| description | <p><strong>Purpose:</strong> Optimal order allocation on the part of the buyer in a multi-supplier environment has become a major concern in supply chains. There are numerous articles that analyze and present models for optimizing order allocation from a given panel of suppliers. The purpose of this paper is to provide an analysis on this topic which considers: (i) aims, (ii) results, (iii) model complexity, and (iv) resolution procedures.</p> <p><strong>Design/methodology/approach:</strong> The paper reviews twenty-eight articles, twenty-one of them published since 2007 in journals indexed by Journal Citation Reports (in ISI Web of Knowledge) on this topic.</p> <p><strong>Findings and Originality/value:</strong> This review reveals four main aspects mentioned as determinant in generating mathematical models. The analysis of these four points does not allow for a single, overarching model. Rather, all analyzed solutions reflect and respond to a specific company environment.</p> <p><strong>Originality/value:</strong> A global analysis on several recent papers, describing main aspects wich determines optimal order allocation in multi-supplier environment.</p> |
