Supplier Selection. “Selecting cases” In this step it is important to select cases that, when analyzed, will lead to relevant results. Because it was decided to use interviews which are time consuming, only a small subset of suppliers could be selected. Therefore it was important to first identify the population; the set of suppliers for which the results of the analysis should be relevant. ASML has over 500 suppliers, but many of them are only small suppliers with generally little impact on logistical performance of the supply chain. These are the so called “non-critical” suppliers in the Xxxxxxx framework as depicted in figure 4 (xxx Xxxxx, 2002).
