Gestão Integrada de Compras: Um Modelo de Processo de Seleção de Fornecedores Baseado em Lógica Fuzzy

Abstract

The search for competitive advantage through the interconnection of organizational processes allows companies to reduce their time and expenses. Therefore, this study aimed to propose strategies to find good practices for these actions, with the main objective of presenting a model for the supplier selection process based on fuzzy logic to improve activities. The model was developed in Matlab® software, using the Fuzzy Logic Toolbox environment, and considered social and economic criteria for the selection of suppliers of an electronic product in a foundation supporting Research, Extension, and R&D projects. The results showed that the model was efficient, with minimal differences between suppliers, suggesting the continuation of the relationship with the selected ones and the adoption of tools to recover those that did not show good results.
