Research on the selection of construction supplier in the construction supply chain environment

Abstract

Guided by supply chain management thinking, the paper discusses the principles that the supplier evaluation index system should follow. Combined with the characteristics of the construction works, a specific index system is established. After the comparison of several evaluation methods, the paper points out that the grey relational analysis is more suitable for selecting construction suppliers. In the last part of the paper, a numerical example is used to illustrate the rationality and feasibility of the method. The content stated in the paper provides scientific basis for construction enterprises to select suppliers. © 2014 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg..
