SUPPLIER DEVELOPMENT STRATEGIES : A DATA ENVELOPMENT ANALYSIS APPROACH Rohita

Supply Chain Management (SCM) adopts a systematic and integrative approach to manage the operations and relationship among different parties in supply chain. There are lots of issues for effective implementation of Supply Chain. One of the major issues is supplier development. Studies have investigated how quality management can be employed in SCM to improve performance in the whole supply network. This study will develop an application guideline for the assessment, improvement, and control of quality in SCM using Data Envelopment Analysis. Improvement in the quality of all supply chain processes lead to cost reductions as well as service enhancement. The data is collected from 25 suppliers of food and agro based industry.
