Implementation of Decision-Making Algorithms and Key Requirement Approach for Vendor Selection in Telecommunication Device Bidding

Abstract

The influence of perceived quality is a classic problem in a vendor selection process. To overcome this problem, many algorithms have been used in decision making. In this paper we have carried out the identification of planning team needs and the optimization of the bidding scheme using key requirements to minimize the influence of quality perceptions. The Kano Model Analysis method, the Analytical Hierarchy Process and Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to the Ideal Solution are used to analyze and determine the key requirements in the bidding process for telecommunications equipment needed by the planning team. Vendor selection based on key of requirements specifications is carried out in six stages, namely the preparation stage, requirements search, selection of Key of Requirements specifications, vendor selection, accuracy testing and conclusions. The results of the analysis show that the need for new planning and architecture of telecommunication service providers can increase to NFVi and services. An important criterion for NVFi (Hardware) development is Virtual Infrastructure Management (VIM) with a weight of 22%, while the service criteria are Fixed Services with a weight of 50.94%. Based on the analysis results, the preference value of each telecommunication equipment vendor (supplier) is also obtained.
