“…The researchers verified the application of PROMETHEE-II taking the real life data of two companies. Zolghadri et al (2011) presented the concept of power based evaluation and selection. According to the article, strong suppliers can exert more power to influence the product development process for their own benefits.…”

Supplier evaluation and selection has been a vital issue of strategic importance for long time. Different multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) approaches have been proposed by the researchers in past, to solve the supplier evaluation and selection problem. In this paper, we present a review of various MCDM methodologies reported in the literature for solving the supplier evaluation and selection process. The review is solely based on sixty-eight research articles, including eight review articles in the academic literature from 2000 to 2011. We try to find out the most prevalent approach in the articles and thereby present the future scope of arriving at an optimal solution to the problem, based on the specifications, the strategies and the requirements of the buyers. The study presents that with the change in processes and the requirements, how the approach of the manufacturing industry has shifted from striving for operational effectiveness to the strategic partnership in the dyadic relationship.

“…The adopted extended IDEF-QA approach, designed for the complexities of ETO uncertainty, aids those projects seeking to quantify the fit between their internal resources as the project evolves, or marginally eroding the output quality through inferior or underperforming resources. The underlying connections within such a resource/toolsbased perspective, enables managers to identify such 'hotspots' within the ETO tendering process in which it is most vulnerable in terms of reliability and uncertainty, both internally and across the supply chain when tenders are being created or customised (Grötsch et al, 2013;Zolghadri et al, 2011;Gosling et al, 2013b;). The sample case study also contributes to the applicability of the extended IDEF approach, developing the IDEF-QA using a traffic light representation, (e.g.…”

“…The IDEF-QA reflects on upstream activities and thus provided key information downstream, in order to establish the confidence of the process. For example, the initial installation and commissioning process within the ETO identified that performance data was currently unavailable to support the decision-making processes in project estimating, thus eroding the reliability of future tenders (Browning and Ramasesh, 2007;Zolghadri et al, 2011). Furthermore, the approach is based on sequentially assessing the quality of tools and resources.…”

This paper presents the dynamics of engineer-to-order (ETO) practice through Integration Definition for Function Modelling (IDEF) practice. The paper describes and defines how an ETO manufacturer utilised IDEF-QA in order to manage project uncertainties within the tendering process. The research is conceptualised through an empirical action research approach, involving an active role in the assessment of the ETO process. The paper revisits the use of IDEF, showcasing an assessment of output quality. It also suggests a road map for resource uncertainty within ETO, specifically when scoping the supply chain for ETO projects. The paper then presents an IDEF Quality Assessment model for improving the tendering process of ETO, and it examines the importance of evaluating project behaviour for supporting new future projects. The principal contribution is in how a structured approach provides IDEF with a quality assessment of resources, thereby consolidating and establishing a relationship for highlighting the uncertainties experienced by ETO manufacturers within the decision-making process.

“…Additionally, Kometa et al (1996) attributed the client's project priorities which is related to the clients criteria for success (Table 5, EC11). Kometa et al (1996) and Zolghadri et al (2011) explain the impact of the client's financial health on the project (Table 5, EC8) and explain that the choice of the supply chain has a direct impact on the client financial health. Rajakallio et al (2017) explain that construction clients are recommended to follow a perceived standard industry logic known as normative beliefs in psychology.…”

Common biases in client involved decision-making in the AEC industry

et al. 2019

Understanding of the constitution of client involved decisions is important for future improvements of the processes. Significant decisions in construction projects are reliant on heuristic processes where assumptions are developed from past experience. The paper presents a methodology to collect empirical data in an unstructured manner utilizing participant intuition and experience regarding project level collaboration, a term easily understood by practitioners. Empirical data collected from 6 focus group discussions in Norway and 18 individual interviews in Finland is associated with biases in decision making aimed at bridging the gap of understanding and literature's insufficient coverage. An analytic framework was developed to suit the diverse emergence of concepts to allow application of psychological principles in a structured manner to empirical data. The paper contributes by identifying types of cognitive and motivational biases in client involved decisions. The biases are found to be alleviated by one another depending on the particular application of the decision. Findings suggest that normative beliefs exist developed from past experience and habitual thinking. A number of emerged biases in this domain are alleviated from normative beliefs which are discussed in this paper.
