Abstract

This paper deals with the emergence of supplier selection criteria in printed format. The primary aim is to associate Charles Babbage as the pioneer in putting together the supplier selection criteria in 1832. While Dickson, G W is known as the pioneer of the supplier selection process for his work in establishing a standardised supplier selection process through a study in 1966, a comparative analysis of the criteria put forward by him with that put forward by Charles Babbage does show that we can definitely assign the tag of pioneer of the supplier selection process to the Father of the Computer.
