An Analytic Network Process Model for Engineering Device Procurement Evaluation

摘要

The ANP method is used in this paper to evaluate engineering device procurement. The evaluation criteria are given, their control hierarchy is built and weights are calculated. The evaluation can be carried out in four perspectives: the requirements, the finance, the supplier and the procurement procedure. The weights can be used in a semi-automatic evaluation process in which a group of dropdown lists is to be selected and the final evaluation score is the addition of the weighted score. The weight calculation is carried out in Excel and the evaluation can be carried out manually or in software.
