Abstract

The purpose of this study is to provide a framework for the initial qualification and performance evaluation of suppliers and contractors and implement it as part of the supply chain management system in ERP system of the Mobarakeh Steel Company. In this research, the current process of Mobarakeh Steel Company has been investigated. Subsequently, using the review of the literature and the views of experts in the process of assessing the initial competence of suppliers, the design has been redesigned, and implemented in the supply chain management software system. After collecting the appropriate criteria and methods for evaluation in this field, the most appropriate criteria for assessing suppliers are determined using the Delphi method. In the design process, the initial qualification of suppliers will be determined after selecting the necessary and functional criteria. In the second stage, suppliersperformance is assessed in two parts of the inquiry and order.Transparency at stages of the process help the company to select the appropriate suppliers.Transparency in this process make the applicants to collaborate with the company to have a good view of choosing or not choosing at the beginning of the process and evaluating their performance over the course of partnership.
