Study On D Company’s Warehouse Vendor Selection

As the global economic integration for sustainable development and theincreasingly fierce market competition, many companies have chosenoutsourcing non-core business to enhance their products’ competitive powerwith lower cost and high efficiency. Logistics outsourcing like transportationand warehousing is one of these businesses. However, companies lackedoverall supply chain concept and expected too much of logistics vendorsduring the logistics vendors selection. Shortly thereafter, these vendors werereplaced frequently. This result was not consistent with the originaloutsourcing strategy which hoped for lower cost and high efficiency. So it isimportant and necessary for companies to set up a reasonable logistics vendorselection model.The subject of this paper is to help electronic company select warehousevendor. We researched companies’ current situation, relevant papers, and meanwhile considered the characteristics of electronic and logistics industry.Firstly, we built up the selection criteria index based on companies’ actualconditions. Secondly, triangular fuzzy number AHP and TOPSIS wereapplied to the model. Finally, a real case was studied to validate the model.The innovations of this paper were qualitative criteria combined withquantitative criteria, triangular fuzzy number AHP united with TOPSIS, andtaking price index into account.
