“…The results obtained indicate that wholesale turnover for the considered regions of Russia is insignificant when substantiating the differences in the volume of production. However, a lot of works suggest that it is the wholesale that contributes to the promotion of products in the market and its development is important for manufacturers (Sadigh et al, 2013;Wu et al, 2015;Zhang et al, 2017;Ge et al, 2018;Mittal et al, 2018). In the author's opinion, such results indicate an ineffective organization of the sales chain, which largely retained the shortcomings of the centralized distribution system of goods of the Soviet period.…”

“…Chakraborty et al (2018) indicate the hierarchical nature of the relationship between the suppliers and the customers. Sadigh notes that the coordination of all supply chain parts is a multilevel process (Sadigh et al, 2013). Thus, the sequence (production→distribution→ consumption) has all the properties of a hierarchy in which the results of a subsequent level depend on the activities of a higher level.…”

“…Many studies are aimed at determining the most effective path of motion of products from producers to consumers (Wu et al, 2015;Zhang et al, 2017;Mittal et al, 2018). The reason is that "a supply chain, an interrelating network of suppliers, manufacturers, distributors, and customers, plays an important role in competitive markets to satisfy customer demands" (Sadigh et al, 2013).…”

Purpose: The paper is aimed at extending the ideas about the functioning of distribution networks. The main objective of the research is to determine the extent to which the development of wholesale trade within the central places of the region and the incomes of the population have an impact on the volume of shipped goods in municipal areas. Design/Methodology/Approach: Hierarchical linear modeling (HLM) is used in this article. This method defines group and intergroup variation taking into account the multi-level nature of the processes. The variation in the volume of products shipped in municipalities is considered as a result of the influence of the factors at two levels: population incomes (municipal level) and wholesale trade turnover (regional level). The research is conducted on data obtained from 331 municipalities located in 7 constituent entities of the Russian Federation. Findings: The relevance of the constructed model indicates the possibility of application of the hierarchical analysis methods in the sales chain research. For 7 subjects of the Russian Federation under consideration, it was found that the role of distribution networks is small. Practical Implications: It is determined that in order to promote products it is required to pay attention to the role of the wholesale link in the development of production of the territories in question. The use of hierarchical analysis in market research makes possible to apply a balanced approach to the creation of favorable conditions in the development of public and private programs for market infrastructure development. Originality/Value: The use of hierarchical analysis methods in the research of sales chains expands the understanding of their functioning, since, unlike others, it makes possible to take into account the impact of the factors at several levels of their formation.

Supplier selection is considered to be one of the most critical activities of purchasing management in a supply chain. Selecting the right suppliers significantly reduces the purchasing cost and improves corporate competitiveness. Diverse methods have been developed to date, which address the needs of the supplier selection process. This article presents a review of non-deterministic analytical methods reported in the literature for supporting the supplier selection decision. The review is based on an extensive search in the academic literature from 2001 to 2013. A taxonomy of the supplier selection methods is presented by classifying the published supplier selection studies into two major categories as stochastic methods and fuzzy methods. These methods are further divided into individual approaches and integrated approaches. The objective of this research is threefold. First, it classifies the existing supplier selection literature according to the methods employed and determines the most prevalently used approaches, and also highlights main advantages and shortcomings of these approaches. Second, recent trends in supplier evaluation and selection methodologies are examined. Finally, this study identifies the most widely used decision criteria for supplier selection.
