MODEL ON RANKING MANUFACTURERS OF THE NETWORK IN THE AUTOMOTIVE PRODUCING SUPPLY CHAIN

Tóm tắt

In the automotive producing supply chain, there are many producers. Each plays a particular role in the process of manufacturing a complete product, a perfect car. It becomes crucial to determine which producer plays a more important role than the others and the rank of each producer in the chain. Then, from that point, the manager of the whole process is able know how to treat each of them in order to improve the quality of the produce and increase the interest of investors. The paper is going to model a basic automotive producing supply chain and to define the relative importance, or centrality, of a supplier in the whole supply chain network in automotive industry, and to understand how the most central suppliers to the production process behave differently. Based on the pagerank algorithm, we build a supplier-customer network matrix and computes the importance score of each company in a chain of the production process for a complete production in automotive industry.
