IMPROVEMENT OF THE SYSTEM OF SELECTION AND ASSESSMENT OF GOODS SUPPLIERS
The supplier choice is one of the main issues encountered when purchasing goods. In the market there are many suppliers producing similar products, so the solution to the problem of their identification and selection is especially relevant. Currently, the methodology for ranking and selecting suppliers, considering their quality characteristics, is not regulated. The article presents the results of an analysis of a few scientific works in order to identify the main criteria that affect the choice of suppliers, as well as methods for their evaluation. Mostly in practice, the rating method is applied, as the most simple and convenient to reproduce. For ranking the evaluation criteria by the degree of their influence on the supplier choice, the procedure for normalizing their weight indicators is applied. It is noted that for choosing a supplier, the criterion of pricing policy is fundamental. At the same time, a diverse composition of the criteria and weight indicators is observed in scientific papers, and there is no single terminology. For solving this problem, the development and implementation of a standard is proposed that includes a unified methodology for the selection and evaluation of suppliers. It is planned to include the developed methodology in a software product - an aggregator of suppliers for automating the selection procedure for trusted suppliers and subsequent monitoring of the results of their activities.
