Use of analytic network process in vendor selection decisions
TLDR
In this article, an analytic network process (ANP) model is proposed in evaluating supplier selection process as a framework to help managers, it is shown that ANP can be used as a decision analysis tool to solve multi-criteria supplier selection problems that contain interdependencies.Abstract:
Purpose – To provide a good insight into the use of analytic network process (ANP) that is a multiple criteria decision‐making methodology in evaluating supplier selection problems.Design/methodology/approach – Supplier selection problems are multi‐objective problems which have many qualitative and quantitative concerns. In this study, an ANP model is proposed in evaluating supplier selection process as a framework to help managers.Findings – It is shown that ANP can be used as a decision analysis tool to solve multi‐criteria supplier selection problems that contain interdependencies.Research limitations/implications – ANP is a complex methodology and requires more comparisons than the traditional AHP and it increases the effort.Originality/value – Provides an effective framework to guide managers for evaluating suppliers.read more

Strategic sourcing:a combined QFD and AHP approach in manufacturing
TL;DR: In this paper, an integrated analytical approach, combining quality function deployment (QFD) and analytic hierarchy process (AHP) approach, is proposed to enhance the effectiveness of sourcing decisions, in which QFD is used to translate the company stakeholder requirements into multiple evaluating factors for supplier selection, which are used to benchmark the suppliers.
