    The aim of this study is to develop a conceptual approach of supplier selection decision support that promotes in-house methods of decision-making in the healthcare purchasing. Our approach is based on a decision support system (DSS) solution principle in which each selection component is assessed and supported by a new type of DSS model previously developed for rural industries. The study uses survey data to structure a decision model evaluated by a hypothetical case of procuring a hospital x-ray machine. We further demonstrate case data through the features of the DSS model. We believe that the proposed approach addresses a complex supplier selection decision in healthcare purchasing.

    Failure risk reprioritization and improvement strategy selection are two inseparable parts in FMEAmethodology. Nevertheless, the previous studies on the new research opportunities provide veryscanty discussions on the latter part. This paper presents an initial survey to classify literature related to improvement strategy selection methodology inFMEA. Systematic literature review using various reference databases is undertaken. Driven by new paradigms and recent trends on managing business operation,many studies have been dedicated to advance improvement strategy selection based on FMEA. The result of our survey, however, indicated that all those previous endeavors do not seem to be sufficient. Based on some observable gaps from the previous references, new research roadmaps in selecting improvement efforts are presented.

    Supply of skilled manpower is a major strategy for entrepreneur to run the production process smoothly. Skilled manpower categorization, selection and performance evaluation are decisions of strategic importance to micro, small and medium enterprises. Global competition, mass customization, high customer expectations and harsh economic conditions are forcing enterprises to rely on external skilled manpower to contribute finished products and to manage a growing number of processes and functions that were once controlled internally. Thus skilled manpower performance evaluation is very important to choose the right manpower for the right enterprises. In this paper a fuzzy manpower selection algorithm (FMSA) is implemented to rank the technically efficient manpower according to the both predetermined performance criteria and additional skilled-related performance criteria. The algorithm is based on calculating fuzzy suitability indices for the efficient manpower alternatives, and then, ranking the fuzzy indices to select the best skilled manpower alternative. A comprehensive example is provided to illustrate the decision making procedure.

    The exploitation of e-business has become one of the primary conditions of doing business in the current business environment. Companies have moved to web-based business to business platforms where transactions are done efficiently and in a fast pace. The importance of e-business technology has grown significantly in supply management as well. Therefore, this study examines the effects of e-business on supply management using data collected from 100 Finnish firms. Moreover, light is shed on the targets of e-business and the changes caused by e-business in supply management and how these changes have influenced the firm’s competitive and bargaining positions. The results of the study show that the main targets of e-business in supply management are cost and time savings and process development. It was also found that e-business has caused changes in supply chains and networks in terms of bargaining and competitive position.
