Abstract

Decision making related to select partners, considering the strategic nature of decisions related to information sharing in partnerships, is essential. This chapter proposes a general and systematic model related to decisions of partnerships management. The model is focused in the strategic decision of partner’s choice for information sharing, under an MCDA perspective, which helps to avoid the bullwhip effect in supply chain management. Thus, it is shown that is possible the suppliers’ categorization in levels of partnerships driving suitable suppliers to share information in appropriate ways. A numerical application is presented to illustrate the application of the model.
