Supplier Selection and Order Quantity Allocation: A Comprehensive Model
TLDR
In this article, a mixed integer programming approach is proposed to solve the supplier selection problem and the modelSUPPSEL (Supplier Selection) simultaneously decides the set of suppliers and order quantity allocations among them.Abstract:
SUMMARY
In today's competitive environment, it is extremely difficult to successfully produce high quality, low cost products without considering a satisfactory set of suppliers. A useful approach to ensure the reliability of a manufacturer's supply stream is to follow a multiple sourcing policy. Mathematical programming techniques lend themselves nicely by providing optimal solutions to several instances of the problem. However, a recent review of supply selection methods (Weber et al. 1991) identified very few articles that have proposed mathematical programming techniques to analyze supplier selection decisions. Given the economic importance and inherent complexity associated with the supplier selection problem, this article proposes a mixed integer programming approach to solve the supplier selection program. The modelSUPPSEL (Supplier Selection) simultaneously decides the set of suppliers and order quantity allocations among them.read more

Customer‐supplier duality and bidirectional supply chains in service organizations
TL;DR: The concept of customer-supplier duality is introduced in this article, which states that one of the primary suppliers of process inputs is the customer themselves, who provide their bodies, minds, belongings, or information as inputs to the service processes.

Pivot and Complement–A Heuristic for 0-1 Programming
Egon Balas,Clarence H. Martin +1 more
TL;DR: Pivot and Complement as mentioned in this paper is a heuristic for finding approximate solutions to 0-1 programming problems that uses the fact that a 0 -1 program is equivalent to the associated linear program with the added requirement that all slack variables, other than those in the upper bounding constraints, be basic.

Preferences for single sourcing and supplier selection criteria
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the supplier selection criteria of purchasing managers who have a preference for single sourcing and those who have preference for multiple sourcing, and found substantial differences between the two on the importance of price, reliability of the product, technical support available, and total cost of a product in supplier selection.
