E-PROCUREMENT SYSTEM WITH EMBEDDED SUPPLIER SELECTION DSS FOR AN AUTOMOBILE MANUFACTURING INDUSTRY

This paper presents the development of Decision Support System (DSS) to enable the selection of best suppliers in an e-procurement process. The model base of the DSS incorporates the Online Analytical Processing (OLAP) and Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) techniques to shortlist and selects the best suppliers in a web environment. The e-DSS process is implemented using ASP and SQL server, for an Indian automobile manufacturing industry. The results obtained for supplier selection is competitive in terms of the quality and lead time of the chosen suppliers.
