Abstract

In today's world, where competition is becoming increasingly prominent, companies need to focus on several aspects in order to be successful in their operations. Purchasing is essential to achieving this goal, so suppliers can be evaluated as well. A new approach is created based on the QFD method for evaluating suppliers, which can be quickly and easily performed, even without the help of a computer. This method was tested in a company based in a North Eastern Hungarian city. Firstly, suppliers were selected by ABC analysis and then the expectations were defined and compared based on the order of their preference matrix. The three categories were A, B and C, one supplier achieved a place in the best category, two suppliers a place in the second category, five suppliers joined the third category. Furthermore, Suppliers were categorized by Kraljic matrix. The supplier rating which was based on the QFD (Quality Function Deployment) method, allows analysis of the performance of a given supplier in an easy way within the company and to develop them over the longterm in order to make the company more successful based on the results of combined work.
