Implementation of a Decision Support System for Commercial Evaluation and Selection of Equipment Suppliers
This paper describes the results of an implementation of a decision support system to aid analysis and selection of engineered equipment suppliers in the early stages of capital projects. Procurement of equipment is a complex process which requires the evaluation of multiple suppliers against project targets. This analysis is usually performed manually, is time consuming, and certain tradeoffs may be overlooked. A technique to support procurement decisions with complex tradeoffs among key variables has been missing. The results of this research take significant steps to fill this gap. The system integrates historical data, market assessment, and supplier bid information to support evaluation of tradeoffs among cost, schedule, quality, shop load, and transportation variables. Validation was performed with two recent selection cases. Data from commercial bid tabs was imported into the system and results were presented and compared against three EPC firms' final recommendations. The decision support system provides rapid evaluation and comparison of several supply alternatives, thereby improving the consistency and quality of commercial analysis in the early phases of capital projects.
