Abstract

Based on changing market conditions companies are more and more focusing on their core competencies while outsourcing supporting processes to their business partners. The outsourcing of business processes results in a strong dependency between companies and their business partners building so called value networks. In order to perform well in such value networks, the selection of both direct and indirect suppliers is of main importance. Potential supply networks need therefore to be identified and evaluated in order to strategically select the appropriate supply network. The selection of adequate supply networks, satisfying evaluation criteria defined by the OEM, is the topic of this paper. It builds on preparatory work done in the area of strategic supply network development, where the identification and dynamic modeling of strategic supply networks has been elaborated, and focuses on the evaluation of strategic supply networks providing the base for supply network selection.
