Summary: This paper presents a novel multi-objective mixed integer linear programming model that considers the selection of suitable suppliers, inventory management practices, and order quantities to optimize the trade-off between procurement cost and material delay impacts. The proposed model treats material prices, supplier capacities, and delays as fuzzy scenario-based parameters and is validated through numerical testing. The sensitivity analysis shows the importance of accurate estimation for uncertain parameters. The paper also demonstrates the higher performance of the proposed model compared to deterministic market conditions.

Summary: The research shows that early supply management integration positively moderates the impact of supplier involvement on firm success, urging companies to avoid supplier integration without professional purchasing management. By implementing measures such as top-management support, structural differentiation, explicit processes, and a collaborative corporate culture, purchasing can be fully embedded in the innovation process to enhance the success of supplier integration in new product development.
