Application of the Back Propagation Neural Network Model on the Supplier Evaluation in E-Manufacturing Environment

The supplier evaluation is a key section of the intelligent internet supplier selection & evaluation system. The model used for supplier evaluation is Back Propagation Neural Network model which is introduced in the paper. The paper started with the brief introduction of the intelligent internet supplier selection & evaluation system. It provides a outline of the research project and then it concentrated to introduce the application of the BP NN model for supplier evaluation. The application introduced in the paper will include the design of the BP NN model, Training of the BP NN model and test results.
