A Performance Evaluation System for Supply Chain Partners Using Fuzzy Clustering

Abstract

Supply chain is a coordinate operation model beyond space and location constraints, so the performance for supply chain partners is not easily amenable for measurement. In this paper, a new evaluation method using fuzzy clustering is put forward. It can perfectly deal with the inherent limitations of supply chain alliance and measure the overall performance during all the work phases of supply chain by linking the key factors from each partner of supply chain alliance. In order to illustrate the viability and adaptability of this method, an example of application is given by this paper.
