Supplier

Evaluation and Selection-L. Led & Company



The director of supply management at L. Led & Company has come to you regarding
your company’s sourcing strategy for a high volume, electronic component that most
of your company’s products rely on. Many different suppliers have the capability to
produce the component. In the past, your firm has used competitive bidding, but has
typically relied on three different suppliers. The Suppliers’ performance across the
four key areas is as follows:

Compo Damian Exeter
Price/unit $2.30 $2.50 $2.60
Quality 99.4% 99.2% 5000 PPM
Delivery on-time 95% on-time 99% on-time 98% on-time
Order cycle time 2 weeks 3 weeks 24 hours

The usage is 1,000,000/month. Your Manufacturing/Quality people have estimated


that the cost/defect is $5.00. Your stakeholders tend to have clear priorities: Quality
is required but budget is the most important criterion. As a matter of fact it is equally
important than the three other factors all together.
