Design/methodology/approach {u2013} This study used a three-step methodology. The concept involved factors developed based on the relevant literature. Further, a regression model framework is used to calculate Supplier Satisfaction Index. The proposed decision framework was tested with a real-world company case study in a Thai merchandising firm. Findings {u2013} This paper found the key factor affecting the supplier satisfaction was trustworthiness. Research limitations/implications {u2013} The sample respondents of suppliers are small as they were selected solely from the Siam Cement Group (SCG). This may involve some sampling bias issue.
