Single vs. multiple objective supplier selection in a make to order environment

Abstract: The problem of allocation of orders for custom parts among suppliers in make to order manufacturing is formulated as a single- or multi-objective mixed integer program. Given a set of customer orders for products, the decision maker needs to decide from which supplier to purchase custom parts required for each customer order. The selection of suppliers is based on price and quality of purchased parts and reliability of on time delivery. The risk of defective or unreliable supplies is controlled by the maximum number of delivery patterns (combinations of suppliers delivery dates) for which the average defect rate or late delivery rate can be unacceptable. Furthermore, the quantity or business volume discounts offered by the suppliers are considered. Numerical examples are presented and some computational results are reported.
