Abstract: Supplier selection is an important constituent in supply chain management. Supply chain management emphasises on evaluation and selection of supplier against multiple criteria rather than cost as a single criteria. Multi criterion includes both qualitative and quantitative criteria. In this paper, we have proposed analytical hierarchy process model, to evaluate and rank the potential supplier, supplying copper component (busbar), to a multinational organisation, engaged in designing, manufacturing and delivering a range of products covering various stages of power transmission and distribution system. AHP is a four step decision analysis model which converts the qualitative factor of supplier transferred into the quantitative measure reliability and a decision making method for ranking alternative course of action when multiple criteria must be considered.

Keywords: supplier selection; supply chain management; SCM; analytical hierarchy process; AHP; qualitative criteria; quantitative criteria; multicriteria decision making; MCDM; copper components; busbars; multinational corporations; MNCs; power transmission. (search for similar items in EconPapers)
