A Quantitative Supplier Selection Model Considering Relationships Between Suppliers

Abstract

Products are usually composed of various parts or subsystems. Therefore, when the structure of the product is defined in product development stage, it must be decided about purchasing or production of components and suitable suppliers must be selected for the components which must be purchased. Apparently, different interdependent components of products such as computers, machinery and automobiles must fit together to perform as anticipated in the final product. This means that the supplier selection should be made with regard to the final product as a whole.
In this study, supplier selection problem considering relationships between suppliers is surveyed using suppliers’ previous data. 
The results show that the proposed model has fewer costs for the buyer than the model that has not considered the relationships between suppliers.
