Abstract

This paper proposes a multi-objective mathematical model to select the best suppliers of parts and products to improve vehicle quality and reduce costs. The results are presented in two sizes, and a sensitivity analysis of the demand parameter has been performed. For each of the medium and large sizes, the indices of the undefeated  Non-Dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm II (NSGA-II, including computational time, Maximum Spread Index (MSI), metric distance index, and the number of efficient solutions, have been calculated. The results show that the number of efficient solutions increases with problem size, indicating the high efficiency of the undefeated NSGA-II in finding efficient solutions for the supplier selection problem.

Keywords:

Supplier selection, Automotive industry, Multi-objective genetic algorithm, Non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm II
