Purpose

This study aims to establish a robust evaluation framework for suppliers within the automotive supply chain, specifically in the stamping sector. The primary objectives are to elucidate the performance criteria of suppliers, identify indicators and scales for measuring these criteria and find the importance of the criteria.

Design/methodology/approach

The evaluation framework comprises a criteria hierarchy and indicators developed based on the evaluation criteria of major automotive manufacturers. Specific indicators and measurement scales are recommended for assessing suppliers. Importance weights for the criteria are assigned based on the input of nine experts using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). Finally, four sheet metal stamping tooling (SMST) suppliers are evaluated by four specialists using the proposed evaluation framework.

Findings

The study introduces a novel classification of criteria, encompassing financial and commercial perspectives, delivery capability, supplier facility and cultural approaches and business process necessities. The findings underscore the significance of financial and commercial stability in the selection of SMST suppliers, emphasizing their role in mitigating risks associated with disruptions, bankruptcies and unforeseen events. Additionally, several SMST evaluation factors identified in this study contribute to the development of resilience capabilities, highlighting the crucial importance of their inclusion and assessment in the proposed evaluation framework.

Originality/value

This research presents a comprehensive model for evaluating SMST suppliers, which tackles the multidisciplinary challenges within the automotive supply chain. Given the inadequacy or nonexistence of current SMTS selection models, this study bridges the gap by exploring potential and necessary criteria, alongside 116 specific indicators and measurement scales.

基于AHP的汽车冲压件供应商评估框架

 目的

本研究旨在为汽车供应链内的供应商（特别是冲压行业）建立一个稳健的评估框架。主要目标是阐明供应商的绩效标准，确定衡量这些标准的指标和尺度，并找出这些标准的重要性。

设计/方法论/途径

评估框架包括根据主要汽车制造商的评估标准制定的标准层次和指标。建议采用具体的指标和衡量尺度来评估供应商。标准的重要性权重是根据九位专家使用层次分析法 (AHP) 的输入来分配的。最后，四位专家使用建议的评估框架对四家钣金冲压模具 (SMST) 供应商进行评估。

 发现

该研究引入了一种新颖的标准分类，包括财务和商业观点、交付能力、供应商设施和文化方法以及业务流程必要性。调查结果强调了选择 SMST 供应商时财务和商业稳定性的重要性，强调了它们在减轻与中断、破产和不可预见事件相关的风险方面的作用。此外，本研究中确定的几个 SMST 评估因素有助于发展复原能力，强调了将其纳入和评估在拟议的评估框架中的至关重要性。

 原创性/价值

这项研究提出了评估 SMST 供应商的综合模型，解决了汽车供应链中的多学科挑战。鉴于当前 SMTS 选择模型的不足或不存在，本研究通过探索潜在和必要的标准以及 116 个具体指标和测量尺度来弥补差距。
