The present paper is concerned with the following questions: what are the advantages and disadvantages of the method of complex evaluation (MCE) scoring model as compared with that designed by Tomek. Both scoring models are compared (MCE and Tomek) presenting the results using a simple illustrative case study. The criteria for evaluating the scoring model variants include: the amount of information necessary, level of difficulty, details of the results, the object comparison. A single illustrative case study is used. This paper is concerned with presenting the scoring model for evaluating the existing suppliers in the first instance for production enterprises. Other existing scoring-models aren't present and compare.
This paper aims to compare the scoring model by Tomek and that of the method of complex evaluation (MCE) by Chytilova. Other scientific aim of this paper consists in the description of business conditions which MCE is suitable.
The result of this paper is the description of differences in evaluation processes between two scoring-models (by Tomek and MCE) presenting the advantages and disadvantages of MCE. The comparison of the scoring model variants focuses on formulating the conditions of business under which MCE is more suitable than the scoring-model by Tomek.
This paper is concentrates on middle-sized production enterprises. It is oriented towards the evaluation of suppliers in the first instance. It only compares the supplier evaluation processes used by the enterprises. For illustration purposes data from enterprise managements are used. Only the existing suppliers are evaluated in this paper.

Keywords: existing suppliers' evaluation, value chain, scoring-model, supply chain management, production enterprise, supplier in the first instance
