Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of data processing, and in particular relates to a supplier evaluation method based on entropy weight method. Background Art

[0002] Supplier evaluation refers to the use of an index evaluation system to evaluate suppliers' supply quality, service level, supply price, punctuality, credit, etc., laying the foundation for supplier selection. Without a reasonable evaluation method, it is impossible to evaluate the supplier's cooperation effect, which will greatly dampen the supplier's cooperation enthusiasm and stability. Through evaluation, the results are fed back to the supplier, and the root causes of the problems are discussed with the supplier, and corresponding measures are taken to improve them.

[0003] According to the explanation of the basic principles of information theory, information is a measure of the order of a system, and entropy is a measure of the disorder of a system; according to the definition of information entropy, for a certain indicator, the entropy value can be used to judge the degree of dispersion of a certain indicator. The smaller the information entropy value, the greater the dispersion of the indicator, and the greater the impact of the indicator on the comprehensive evaluation (i.e., weight). If the values ​​of a certain indicator are all equal, the indicator will not work in the comprehensive evaluation. Therefore, the information entropy tool can be used to calculate the weight of each indicator to provide a basis for the comprehensive evaluation of multiple indicators. Therefore, suppliers can be evaluated based on the entropy weight method, but the existing supplier evaluation methods are not comprehensive enough, and the data processing capabilities are not accurate enough, which makes the evaluation conclusions unconvincing.

[0004] Therefore, the existing supplier evaluation methods cannot meet the needs of actual use, so the market is in urgent need of improved technologies to solve the above problems. Summary of the invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a supplier evaluation method based on the entropy weight method, which adopts the entropy weight method to evaluate suppliers. The entropy weight method can deeply reflect the distinguishing ability of indicators, determine better weights, and make weighting more objective, with theoretical basis and higher credibility. In addition, the entropy weight method is also used to process each evaluation indicator itself, so as to improve the accuracy of the data of each evaluation indicator itself, and solve the problem that the accuracy of the existing supplier evaluation method is not ideal.

[0006] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention is achieved through the following technical solutions: The present invention is a supplier evaluation method based on entropy weight method, comprising the following steps: S1: Based on the types of goods supplied, determine the evaluation indicators used to evaluate the supplier level; the evaluation indicators include quality level indicators, delivery capability indicators, price level indicators, technical capability indicators and support service indicators; S2: Collect historical data of various evaluation indicators and preprocess the data; S3: Classify various evaluation indicators, including qualitative evaluation indicators and quantitative evaluation indicators; S4: Use the entropy weight method to calculate the weights corresponding to each evaluation index; S5: Modify the weights of each evaluation index and determine the final weight; S6: Conduct a comprehensive evaluation, calculate the evaluation result of the supplier based on the final weight of each evaluation indicator, and score the supplier.

[0007] Furthermore, the historical data of each evaluation indicator in S2 are arranged according to time, and based on the distance in time, the historical data of the evaluation indicator is divided into several segments, and then the weight of each segment is calculated based on the entropy weight method, and the average historical data of the evaluation indicator is calculated.

[0008] Furthermore, the data preprocessing in S2 includes the following steps: S21: Clean the extreme values ​​of the historical data of each evaluation index, and remove extreme value samples that account for less than 2% of the total number of samples but have an index value contribution rate of more than 30%; S22: Normalize the historical data of each evaluation index.

[0009] Furthermore, the weight calculation of each evaluation index in S4 includes the calculation of the weight of qualitative evaluation index and the calculation of the weight of quantitative evaluation index; the calculation of the weight of qualitative evaluation index adopts a combination of entropy weight method and experience method, firstly the weight of the qualitative evaluation index is calculated by entropy weight method, and then the evaluator makes analysis and judgment on the qualitative evaluation index based on previous data and experience to determine the weight; the calculation of the weight of quantitative evaluation index adopts entropy weight method to calculate the weight of the quantitative evaluation index.

[0010] Furthermore, the weight correction in S5 adopts the expert experience method. The procurement experts correct the weights of various evaluation indicators based on their work experience and determine the final weights.

[0011] Furthermore, the comprehensive evaluation in S6 also includes risk warning evaluation. The most recent supply data is input into the evaluation system, and the entropy weight method is used to calculate the weight change corresponding to each evaluation indicator. When it exceeds the set value, the evaluation system determines that the supplier has a security risk and issues a warning to the purchasing staff.

[0012] Furthermore, risk warning assessment also includes the assessment of the supplier's operating conditions, which is based on data on the supplier's operating history, qualifications of responsible persons, registered capital, number of employees, completion records and performance, major customers and financial status.

[0013] The present invention has the following beneficial effects: The present invention adopts the entropy weight method to evaluate suppliers. The entropy weight method can deeply reflect the distinguishing ability of indicators, determine better weights, make weighting more objective, have theoretical basis, and have higher credibility. In addition, the entropy weight method is also used to process each evaluation indicator itself to improve the accuracy of the data of each evaluation indicator itself.

[0014] The present invention can further improve the accuracy of evaluation by correcting the weights of various evaluation indicators processed by the entropy weight method to determine the final weights, and classifies the evaluation indicators, and performs different analyses on qualitative evaluation indicators and quantitative evaluation indicators, which is more comprehensive and has higher evaluation accuracy.

[0015] The present invention has various functions and can conduct risk warning and assessment on suppliers, and can evaluate the operating conditions of suppliers themselves, thereby avoiding the occurrence of abnormal problems. Implementation
