Research On The Indirect Materials Vendor Evaluation In J Company

The indirect material purchase has not caught the adequate attention in a company for a long time.As the profit margin of direct material has become smaller,and at the same time,labor will be replaced by the automation equipment in the near future,the indirect material purchase will play a great important role in cost reduction and productivity increase,and should be taken seriously.This thesis intends to research for the improvement of the indirect material vender evaluation systems of company J.The main problems of the evaluation systems are lack of differentiation management and the evaluation indexes are too simple.On the basis of the theoretical knowledge of the relevant literature in the area of supply positioning model and indirect vender evaluation,the thesis will apply the Analytic Hierarchy Process(AHP)to develop the supply positioning model as to let the classification of the indirect material and the vender can be conducive to the development of J Company.After the supply positioning model is developed,the vender evaluation systems for the indirect material in each quadrant can be built differentially.And for the improvement of the simple indexes,the thesis takes the vender of the balancing machine as the research object,to deeply analyze how to use AHP to build up the vender evaluation index systems and calculate the index weight.The analysis method and the solutions provided in this thesis not only improve the indirect material vender evaluation systems in company J,but also can be applicable to related industries.
