Description
Summary:	Customers expect fast delivery of products and services. Businesses understand this requirement and focus on efficient supply chains. The vendor selection process, which is complicated due a host of internal and external factors affecting the decision making, is fundamental to an efficient and responsive supply chain. As a selection criterion, the on-time probability for a vendor to supply a part can be used. In this paper, we have applied three quantitative methods, namely logistics regression, discrete time survival analysis and naïve Bayes classifier to evaluate a vendor. The mathematical models to estimate the on-time probability, were built and tested on a data set provided by a case company and evaluated with the help of key metrics.
