Abstract

The paper raises the issue of evaluation and selection of suppliers in a large manufacturing company. Till now, the decision-making process in the company was based on the human factor. The presented work was aimed at developing new suppliers selection system. That would make it possible to minimize costs of ordered materials. Solving the problem of optimization is offered by Tabu Search and greedy algorithms. The tuning process of algorithms and the verification of algorithm performance are reported in the paper.
