Integrated Supply Chain Management: A Collaborative System for Fabric Supplier Selection, Order Allocation, and Product Delivery

In today's dynamic and rapidly evolving business landscape, collaborative supply chain management has become a research hotspot in enterprise management. This paper aims to develop a comprehensive supply chain collaboration system by integrating the combination weighting method and multi-objective programming. The critical focus areas encompass fabric supplier selection, order allocation, and product delivery. An evaluation system tailored to the enterprise's characteristics is established for fabric suppliers to achieve this. The comprehensive weighting method is utilized to assign weights to evaluation indicators. The Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) is subsequently used to rank the suppliers. Additionally, considering the unique attributes of the clothing and textile industries, a model is developed for order allocation and product delivery. This model aims to minimize the overall expenses of the supply chain, maximize the weighted value of fabrics considering suppliers' priorities, and meet the order demand from distributors. The applicability and effectiveness of the proposed supply chain collaboration system are validated through actual case studies and the utilization of the Gurobi solver.
