Description
Summary:With the increasingly fierce competition among enterprises, the role of suppliers and core companies has shifted from “competitors” to “partners”. Under such a co-opetition relationship, how to be sustained success in a supply chain without protection or subsidies is a key issue for the survival and development of suppliers. This study aims to explore the factors that influence the competitiveness of suppliers. Based on Baosteel, firstly, this study constructed a hierarchical structure including 3 aspects and 13 factors. After acquiring 12 experts’ assessments, Fuzzy-DEMATEL was employed to process the data. Finally, causal map was plotted according to the outputs. Referring to the causal map, we found that “Green Manufacturing Process” and “Use of Environmentally Friendly Materials” are the most influential factors in term of total influence and net influence. Therefore, these two factors can be regarded as critical factors.
