Abstract

The Grey system theory and expert investigation method are used to establish 
\nevaluation index system for vendor performance at development stage and mass 
\nproduction stage. The weight of each index is determined. The Grey cluster 
\nevaluation model based on Mixed end-point triangular whitenization weight 
\nfunction are used to comprehensively evaluate the five significant vendors who 
\nundertake the development task of C919 program of Commercial Aircraft 
\nCorporation of China Ltd (COMAC). The performance level of each vendor and its 
\nproblems are confirmed and the evaluation results can be the basis of vendor 
\nmanagement for COMAC.
