Hotel supplier selection for fresh vegetables and fruit

Abstract

This study will investigate the analysis of the supplier selection problem faced by a group company that owns hotels in various regions of Antalya in its fresh vegetable and fruit purchasing process for all hotels that are under the group company. The company currently faces a decision between continuing with its existing supplier, negotiating a new contract, purchasing directly from the market, or exploring alternatives with new suppliers. The analysis will meticulously scrutinize price differentials and logistic costs, conduct a thorough examination of negotiation potential with suppliers, and consider quality factors and potential disruptions. In facilitating decision-making, a proposed mathematical model and scenario analysis comprehensively integrate various factors, underscoring the imperative for precise analysis and negotiation to establish a cost-effective and dependable supply chain.
