Abstract EN
Increasing reliance on outsourcing has made supplier selection a critical success factor for a supply chain/network.
In addition to cost, the synergy among product components and supplier selection criteria should be considered holistically during the supplier selection process.
This paper shows this synergy using coupled-attribute analysis.
The key coupling attributes, including total cost, quality, delivery reliability, and delivery lead time of the final product, are identified and formulated.
A max-max model is designed to assist the selection of the optional combination of suppliers.
The results are compared with the individual supplier selection.
Management insights are also discussed.
