In view of the selection of military third-party logistics suppliers, the work aims to identify and evaluate the possible risks in the process where suppliers accomplish military support missions from the risk perspective, so as to reduce the outsourcing risk of military logistics and provide methods and ideas for the decision-making of military third-party logistics suppliers. An operational framework to apply FMEA technology in the selection of third-party military suppliers was proposed. Evaluation criteria to be determined, potential failure modes to be identified, and decisions to be analyzed according to the framework process could lead to a more comprehensive and scientific selection of military third-party suppliers. Without considering the risk, E had the highest original score and D ranked in the middle among the five candidate suppliers. After the FMEA analysis, because E had too much risk in an evaluation index, and D had much less risk in each index than the original top-ranked suppliers, D became the final supplier selected by the army. Through the analysis on the selection of military third-party logistics suppliers based on FMEA, the possible failure modes can be identified in advance, and the causes and possible consequences as well as the degree of control of existing measures can be analyzed. Thus, the risk of each candidate supplier in the determined evaluation criteria is evaluated, and finally the result of supplier selection is obtained by combining the original score. This method is simple to operate and easy to cal-culate. It can measure the comprehensive level of the military third-party logistics suppliers comprehensively and help improve the efficiency of military material support and reduce the risk of material support.
