Ordering and shipping of raw materials is a very important part of a company’s production operations. How to properly arrange the scheme to minimize the transportation and ordering cost is a great concern for enterprises. In this paper, two related models are proposed for the C problem of the Contemporary Undergraduate Mathematical Contest in Modeling: a supplier evaluation model based on Entropy Weight Method, TOPSIS Algorithm and other methods, and an ordering and transportation target planning model based on seasonality analysis and other methods. The former establishes seven supplier importance evaluation indexes based on quantitative analysis from two perspectives of supplier supply capability and business enterprise closeness, analyzes the influence weights of the seven indexes by Entropy Weight Method, and uses TOPSIS Algorithm to calculate the rating ranking of each supplier. The latter is based on the contribution rate of goods, material selection tendency, and corporate interest as the primary factors for enterprises to determine the scheme under different circumstances, and the future supply and demand is predicted through seasonal analysis to establish a target planning model to determine the shopping scheme.
