Abstract

Supplier selection is an important activity within the purchasing function. The main objective of supplier selection is to identify high-potential suppliers who meet the firm’s continuity and price effectiveness needs. The right choices about suppliers improve the customer satisfaction and competitiveness while reducing costs. In this study, Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), TOPSIS and K-means methods are used to solve supplier selection and evaluation problem. The criteria are weighted using AHP and then these weights are used as input of TOPSIS method. The suppliers ranked according to weighted scores using TOPSIS are divided into subsets with K-means method. Instead of selecting the best supplier, it is aimed to generate the infrastructure to prepare effective procurement plan clustering the suppliers who have similar characteristics by using Kmeans method with AHP and TOPSIS methods

TEDARİKÇİ SEÇİMİ İÇİN BİR KARAR DESTEK SİSTEMİ

Abstract

Tedarikçi seçimi, satın alma fonksiyonu içerisinde oldukça önemli bir faaliyettir. Tedarikçi seçiminin başlıca amacı, firmanın süreklilik ve fiyat etkinliği ihtiyaçlarını karşılayan yüksek potansiyelli tedarikçilerin belirlenmesidir. Tedarikçiler konusunda yapılacak doğru tercihler satın alma maliyetlerinin azaltırken, müşteri memnuniyeti ve rekabet yeteneğini artırır. Bu çalışmada, tedarikçi seçimi ve değerlendirme probleminin çözümü için Analitik Hiyerarşi Prosesi (AHP), TOPSIS ve K-ortalamalar yöntemleri kullanılmıştır. Değerlendirme kriterlerin ağırlıkları AHP ile belirlenmiş ve bu ağırlıklar TOPSIS yönteminin girdisi olarak kullanılmıştır. TOPSIS ile ağırlıklı puanlarına göre sıralanan tedarikçiler K-ortalamalar yöntemi ile alt kümelere ayrılmıştır. En iyi tedarikçiyi seçmek yerine, K-ortalamalar yönteminin AHP ve TOPSIS yöntemleri ile birlikte kullanımıyla benzer özellikleri olan tedarikçileri kümelendirerek etkin tedarik planlarının hazırlanması hedeflenmiştir.
