Abstract

Purpose-This research is to develop a distributed system with an innovative supplier selection approach within a mass customization environment. It helps manufacturers to identify appropriate suppliers for the components, materials and services required within the procedure of product design and manufacture. Design/methodology/approach- To identify the barriers for the supplier selection issues, current researches regarding the issues of supplier selection and mass customization have been reviewed. Based on the findings, the new supplier selection approach has been developed. Findings: Within the global manufacturing environment, conventional way of appraising suppliers cannot enhance manufacturers’ competitiveness advantage over their rivals. It is inevitable for manufacturers to identify appropriate competitive priorities for each of their potential market segments when designing products. Selecting appropriate suppliers is a fundamental issue to fulfill manufacturers’ development strategy. The approach will enhance supplier selection efficiency and flexibility under the mass customization environment, enabling manufactures to avoid or minimize risks when external conditions change.
