PROBLEM IDENTIFICATION
Scrap is an important and essential raw material for any casting industry.
Autokast Limited is spending an annual cost to Scrap suppliers almost

6 crore rupees.
This include both cost of Material, and Ordering Cost.
Since Good quality Scrap is a Scare material especially in India.
Cost of scrap now obtaining from suppliers is high.
Good quality scrap is vital as this result less amount of power needed for fusion

of metal also good casting can be produced.

Only remedy to reduce the cost given to suppliers is reducing the ordering cost

by suitably selecting the best suppliers who will meet the target of the company.

SOLUTION
We have to select the best supplier who can meet the target of
Autokast Ltd.
Also by reducing the suppliers we can reduce the ordering cost to a

considerable value.
The main selection criteria includes following:
Pricing structure.
Delivery.
Quality.
Service.
2/1/15

62

 Here there are several alternative .

Also there are 5 Suppliers.
Each criteria and sub criteria has to be related.
A best alternative can be selected by using Multiple criteria

decision making technique.

2/1/15

63

MULTIPLE CRITERIA DECISION MAKING

TECHNIQUE
Rank based on several alternatives.
Two techniques are presented here

1. Analytical hierarchal process(AHP).

2. Technique of order preference by similarity to ideal
solution(TOPSIS).
AHP is simple fast and efficient.
TOPSIS considers alternative that has minimum distance to

best solution and maximum to worst one.
