The Construction and Implementation of Assessment Indicator System of Suppliers Based on Fuzzy Integral

The purposes of the current study are to analyze the factors influencing the selection of suppliers, develop the models of supplier assessment. For demonstration, an example is given to confirm the feasibility and flexibility of the proposed method and process. Since the criteria of cost, quality, and delivery are the most important factors for supplies buyers, how to evaluate the suppliers and choose the best one to build a long-term partnership has become a significant strategic selection for shaping competitive advantage for practitioners of industry. The study reviewed the relevant literature and conducted a survey on many supplies firms to collect data and develop the indicator systems and models for assessing eligible suppliers. By using fuzzy integral, we developed multicriteria system of assessment for the choosing of qualified supplier. Besides, the procedures through which the input and output of the data for selecting and assessing the candidate suppliers was implemented. The proposed method and process of supplier selection are with both theoretical value and practical contributions. They can significantly simplify the process of supplier selection and enhance the efficiency of purchasing as well as the quality of decision-making
