Abstract:

This paper combines factor analysis (FA) theory, the K-means (KM) model, and the group analytic hierarchy process (GAHP) to construct the FA-KM-GAHP models to investigate the group consensus assessment of credit suppliers. The results show that quick ratio, stability of product price, and product quality and complaints account for 28.12%, 15.85%, and 45.79% of the attributes' weight value, respectively. Credit supplier $D_2$ is superior to other suppliers by 13.82% to 57.36%. Based on these findings, suggestions for assessing and choosing credit suppliers are proposed, such as sharing the platform construction of risk consensus assessment using consortium blockchain technology.

Key words: supply chain finance, group analytic hierarchy process (GAHP), factor analysis (FA), group consensus, risk assessment
