  • Evaluation of knowledge portal development tools using a fuzzy AHP Approach: The case of Taiwanese stone industry
    European Journal of Operational Research, 2007
    Co-Authors: Victor B. Kreng
    Abstract:

    The mission of Stone Industry Development Center (SIDC) at Taiwan attempts to promote the upgrading of the Taiwanese stone industry which recently has suffered a severe depression. After several years of technical developments, SIDC tends to shift focus to efficient use of existing knowledge/information. Consequently, a knowledge portal system (KPS) is expected to be a strategic tool to improve the competitiveness of the Taiwanese stone industry. This study proposes a fuzzy AHP Approach to help five domain experts individually evaluate three KPS development tools. Then, a technique to determine the weights of experts, which is used while aggregating group decisions, is addressed. Finally, the weighted geometric mean method is applied to reach the final decision.

  • An integrated BSC‐AHP Approach for supply chain management evaluation
    Measuring Business Excellence, 2007
    Co-Authors: Milind Kumar Sharma, Rajat Bhagwat
    Abstract:

    Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to develop an integrated balanced scorecard (BSC) analytical hierarchy process (AHP) Approach for supply chain management (SCM) evaluation. It aims to measure SCM performance from the following four perspectives: finance, customer, internal business process, and learning and growth.Design/methodology/Approach – The BSC is developed in the paper based on an extensive review of literature on SCM performance measures, supported by AHP analysis.Findings – The paper develops a BSC for SCM evaluation and proposes a method to prioritize the different performance levels in any organization using AHP methodology. It also suggests from the view of different decision levels and overall performance measurement that is the best BSC perspective.Practical implications – The integrated BSC‐AHP methodology developed in this paper provides useful guidance for practical managers in evaluation and measuring of SCM in a balanced way.Originality/value – This paper proposes a balanced perf...

  • Strategic sourcing: a combined QFD and AHP Approach in manufacturing
    Supply Chain Management: An International Journal, 2011
    Co-Authors: Prasanta Kumar Dey, Martin Lockström
    Abstract:

    Purpose – This paper aims to develop an integrated analytical Approach, combining quality function deployment (QFD) and analytic hierarchy process (AHP) Approach, to enhance the effectiveness of sourcing decisions. Design/methodology/Approach – In the Approach, QFD is used to translate the company stakeholder requirements into multiple evaluating factors for supplier selection, which are used to benchmark the suppliers. AHP is used to determine the importance of evaluating factors and preference of each supplier with respect to each selection criterion. Findings – The effectiveness of the proposed Approach is demonstrated by applying it to a UK-based automobile manufacturing company. With QFD, the evaluating factors are related to the strategic intent of the company through the involvement of concerned stakeholders. This ensures successful strategic sourcing. The application of AHP ensures consistent supplier performance measurement using benchmarking Approach. Research limitations/implications – The proposed integrated Approach can be principally adopted in other decision-making scenarios for effective management of the supply chain. Practical implications – The proposed integrated Approach can be used as a group-based decision support system for supplier selection, in which all relevant stakeholders are involved to identify various quantitative and qualitative evaluating criteria, and their importance. Originality/value – Various Approaches that can deal with multiple and conflicting criteria have been adopted for the supplier selection. However, they fail to consider the impact of business objectives and the requirements of company stakeholders in the identification of evaluating criteria for strategic supplier selection. The proposed integrated Approach outranks the conventional Approaches to supplier selection and supplier performance measurement because the sourcing strategy and supplier selection are derived from the corporate/business strategy.

  • A Fuzzy AHP Approach for Supplier Selection
    Operations and Supply Chain Management: An International Journal, 2014
    Co-Authors: Abhijeet K. Digalwar, Atul Borade, Bhimaraya A. Metri
    Abstract:

    Supplier selection is an integral part of supply chain management in any organization which is directly responsible for its success in market and if we see today’s highly competitive environment then it is pretty much difficult to find an effective and efficient supplier which can fulfill all organization’s need as required. Though there has been extensive research in supplier selection and quality management, but there has been less research in supplier selection/ evaluation under various conflicting/dependent criteria and sub criteria. To overcome this issue, Fuzzy-AHP a multi criteria decision making Approach is proposed. This allows the decision making in fuzzy environment to rule out the error caused due to vagueness in human thoughts.
