2004, MS, University of Cincinnati, Engineering : Industrial Engineering.
Recent change in the industry focus towards supply chain profitability improvement has made the field of supply chain management very attractive for the researchers. Supply chain is a complex network transferring material, information and funds across number of linked entities. The organizations are required to take significant number of strategic, tactical and operational decisions at various stages of supply chain. Supplier selection is one such crucial decision involving multiple objectives and conflicting trade offs. To choose most appropriate supplier from potential pool, it is first required to weigh their performance on relevant set of criteria and compare them meticulously. An exhaustive metrics with wide range of criteria focusing on all critical areas of supplier selection can be a valuable reference tool to the decision maker. Thesis work proposes supplier selection metrics applicable to various supply chain configurations such as make-to-stock, make-to-order and engineer-to-order. The metrics is versatile in a sense that it can be used for global as well as local supplier selection. Interpretive structural modeling is used for deriving hierarchical structure corresponding to levels of supplier-OEM integration. Supply chain operations reference model (SCOR) forms the basis for proposed metrics. Procedure to configure the selection metrics as per the organization’s goals and requirements is formulated to assist the decision maker. Decision making methodology using multi attribute utility theory is proposed for accounting quantitative (tangible) as well as qualitative (intangible) performance criteria under uncertainty. Illustrative example is presented to demonstrate the use of designed metrics and methodology.
