공급사슬에서의 신경망을 이용한 지능적 공급업자 관리 방법

Abstract

To manage various suppliers in the supply chain is considered as a kind of crucial issues for effective supply chain management. Most studies about supplier management were mainly focused on the selection of some suppliers in candidate suppliers. However, it is sparse to manage various suppliers after selection of them. Especially, there are various uncertainties for each supplier as time goes on. Moreover, there are not enough data to analyze and evaluate each supplier just after selection of suppliers. Thus, it is very important to develop a new approach which can respond various changes and manage suppliers based on their cumulative data to efficiently manage suppliers. In this study, an intelligent approach for managing suppliers using neural networks is suggested and this approach is used to find an appropriate level of order quantity. In a numerical example, a proposed approach outperformed a previous approach without managing suppliers.
