Abstract

Supplier preference problems and raw material ordering and forwarding problems are very common in real life. In this paper, we quantify and analyze suppliers using several indicators based on supply data, establish a supplier importance evaluation model based on the indicators, and build an optimization model by combining factors such as enterprise output, transshipment volume of transshipment providers, and raw material types to solve ordering and transshipment solutions that meet the problem. Based on the basic data, the 50 most important suppliers are identified on the basis of 402 suppliers and the results are given. In addition, for these suppliers, develop the most economical weekly ordering scheme for raw materials for the company for the next 24 weeks, and develop the least lossy transshipment scheme accordingly. An analysis of the effectiveness of the implementation of the ordering scheme and the transshipment scheme is carried out.
