Tiivistelmä
The thesis purpose is to determine the best supplier of organic chickpea beans among a number of potential qualified suppliers. Since the author and her friends are planning to open a small coffee shop serving organic falafel as the shop’s signature dish with healthy organic chickpeas, the best supplier of such beans is key in this business. This is also the rea-son why the topic was chosen and analyzed.
A framework dealing with the purchasing function and supplier evaluation and selection process was applied for a discussion and in-depth analysis to figure out sourcing strategies and supplier selection criteria which support the final decision. Additionally, qualitative research via interview tools was carried out to assist in collecting valuable information and data and to analyze it precisely. The collected data was investigated thoroughly and ana-lyzed in terms of the assessment criteria and, in the end, the most qualified supplier was determined logically and convincingly.
In conclusion, Taj Mehal Afro-Asian Market was on the top of the best suppliers who met all requirements of the coffee shop and offered the most competitive bean prices. However, a long further process of contracting, ordering and assessment needs to be completed later in order to support this start-up successfully.
