.

Mr. Ajit Ahuja, the Purchase Manager, with a medium size engineering company, bitterly moaned in spite of having an elaborate system of record keeping and evaluating quantitatively the performance of his suppliers. Suppliers are evaluated on a variety of performance criteria. The criterion and their weightages are as follows: Sn Weightages (in %) 25 1. 2. 25 3. Criterion Quality Price Credit Availability Adherence to delivery schedule Service facilities Lead time 15 4. 15 5. 10 6 10 For the purchase of toggles, the company has had on its active list four suppliers whose records show the following: Sn D 1. 85 75 2. 16.5 19 Suppliers Factor A B Quality (% of parts accepted) 80 75 Price Per toggle (in Rs.) 17.5 16 Credit Facilities in days) extended 30 15 Adherence to delivery schedule (%) 70 75 Service Facilities Evaluation (%) 80 80 Lead Time in Week 2 4 3. 40 4. 70 45 85 70 3 5. 75 6. 1 Unfortunately, or fortunately, supplier B happens to be a customer of Mr. Ahuja's company's products- and a large customer too. For various reasons, B has failed to obtain orders from Mr. Ahuja and is now demanding reciprocal arrangements. "Listen Mr. Ahuja, I bet I am the most competitive supplier of Toggles. I have always provided you with an excellent after sales service and yet if you are not prepared to enter into a reciprocal arrangement, I am going to do my buying elsewhere.", argues supplier B
