Abstrakt: This paper develops and validates vendor selection in supply chain in the context of India that could be used by managers in assessing and improving their supply chain. Using a thorough synthesis of the supply chain literature, 10 measures-quality, cost, delivery reliability, service, capacity, flexibility and responsiveness, human factor, technology, innovation and other factors of supply chain and their 71 variables have been developed. Using the data obtained from a survey of 104 manufacturing industries in India, the identified performance measures are subjected to appropriate statistical tests to establish reliability and validity. Statistical computing package SPSS is used for the analysis of reliability and validity. The validated instrument of vendor selection measures developed here may be used by the manufacturing organizations to prioritize their management efforts to assess and implement vendor selection.
