Supplier.Selection.for.Infomediary-Based.E-Marketplace
An e-procurement, supplier selection, e-business process in an infomediary-based
e-marketplace requires information of attributes that describe the buyer??™s requirements,
such as price, quantity, and the date by which the item is required. The selection
of a supplier, from a set of suitable suppliers entails the buyer??™s preferences of
specific supplier characteristics, including supplier capabilities for product quality
and production capacity. This is a discovery activity that comprises customers and
suppliers searching for a match of their requirements in the infomediaries. The result
of this activity is the discovery of a set of suppliers capable of meeting their needs.
Typically, customers will then engage in internal decision making activity to select
a supplier, from the discovered set, that best meets their needs.
