Integrated methodology for supplier selection in supply chain management

Selection of potential supplier is a strategic decision taken by purchasing department which helps in ensuring a long term commitment between supplier and industry. Selection of supplier is a multi criteria decision making (MCDM) problem involving quantitative, qualitative, tangible and non tangible diverse criteria's. In this work a strategic frame work has been proposed which allows decision makers to consider more criteria's for supplier selection. In this paper an integrated method of modified Kano model and Weighted Aggregated Sum Product Assessment (WASPAS) method has been proposed. Kano model has been applied for criteria classification and importance weight to criteria's has been assigned by modified Kano model and WASPAS method has been applied for assigning ranks to suppliers A numerical example has been taken up to demonstrate the proposed methodology.
