A QUANTITATIVE MODEL OF PARTNER SELECTION BY CONSIDERING DEMAND UNCERTAINTY

摘要：

In a supplier-buyer relationship, the partner selection process becomes an important strategic decision. Most of the papers in partner selection did not incorporate operational planning in this strategic decision. Con sider the buyer building some arbitrary product to meet anticipated customer demand. Since future demand is usually uncertain, planning and procurement must wrestle with the task of setting plans at the right level and procuring the appropriate material. Subsequently, demand uncertainty is one of the important factors that make significant impacts to a supply chain performance. This paper addresses the issue of demand uncertainty as one of the operational factors which is emerged to be considered in partner selection strategic process. Two criteria are considered in partner selection, i.e. cost and delivery time. Mathematical modeling and numerical examples are given to illustrate the impacts of demand uncertainty in partner selection. The research is directed to develop a framework of operational entities impacted by demand uncertainty for the future re search.
