2001). Dickson (1966) listed the most utilized criteria for SS. The analysis showed that price, quality, delivery and performance history could be considered the most important criteria.…”

“…Step S1-Model identification and definition of the hierarchical framework This step was performed by merging some insights coming from the literature (Dickson, 1966;Weber et al, 1991) with specific requirements pointed out by the AB management (including executives from both the departments), after a thorough consultation with their final customer. The final result of the process was represented by the identification of 15 criteria which were grouped according to the hierarchical framework indicated in Figure 3, considering 4 main criteria (C16: Quality performance history; C17: Service level; C18: Organization and innovation; C19: Financial position) at first level.…”

In firms operating in low-complexity sectors, Supplier Selection generally leverages on few significant variables (price, delivery time, quality) and it is often left to the buyers' experience. On the other hand, in industries characterised by remarkable product complexity, supplier selection systems gain the characteristics of a multistakeholder and multi-criteria problem, which needs to be theoretically formalized and realistically adapted to specific contexts. An increasing number of researches has been devoted to the development of different methodologies to cope with this problem. Nevertheless, while the number of applications is growing, there is little empirical evidence of the practical usefulness of such tools, that are mainly tested on numerical examples or computational experiments and focused on a dyadic version of the problem, overlooking the wider set of actors involved in the decision-making problem. The result is a clear dichotomy between academic theory and business practice. Therefore, the paper contributes to understand the above dichotomy by evaluating the applicability to real-world multi-stakeholder problems of the two main approaches proposed in the literature to deal with supplier selection, the Analytic Hierarchic Process (AHP) and the Fuzzy Set Theory (FST). Based on an industrial case study, a thorough discussion is developed, dealing with the issues arising during the implementation and practical functioning of such decision support systems, also providing provide practical guidelines and managerial implications.Keywords: supplier selection, analytic hierarchy process, fuzzy set theory, complex industries.

“…Dickson (1966) conducted a survey and presented 23 different criteria to be considered so as to perform an appropriate supplier performance evaluation. Hu (2004) analyzed 24 papers published after 1991 and discovered that price, quality, production capacity and delivery remain as the most important attributes of supplier evaluation techniques.…”

Previous studies have proven that enterprises addressing green supply chain management problem may produce an apparent improvement to their stockholder interests. According to the report of Kearney (Carbon Disclosure Project: supply chain report 2010. CDP, London, 2010), more than 80 % of the carbon emissions are generated from the suppliers' activities in a company's performance. Many members of the project claimed that they will reassess their suppliers as soon as possible. Therefore, to combine the carbon management issue and supplier evaluating problem turns to be a very crucial work. Therefore, this study intends to develop a framework of the supplier evaluating process for carbon management by integrating fuzzy ANP and fuzzy TOPSIS approaches. Thirteen criteria of carbon management under four dimensions were identified by literature review and modified according to the opinion of seven experts in the environmental department. The model result in a case company shows that three of the most important criteria are ''carbon governance,'' ''carbon policy'' and ''carbon reduction targets.'' The proposed hybrid methodology has great ability to explain the vagueness of decision maker's expression and better discrimination power to evaluate suppliers in carbon management.

“…However, the boundary samples are not set for every part. Three conditions for setting the boundary sample are (1) when suppliers have been unable to control their production process; (2) when a defective part is identified and declared as clearly not meeting the standard, and (3) when the parts are in areas visible to customers.…”

Abstract-When faced with several alternatives, decision making is not simple. At an automobile manufacturer, the review boundary sample activity for reducing cost and maintaining the best quality for customers is complex; it requires criteria-based judgments, e.g., defect ratio, claimed history of customers' parts, and customer complaint history data. We propose a decision support system for this multiple criteria selection problem by applying the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) technique. Quality control engineers were surveyed to determine weights for criteria. With this system, the automobile manufacturer can use collected data to select alternatives. Even an inexperienced engineer can objectively identify the best selection.
