customer-focused organization through collecting customer order and requirement and then subcontracting the order
to appropriate suppliers to achieve total customer satisfaction. Hence, the selection of suppliers becomes a crucial
factor for the manufacturer to become a successful out-sourced type company to get customer satisfaction in the
business. Two most important questions regarding supplier-manufacturer relationships concern the nature of the
commercial outcome and the nature of the interaction between the two parties. When we think about the commercial
outcome of a supplier-manufacturer relationship, we can simply use the concept of surplus value provided by
economics. The surplus value in a relationship between a manufacturer and a supplier can be broadly defined as the
difference between the costs of production of the supplier (which, of course, includes normal profits) and the utility
function of the buyer.
2. Review methodology
This paper reviews the literature on Supplier-manufacturer relationship in supply chain management that has been
available in the various academic journals .The aim is to scrutinize the wide literature related to suppliermanufacturer
relationship in supply chain management,thus to help the academicians develop the efficient supply
chains. We adopted a structural survey methodology. Initially, we collected a wide range of papers containing
supplier-manufacturer relationship, supply chain management. The aim of the paper is to help researchers to
understand actually the hidden meaning of Supplier- manufacturer relationship in supply chain management as well
as identifying the most prominent areas for future research. Table 1 present supplier-manufacturer relationship
framework to compile the research on the topic.

3.1 Analytical Hierarchy Process
The Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is a structured technique for organizing and analyzing complex decisions.
Based on mathematics and psychology, it was developed by Thomas L. Saaty in the 1970s and has been extensively
studied and refined since then. It has particular application in group decision making, and is used around the
business, industry, healthcare, and education. Rather than prescribing a "correct" decision, the AHP helps decision
makers find one that best suits their goal and their understanding of the problem. It provides a comprehensive and
rational framework for structuring a decision problem, for representing and quantifying its elements, for relating
those elements to overall goals, and for evaluating alternative solutions.
