Fuzzy Neural Network-based Manufacturing Enterprises Supplier Evaluation And Selection Model

As the rapid integration and globalization of world economic, the market competition between enterprises has been transformed to which between supply chains. The competitive advantage not only depends on the manufacturers, but also depends on the partnership which is set up with the external organizations. Therefore, supply chain management has become a new management pattern, which meets the requirements of global manufacturing and requirement diversification. Because of the source position of suppliers located in the supply chain, suppliers play an important role in the survival and development of manufacturers, and become an indispensable fact of manufacturers'competitive advantages. The selection of supplier is closely related to the costs of purchasing, which accounts for big proportion of a manufacturer's cost. The management of supplier is an important part of supply chain, which affects the integrity, continuity and coordination of supply chain.This paper introduced the concept of supply chain and supply chain management. Analyzed the concept of supplier management under the environment of supply chain management and the main factors of supplier selection, and introduced the principles of index system of supplier evaluation and selection. According to some principles, this paper proposed a supplier evaluation and selection criteria from the price, Viability, service level and degree of cooperation by referring the foreign and domestic relevant research of supplier evaluation and selection, made detailed instruction of the criteria and do qualitative and quantitative research on it. This paper created a supplier evaluation and selection model based on fuzzy neural network, introduced the principle of the model and methods of creating it. At last, an experiment Was made by use of MATLAB. The result of the experiment showed that the supplier evaluation and selection method based on fuzzy neural network is of high operability and good effect, which has certain value of application and reference.
