Sažetak
ransferring all or some parts of the engineering
activities or supply of goods to third persons or companies is one of the adopted methods that transfer a significant part of the likely risks to the concerned side. Outsourcing activities are followed by many benefits, such
as reducing overhead and operational costs, increasing
efficiency, reducing risk, and so on; however, if this is not
done carefully, not only is no benefit gained, but also new
risks are imposed on the organization. Considering that
waste of time and cost diversions of projects stem from the
selection of inappropriate contractors, risk assessment is
important in outsourcing.
Using a risk-oriented approach based on software toward
outsourcing, the present study aims to identify and rate the
factors affecting the selection of contractors and to finally
provide a method to evaluate and select the proper way for
the selection of contractors. This method is not just based
on the lowest price, but it also includes several factors that
influence the selection of contractors, which is achieved
by applying the Expert Choice software. At first, the most
important risk factors in the selection of contractors were
identified according to the conducted research. Then, the
factors that had the greatest risk potential for achieving
the project goals were chosen from among them. The opinions of experts were obtained in the next phase to determine the importance of various factors in the process of
contractor selection, which was achieved by the distribution of a questionnaire. Subsequently, the most important
factors chosen by the experts were specified, and their relationship with the contractor’s risk management was found.
