A Novel Partner Selection Algorithm Based on GA and Fussy Decision-Making in Manufacturing Extended Enterprise

A novel partner selection algorithm by stages in manufacturing Extended Enterprise was presented based on the Genetic Algorithm (GA) and fussy decision-making. After a mathematic model had been built based on the economy, GA was used to seek the results and reduce the seeking range of partners. The decision was finally decided based on the results of GA on the theory of fussy decision-making and considering the other factors. In this method, the partner selection problem of large scale enterprise can be solved by the knowledge of mathematics and experience.
