In this paper, we address a problem in which a storage space constrained buyer procures a single product in multiple periods from multiple suppliers. The production capacity constrained suppliers offer all-unit quantity discounts. The late deliveries and rejections are also incorporated in sourcing. In addition, we consider transportation cost explicitly in decision making which may vary becaus...

Nowadays, the capability of cloud management suppliers is one of the important advantages for suppliers that can improve the performance and flexibility and reduce costs in companies through easy access to resources.

We studied a supplier selection problem, where a buyer, while facing random demand, is to decide ordering quantities from a set of suppliers with different yields and prices.We provided themathematical formulation for the buyer’s profitmaximization problem and proposed a solution method based on a combination of the active set method and the Newton search procedure. Our computational study show...

The research reported in this study investigates the initial development of a framework of supplier selection in the context of Taiwanese agribusiness. The importance of this research lies in the fact that although supplier selection has been researched across a range of industries, there is little evidence of its application to the agribusiness sector. From the existing literature, a prelimina...

The market-based approach to manufacturing supply network planning focuses on the competitive attitudes of various enterprises in the network to generate plans that seek to maximize the throughput of the network. It is this competitive behaviour of the member units that we explore in proposing a solution model for a supplier selection problem in convergent manufacturing supply networks. We pres...

This paper addresses the problem of a factor in supplier selection analysis which may be classified either an input or an output. The quantity of such a factor may influence the relative efficiency of the Suppliers. Despite the fact that there are several publications addressing dual-role factors, it seems that their idea of classifying a factor as an input or an output within a single model ca...
