Abstract

With the rapidly increasing competitiveness in global market, dynamic alliances and virtual enterprises are becoming essential components of the economy in order to meet the market requirements for quality, responsiveness, and customer satisfaction. Partner selection is a key stage in the formation of a successful virtual enterprise. The process can be considered as a multi-class classification problem. In this paper, The Support Vector Machine (SVM) technique is proposed to perform automated ranking of potential partners. Experimental results indicate that desirable outcome can be obtained by using the SVM method in partner selections. In comparison with other methods in the literatures, the SVM-based method is advantageous in terms of generalization performance and the fitness accuracy with a limited number of training datasets.

Partner selection is an unstructured and multi-criterion decision problem. Qualitative analysis methods are commonly used in many research works [3]. However, quantitative analysis methods for partner selection are still a challenge. Existing quantitative methods in the related literatures can be classified into several categories: mathematical programming models, weighting models, genetic algorithms, dynamic clustering, neural network and fuzzy sets. Talluri and Baker [4] proposed a two-phase mathematical programming approach for partner selection by designing a VE, in which the factors of cost, time and distance were considered. The weighting model includes the linear scoring model and analytic hierarchy process (AHP). The linear scoring model assigns weights and scores arbitrarily.
