Development of the supplier selection model—a case study in the advanced technology industry

Abstract

Because of the pressure of globalization in the last two decades, outsourcing activities has become an important strategic decision so that supplier selection is a prime concern. In fact, the selection problem is more crucial for the manufacturers of sophisticated semiconductor assembly equipments, as it is a multi-item, multi-person and multi-criterion decision problem. Among the reported literature, the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) has been recognized as an appropriate tool to tackle the said problem. In this paper, a case study is reported to illustrate an innovative model which adopts AHP and quality management system principles in the development of the supplier selection model. The proposed model can provide not only a framework for the organization to select supplier but also capability to deploy the company strategy to suppliers. Added to this, it also has flexibility to respond to the changing needs of the organization due to dynamic business environment. Through an illustration of the proposed model, it is found that the supplier selection problem can be solved in a structural and timely manner.

“…Son sıraya baktığımızda ise, üretim kapasitesi ve servis imkanları gelmektedir. Bu sonuçlar, daha önceki araştırmalarda önem derecesi daha yüksek seviyede gerçekleşen karar kriterleri ile benzerlik göstermektedir (Dağ-deviren, Eren, 2001: 50;Chan, Chan, 2004: 1823Tseng, Lin, 2005: 201;Pi, Low, 2006: 626;Özel, Özyörük, 2007: 421;Ho vd., 2010: 217). Özellikle savunma sanayi açısından uçuş ve diğer silah sistem faaliyetlerinin faal olarak istenilen seviyede gerçekleşmesinde önemli bir rolü olan kalite kriteri ile teslimat miktar ve zamanının en öncelikli çıkması da çalışma sonuçlarının savunma sistemleri açısından uygulama alanındaki güvenilirlik yönünden önemini ortaya koymuştur.…”

Supplier Evaluation System Generation: A Case Of an Automotivespare-Parts Supplie

“…Besides that area, supplier development issues have also received a considerable attention from the academics (Watts and Hahn, 1993;Krause, 1997;Krause and Ellram, 1997). Industry specific purchasing and supplier management studies are also common in the literature (Choi and Hartley, 1996;Lambert et al, 1997;Chan and Chan, 2004) and more specifically automobile industry has been the focus of some supplier studies (Choi and Hartley, 1996;Schmitz and Platts, 2004;Tang,and Qian, 2008).…”

A goal programming approach for supplier evaluation and demand allocation among suppliers

“…There cannot be a single hierarchy for most of the supplier-selection problems. The reliability of the outcome depends not only on the quality of the data but also on the knowledge and judgements of decision-makers (Chan and Chan, 2004).…”
