A Best-matching Protocol for Supplier Selection in E-work Networks
نویسنده
چکیده
A Best-Matching Protocol can give a company an upper hand in the supplier selection process by determining which one best satisfies the pre-defined quality and cost requirements. The Best-Matching Protocol developed enables better matches for geometrical specifications (e.g., physical components) as compared to random matches based on the evaluation of a new performance measure, Best-Fit Index [1], for which a small value is desired. Two statistical distributions, normal and uniform, were used for the generation of part specifications of physical components. A statistical analysis corroborated that the performance of the Best-Matching Protocol in yielding better matches for geometrical specifications, within allowed tolerance ranges, was consistent across both distributions. A double-match was also implemented using as input the normally-distributed matching results from the manufacturing scenario and the cost of different suppliers to produce and deliver the components. Finally, the Economic Value of a Match (EVM) enables the selection of the supplier(s) that better meet the quality and cost requirements.
