Mestrado em Ciências EmpresariaisA presente dissertação tem como objetivo o estudo e aplicação das metodologias multicritério de apoio à decisão para a avaliação e seleção de fornecedores numa empresa de construção civil, sendo que interligado a esse, procurou reduzir-se os riscos da seleção incorreta de um fornecedor, potencializando e maximizando as relações a médio/longo prazo. Considerando as alterações imputadas à avaliação de fornecedores nos últimos anos, bem como a integração de múltiplos critérios de seleção ao invés somente do critério preço, levaram nos a desenvolver este estudo. Este caso da empresa “ABC”, permitiu verificar e estudar diretamente os problemas da seleção de fornecedores aplicados ao meio empresarial. De modo a encadear todo o processo, foi realizada uma revisão de literatura, tendo em vista a perceção do estado de arte, bem como adquirir conhecimentos relativos aos métodos multicritério e critérios habitualmente utlizados na avaliação de fornecedores. A partir dessa revisão de literatura, foi escolhido o método AHP - Analytic Hierarchy Process para determinar qual o melhor fornecedor de sistemas de ar condicionado (Aquecimento, Ventilação e Ar Condicionado – AVAC) para a empresa “ABC”. A definição de critérios foi realizada tendo em conta as preferências da empresa “ABC” relativamente aos seus fornecedores, tendo sido possível definir 5 critérios imprescindíveis. A seleção e execução do método AHP, foi determinante para a triagem dos fornecedores, sendo possível determinar qual o mais benéfico para a empresa, em cinco fornecedores possíveis que se candidataram a este processo. O trabalho desenvolvido constitui um contributo importante para a avaliação e seleção de fornecedores na empresa “ABC”, pelo seu valor, bem como pela forma como permitirá a resolução dos problemas de decisão com diferentes critérios.
This thesis aims to study and apply the multi-criteria methodologies of decision support for supplier’s evaluation and selection in a civil construction company. Connected to this, it was sought to reduce the risks of the incorrect selection of a supplier, enhancing and maximizing relationships in the medium / long term. Considering the changes assigned to supplier’s evaluation in the recent years, as well as the integration of multiple selection criteria instead of only the price criterion, led us to develop this study. This case of the company “ABC” allowed us to verify and directly study the problems of supplier’s selection applied to the business environment. To link the whole process, a literature review was carried out, aiming at the perception of the state of the art, as well as to acquire knowledge regarding multi-criteria methods and criteria commonly used in supplier’s evaluation. From this literature review, the AHP - Analytic Hierarchy Process method was chosen to determine the best HVAC (Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) supplier for company "ABC". The definition of criteria was carried out considering the preferences of the company "ABC" regarding its supplier’s, and it was possible to define 5 essential criteria. The selection and execution of the AHP method, was decisive for supplier’s screening, being possible to determine which is the most beneficial for the company, in five possible suppliers who applied for this process. The work carried out constitutes an important contribution to supplier’s evaluation and selection in the company “ABC”, due to its value, as well as the way in which it will allow the resolution of decision problems with different criteria.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Despite the competition for achieving lower costs and higher profits, companies are nowadays becoming increasingly aware of the environmental and social impacts of their operations. This is unveiled by growing numbers of sustainable activities in companies’ reports. Companies’ are also under more pressure from authorities and public to increase their business’s environmental performance, a so-called sustainable management process. Besides the pressure for developing environmental responsible activities, companies still remain with their low cost measures. Hence, they are concerned with the issue of identifying suitable measures to assess their sustainability.Supplier selection, processes by which companies evaluate, select and maintain their suppliers, regarded as one of the major operations affecting companies sustainable performance. While supplier selection was often performed in the past using conventional measures, there is an essential need to develop a framework for sustainable supplier selection in supply chain. By doing this research the company can ensure its operations are in line with environmental and social regulations and requirements. Research questions: - What is the important and applicable sustainable supplier evaluation criteria (SSEC) that could be applied? - What Multi criteria decision making method (MCDM) is suitable for evaluating and ranking the suppliers? - How would Renault group in Iran rank the supplier against the sustainable supplier evaluation criteria (SSEC)? - Which Sustainable supplier evaluation criteria (SSEC) could help the lowest ranked supplier to improve its sustainability performance? Purpose: The purpose of this research is to develop important and applicable sustainable supplier evaluation criteria (SSEC) and find out the multi criteria decision making method (MCDM) for ranking the suppliers. Furthermore, it also suggests to the manger to improve the sustainability performance of lower ranked suppliers. Method: The empirical data and the conclusions made from Renault Group in Iran are based on qualitative case study. This thesis is written from a positivistic perspective with a deductive approach.

Full textAbstract:
Due to the ongoing globalisation and fast changes within the business environment companies are forced to adapt more quickly to customer needs. Therefore, they depend on reliable suppliers which provide them with the necessary goods and services. As a consequence, finding suitable suppliers is of utmost importance for companies. To be able to choose those suppliers companies need to establish criteria on which basis potential suppliers can be evaluate and select afterwards.
Against this background, this master thesis researches the supplier selection process from the end manufacturer’s point of view. Hereby, the focus is laid on theoretical supplier evaluation criteria and methods. Due to the lack of investigations in this branch of industry the authors have chosen the sporting goods manufacturing industry within Sweden and Austria as their field of study. They have been supported in their research by the companies the Arctic City Counting House AB, the ATOMIC Austria GmbH, and the HEAD Sports AG which provided them with the essential empirical data.
Keeping the above mentioned fact in the back of one’s mind, the authors deduce the following research question:
On which basis and how do manufacturers of sports equipment in Sweden and Austria evaluate and select their suppliers?
Within the theoretical part the reader of this thesis first of all gets an overview of supplier-buyer relationships and afterwards is informed about the structure of the supplier selection process, starting with the preparation step, followed by prequalification and evaluation steps and resulting in the final selection and the continuous controlling of the suppliers. In addition, common criteria which are necessary to evaluate suppliers are presented. Furthermore, the reader is provided with an insight into general evaluation models whereby four common theoretical methods are explained in detail (AHP, TCO, DCA, and DEA). Out of this theoretical data a conceptual model was created.
The empirical part consists of practical information which was provided by the three researched companies mentioned above through questionnaires and interviews. The analysed data concludes that the evaluation criteria which are given in theory are also used in practice. In addition, it was discovered that a further criteria category is applied within the researched companies. The values of the evaluation criteria depend on the goals of the respective company. The theoretical evaluation models on the other hand are not used by the examined sporting goods manufacturers. All of them use their own methods which are presented in the empirical as well as in the analytical part of this thesis. Finally, this thesis ends with a conclusion and with the answer of the research question.
Based on this thesis sporting goods manufacturers get an insight in specific supplier evaluation methods and thus gain the chance to learn how other companies within this industry evaluate and select their suppliers.

Sikorsky Aircraft Co. currently finds itself in a critical growth period, in terms of both sales contracts and supplier agreements. Popular supply chain strategies preach reduction and simplification of the supply base, but Sikorsky encounters "must-grow" situations with their supply base, due to factors like international offset provisions and capacity needs. Growth in the number of supplier relationships each year strains the supply management department and makes it difficult to complete full analyses of new suppliers. The goal of this research is to provide tools that combine the knowledge of experienced supply chain employees with statistical analysis in a package that will allow any member of the supply chain group to complete a thorough supplier risk analysis in the minimum amount of time. To address Sikorsky's supply chain risk, a concrete framework is desired that will ask the right questions about a supplier and produce an indicator of the level of risk involved in a supplier agreement. This project sets out to identify the connections between the sources of risk (risk drivers) and affected performance metrics (effects). These connections can be presented in an easy-to-use tool that enables quick yet thorough analyses. The framework links supplier analyses with the resulting performance, and uses the results to make data driven inferences about future supplier relationships. This allows quick and informed assessments by anyone in the supply chain group, regardless of their level of experience. The result of this project is a software-based risk assessment framework with scoring based on historical Sikorsky supplier performance.
(cont.) The data have revealed through statistical regression analysis strong correlations between a number of risk drivers and resulting supplier performance. These correlations can be used to score suppliers with similar attributes through the model. In addition, the model can be used as a knowledge retention mechanism of supplier performance data to facilitate future refinements of both the model and risk driver/effect correlations.

Full textAbstract:
GKN Aerospace Engine Systems acts as supplier to the original equipment manufacturers of aircraft engines and is one owe the largest component manufacturer in the aerospace industry. They purchase raw material from suppliers all over the world. The components are big and heavy which means that transport cost could be saved with ship transport. But since GKN Aerospace Engine Systems use Free carrier agreement as incoterm they tie up capital during the transportation. The capital tied up could instead be used in other investments. To overcome the problem with tied up capital during transport the incoterm agreement has been evaluated. The incoterm Delivery at place means that the supplier owns the material and thereby also the capital cost during the transportation. A production stop due to lack of raw material is expensive and to minimize the risk it is important to evaluate all possible risks. The purpose with this thesis is to identify potential risks. The concept with DAP makes it possible for the suppliers to use their own freight carrier, that could lower the prices, but it also increase the inbound transport to GKN Aerospace Engine Systems. The administration cost in the goods receive tends to increase with a DAP solution. It is also necessary to change place where the delivery precision is measured. The supplier also needs some knowledge in export transportation and have competence in transports.

Full textAbstract:
Rapidly changing business environment, increasing and fluctuating customer demand, the recent development and employment of technology are crucial reasons for companies to strive for better quality, shorter lead time and lower costs. The supplier evaluation and selection process is an increasingly important activity in the supply chain in order to enhance the company’s competitiveness by reducing the costs and simultaneously maintaining the same quality of products. The focus of this thesis is on the supplier evaluation and selection process for public procurement in Swedish electricity industry. Specifically, the work combines the literature and the empirical findings gathered from the case company Växjö Energy (VEAB) to develop a supplier evaluation and selection process for the public procurement in Swedish electricity industry. It was concluded that the supplier evaluation and selection process for public procurement has basically four steps. The steps are 1. Identifying the needs and the sourcing method; 2. Setting the pre-requirements; 3. Supplier evaluation and 4. Supplier selection. In addition, the developed supplier evaluation tool innovatively combines the advantages of the value-added model with the advantages of AHP model. Moreover, this developed supplier evaluation and selection process would help the public procurement departments in Swedish electricity industry to improve their current practices in selecting the suppliers by highlighting the important steps and developing the evaluation model in a way that enhance its credibility to provide a more precise and reliable results.

With increased global competition, companies find that they must adjust and adapt to a supply chain model that incorporates more strategic suppliers. Pratt & Whitney, a division of United Technology Corporation, is no different as it seeks to streamline selection of suppliers to satisfy their business and manufacturing needs. In addition to improved product costs, low cost sourcing also expands its global footprint as emerging markets, such as China and India, continue to grow at phenomenal rates compared to Western markets. This research focused on development of a supplier evaluation process for Pratt & Whitney to meet its business goals. This introduces a change to the way that the company has historically operated. The first focus is to understand how to implement change within the company setting by introducing a formal supplier evaluation process. The second is to understand develop and refine the process to be utilized within Pratt & Whitney. This thesis focuses first on how to implement change within a company. The existing culture of the company must be evaluated to determine the approach to be taken. Within Pratt & Whitney's culture, research indicates that support from management and key influential personnel within the company are critical in producing a true change in the way the company conducts itself. Three different case studies are discussed that highlight the impact of this support on the successful implementation of change within the corporation. Secondly, this thesis researches the design and development of the supplier evaluation process. The most important aspect is to interview and listen to the needs of the customer. The success and failure of the system rests on being useful, intuitive, and simple. Through constant feedback, the tools were continually improved. In addition, information technology can be an enabler for business processes. With a well-designed system, IT can provide a secure, robust, scalable system for use in large corporations, like Pratt & Whitney.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis attempts to integrate the three supplier processes- supplier segmentation, supplier selection/evaluation and order allocation- based on a case study of a white goods manufacturer. These processes are dealt with in a hierarchical manner, where the decisions at an earlier stage (supplier segmentation) may affect on the results of later stages (supplier selection/evaluation and order allocation). Based on a wide set of variables gathered from the supplier segmentation literature and from the framework developed by the case company, a factor analysis is performed. The resulting eight factors (complexity and criticality, supply market dynamism, supplier&rsquos economic dependence, buyer&rsquo
s supplier dependence, uncertainty, supplier capabilities, supplier&rsquo
s specialization to white goods manufacturer and possibility of harm to user) are used for clustering analysis with the K-means method. Three different clustering schemes (4-clusters, 8-clusters, and 18-clusters) are analyzed to see the effect of number of clusters on the cluster means. A supplier selection model is constructed by the PROMETHEE method as was done in a former study at the same company. Two different scenarios are considered in the supplier selection phase: First, data from the former study are kept as they are. The second scenario considers a change of criteria weights. As a result, the qualified suppliers were found to be the same in both scenarios, but the rankings and net flows, which were inputs to the order allocation model, changed. The effects of these changes were discussed at a conceptual level, due to a lack of case data for the order allocation model.

Full textAbstract:
The assessment of physical activity is of great interest to the public and to researchers. One of the most popular and objective methods of assessing physical activity is using motion sensors such as pedometers and accelerometers. The purpose of this study was to assess the accuracy and reliability of step counting and energy expenditure estimation of two popular electronic pedometers and one accelerometer during running. In all step-counting trials, actual step counts were determined using a hand tally counter. Twenty subjects (18-40 years) were asked to volunteer to participate in the study. During the initial assessment subjects ran at five, six, seven, and eight miles per hour on a motor driven treadmill for ten minutes at each speed. While running they wore two pedometers and an accelerometer while oxygen consumption was measured. In the second assessment, all subjects ran a timed, self-paced mile around a 200-meter track while wearing all three activity monitors. In the third assessment, thirteen subjects ran at five, six, seven and eight miles per hour on a motor driven treadmill for three minutes at each speed to assess the step counting reliability of the devices. The three devices were accurate to within 1% at all speeds on the treadmill and on the self-paced track run. In addition, all three devices were reliable (r = 0.80). Caloric expenditure estimation accuracy the NL-2000 was ± 21% when expressed in both net and gross kcals. The Digi-walker was f 22% when assumed to be net kcals and ± 45% when assumed to be gross kcals. The Actigraph was accurate to ± 49% in terms of net calories. The results of the current study have shown that these devices are accurate and reliable for step counting at speeds between five and eight mph. However, their ability to assess caloric expenditure is not accurate at the same speeds. In conclusion, the application of these devices to runners is limited to highly accurate and reliable step counters.School of Physical Education, Sport, and Exercise Science

Conventionally, the focus during supplier evaluation has been to assess cost, quality and delivery effectiveness due to their impact on profitability. In recent years, there has been increased emphasis on promoting more sustainable business practices that focus on reducing environmental impact and improve societal well-being, in addition to economic benefits. However, most of the existing supplier evaluation methods in literature as well as those used by leading companies fall short of comprehensively assessing suppliers from a Triple Bottom Line (TBL) perspective. TBL defined as holistically looking at the economic, environmental, and societal aspects of an entity. This paper presents a review and selection of metrics for economic, environmental and societal sustainability evaluation. In addition, this work proposes a methodology for combining the scores into a comprehensive score that can be used to compare two entities performance relative to the TBL.

Supplier selection and. evaluation is an important research area which can adopt technologies of information retrieval, artificial intelligence, etc. The current supplier selection processes from the Internet still requires heavy manual activities. To overcome these shortcomings, a new internet based intelligent supplier selection system for supply chain management is going to be investigated in the research project. The project is going to develop such a kind of system for the PC manufacturer. The project firstly is going to develop an automatic web information searching system, and secondly, develop the table identification model to convert the different format tables obtained from the Internet into the standard table format. Then, it is going to investigate an intelligent system to analyze the obtained information from the web page automatically and put the useful information for further processing. And finally, this project will investigate an artificial intelligent method to evaluate the possible suppliers according to the information obtained from the internet search. The experimental works for the table identification model and a modified artificial intelligent model has been demonstrated that both models are powerful methodologies for web based supplier selection and evaluation. ---

Low-cost sourcing is a strategy many companies, including Pratt & Whitney, use to reduce part costs. As they increase their efforts to resource products to low-cost regions, Pratt & Whitney needs a robust process to effectively evaluate potential suppliers and identify those suppliers that are most capable of satisfying their manufacturing and business needs. Through the development of a Supplier Evaluation Process, this need is realized and a case study is presented that highlights the use of such a process. In addition, the topic of trust in buyer-supplier relationships is also explored. Through the process of developing new suppliers, Pratt & Whitney invests time, labor, knowledge and skills that they have developed to quickly improve a new supplier's business and manufacturing capabilities. The methods that Pratt & Whitney uses to accomplish this task, as well as the risks that they are subject to, are closely linked to what is deemed in the literature as trust building activities. This thesis seeks to understand the role of trust in the buyer-supplier relationship that Pratt & Whitney creates with low-cost sources and to highlight the benefits that Pratt & Whitney realizes as a result of these relationships.

Automotive SPICE is used to evaluate the efficiency of the development processes for OEMs and ECU suppliers. It is a domain specific version of SPICE. Many automotive manufacturers are demanding Automotive SPICE level 2 from their suppliers. Application life cycle management solutions specific to automotive industry focus more on standardisation yet providing very little information about performance of processes. This thesis shows how Business Intelligence (BI) solutions can be helpful in achieving Automotive SPICE level 2 compliance and as comprehensive reporting tools. Moreover the evaluation of approaches for implementation of different BI systems has shown that commercial solutions can be beneficial for small to medium size suppliers. Implementing a BI solution can also point out possible improvement opportunities and bad practices for an organisation. The implemented BI system can only be efficient and useful if the underlying data is accurate and responsive.

Como consequência da atuação focada na eficiência da cadeia de suprimento, as organizações aumentam sua dependência nos fornecedores de matérias primas e componentes e tornam-se mais suscetíveis ao perfil de risco dos mesmos. O papel do gerenciamento de riscos em cadeias de suprimento é de entender e tentar evitar os efeitos devastadores ou mesmo os de menores amplitudes de rupturas de suprimento. Torna-se necessário para os gestores o desenvolvimento da capacidade para avaliação de risco, principalmente o risco de rupturas. É preciso estimar os riscos aceitáveis associados às possíveis rupturas e, então, desenvolver estratégias e diretrizes para o gerenciamento de tais riscos, já que, somente com o conhecimento dos mesmos, torna-se viável o desenvolvimento de planos de mitigação ou contingenciais. Nesta dissertação discutir-se-á o tema de gerenciamento e modelagem de riscos associados a fornecedores, destacando-se a aplicação de um modelo probabilístico de redes bayesianas como um recurso útil nos assuntos relacionados ao gerenciamento e à modelagem de riscos. As rupturas de suprimento serão modeladas utilizando-se um modelo probabilístico de redes bayesianas que possuem a habilidade de representar as relações de causa e efeito em um ambiente envolvendo incertezas. Um estudo de caso com a aplicação da metodologia na indústria de Refino também é apresentada.As a consequence of the supply chain management pursuit for efficiency, the organizations become more dependent on the suppliers of raw materials and more sensitive to their risk profiles. The Supply chain risk management (SCRM) objective is to understand and reduce the likelihood of disruptions. SCRM puts its effort in sharpen the notions of risk and reliability and tries to quantify them. The methodology used in this study can be used by managers to formulate supply chain risk management strategies and tactics that mitigate overall supply chain risks correlated with the most critical suppliers. This research is concerned with developing a Bayesian Network approach to model and to analyze supply chain disruptions associated with suppliers. The Bayesian Networks is a method of modeling the cause and effect of events and has proven to be a powerful tool under conditions of uncertainty. A case study is used to illustrate the application proposed to make the supply chain more reliable.

For companies pursuing opportunities by expanding manufacturing to new markets, one major challenge is unavoidable: identifying and developing capable, local suppliers. In developing markets suppliers often lack the cutting edge technology, processes, and management methodologies driving the world's best businesses. The ability to identify and develop, relocate or build suppliers with World-Class capability becomes a competitive advantage. This thesis discusses the state of the art in Industrial Conglomerations (including Industrial Clusters and Supplier Cities) as well as their benefits and limitations. To analyze the potential opportunity for manufacturing firms considering supplier cities, we have developed a technical, operational, and financial framework for considering the opportunity and making key decisions about structure, location, and included processes. The framework includes a discussion regarding process selection based on an analysis of critical technical issues at each manufacturing step. This analysis considers the relationship of process capability to overall product performance and ultimately to product competitiveness.
(cont.) In an attempt to help justify the effort of the host company in establishing a Supplier City, we include a discussion of the cost model we developed to quantify the benefits associated with supply chain expense, learning curve effects, and the expense of developing suppliers located in Supplier City versus those located elsewhere. We further discuss the legal, political, social and environment risks of Supplier City and guidelines for stakeholder focused management of local, regional and national governments, party officials, and NGO's. Finally, we include a case study in which we apply our framework to The Timken Company's China operations. We discuss their specific case and our recommendations.

As a crucial factor for forming a competitive supply chain, the supplier selection problem has gained a lot of attentions from both researchers and practitioners. To fulfil the increasingly stringent environmental regulations and meet the NGOs’ and customers’ call for environmental conscious and socially responsible business, companies find it necessary to incorporate environmental and social dimensions in the supplier selection process.
This thesis presents a supplier selection-model incorporating the sustainability issues. Firstly, a comprehensive set of sustainable supplier selection criteria are identified. Then, a hybrid multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) model comprising the fuzzy TOPSIS (Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution) and the two-level DEA (Data Envelopment Analysis) algorithms is developed to screen out less qualified suppliers.
To begin with, twenty one supplier selection criteria are defined in the categories of economic performance, environmental impacts, and corporate social responsibility (CSR) impacts. The criteria were identified from literature review and a small-scale consultation with industrial practitioners. Regarding the economic criteria, quality, delivery, production capacity, cost, technical capability, financial position, management & organization and reputation are the more important aspects. For environmental impacts, most frequently adopted criteria are targeted at measuring supplier’s current environmental performances, i.e. negative impacts of products and production process on the environment. For CSR impacts, labour, health and safety criteria are received the most attention.
A hybrid supplier pre-selection model consists of the fuzzy TOPSIS and the two-level DEA is implemented to shortlist suppliers. The fuzzy TOPSIS is used to measure the supplier’s outcome based performance, while the two-level DEA is used to measure the supplier’s efficiency, that is, how efficiently the supplier uses various resources to achieve that level of performance. With the combination of the performance score and the efficiency score, suppliers are grouped in to four clusters, that is, high performance and efficient (HE), high performance and inefficient (HI), low performance and efficient (LE) and low performance and inefficient (LI). Improvement targets for suppliers in HI, LE and LI clusters are identified.
In general, conventional DEA is deficient in the discriminating power when there are a large number of criteria. The two-level DEA is established in this thesis to enhance the discriminating power of the standard DEA. In the two-level DEA, the supplier selection criteria for the same aspect are grouped together and form the hierarchical structure composes of two levels. Thereby, the two-level DEA model is able to handle quite a large number of input and output criteria.
A case study has been conducted in the context of automobile industry to validate the feasibility and usefulness of the proposed methodology. The results indicate that the proposed methodology is able to screen out less qualified suppliers considering a comprehensive set of sustainability criteria.published_or_final_version

Full textAbstract:
In today’s competitive market, survival and response to customer needs and expectations are enabled through high-quality products for low costs – quality products provided by suppliers fulfilling today’s quality-requirements for a low price. Companies have until recent years selected suppliers only according to a pricing structure, leaving other criteria’s, such as quality, behind. The purpose of this master thesis is therefore to investigate quality aspects that must be considered from a supplier evaluation perspective and design a simple evaluation tool for first-time supplier selections. Both new and existing suppliers will be tested with the tool according to information given during a case study made at Flexit AS, a Norwegian ventilation-systems company looking to introduce a structured approach for selecting suppliers. Through an extensive literature- and empirical study, where a survey, of which evaluation criteria’s to be included in the evaluation tool, was conducted together with several both semi-structured and unstructured interviews, a foundation for the design of the tool was presented. Quality management systems and quality performance measurements, such as rejection rate and delivery precision, are considered as fundamental aspects to consider when assessing a supplier. Acceptance levels of approval are set according to in-house objectives. If any evaluation tool including quality should be usable, an in-house quality system must therefore first be implemented by the in-house company – a notable improvement recommended to the case company. The design of the tool given from the thesis provides the evaluator with an opportunity to visualize and compare existing suppliers according to five criteria’s including cost, together with an additional spreadsheet for evaluation of new suppliers put forward as a foundation and an indicator if new suppliers are considering quality on a basic level.

With the recovery of semiconductor industry, semiconductor FABs have one after another expanded their capital to purchase main equipment in order to get enough capacity to get the leading place in the market; however the semiconductor tool suppliers are the key factor affecting the capital expenditure of the semiconductor FABs. So how to select semiconductor tool suppliers are the most important issues for semiconductor FABs. Since supplier selection is very important portion in the supply chain management, the purchasing requirements will be changed according to the development of technology; the criterions also need to be revised from time to time. According to previous researches, AHP is the most commonly used measure to find out important factors for creating weighting of each factor; in this research, cost of ownership is used as the major measure and also referencing the AHP weighting result to establish the effective method. So that both cost and quality can be measured in the meantime. This research is firstly, via surveying the historical data and thorough interview with semiconductor expert, analyzing the semiconductor suppliers selection criteria, and secondly find out the weighted point of each criterion by Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) method. Finally 6 dimensions are developed according to the research results: 「quality control」, 「cost efficiency」, 「supplier’s management profile」, 「technology capability」, 「logistics accuracy」and 「supporting ability」, and 23 items are proposed as indexes appropriate to be used for the evaluation of key equipment suppliers in semiconductor industry. The evaluation model is applied in this research to be used in a DRAM company and then proved as well as double confirmed by cost of ownership (C.o.O). The evaluation result appears that by using AHP weighting method at regular interval to obtain the ranking result for the supporting capability of all suppliers, and supported by C.o.O, can not only give the improve their competitivty but also help semiconductor FABs to select more accurate suppliers.

With the recent increasing of the environmental consciousness, there has been a tendency that international manufacturers have gradually implemented environmental consciousness as mandatory requirements. There are more and more stringent environmental standards internationally, such as Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment, Restriction of the use of Hazardous Substance, Registration, Evaluation, and Authorization of Chemicals, Energy-related Products Directive and End-of-Life Vehicle, implemented by Europe Union. They all meet the market demand by following the idea of environmental protection and building the green demand chain and green purchasing standards. Therefore, the selection of the suppliers is the key in the purchasing and supply chain. Choosing qualified suppliers carefully can help enterprises provide low-cost and high-quality parts or raw materials and lower the risk of having a single supplier. Also, since international purchasing standards tend to be stricter and stricter, it can provide appropriate amendments. Using the consuming electronic products, OEM/ODM manufacturers, as an example, this research analyzes the standard of choosing suppliers under the green purchasing standard in this industry. Through Analytic Hierarchy Process, it helps enterprise decision-makers to organize data using a logical and hierarchy structure to simplify the complicated decision-making process to a set of supplier choosing module and to integrate all the analysis results in order to provide strategic recommendations for the industry to choose qualified suppliers when they are doing the evaluation. It is proven that when using this evaluation module to score and rank suppliers, it can effectively shorten the time of the evaluation, moreover, assist purchasing staff to select the best supplier effectively, efficiently, and objectively.

The competitiveness of an enterprise is affected by the capability of suppliers. So it is important to evaluate suppliers regularly to improve the performance of suppliers. In this study, we conducted expert questionnaire with Delphi method, and found that quality power, logistics, engineering capabilities and costs were the most important evaluation criteria of the performance of suppliers. Then we applied the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) method to evaluate the relative importance between criteria to construct the weighting system of hierarchical criteria structure. The evaluation model of the performance of suppliers then could be established, and the priority of criteria can be determined. In the study, we have learned that "quality power" is the most important criteria, and In-coming QC, In-process QC, Out-going QC are the most important sub-criteria. The enterprises and suppliers should focus more on these items. This evaluation model could effectively evaluate the performance of fire escape lighting suppliers, and the assessment results could serve as improving direction and reference to enhance their competitiveness.

The equipment industry is the basis of all industries. The capital investment of the semiconductor accounts for 17~24% of the gross product which it created. Every advanced country regards the equipment industry as a necessity for the development of the semiconductor industry. Governments support this industry with their policy, which guides the development of the semiconductor market and the key technique in order to acquire the competitive advantage as well as the leading position of this industry. This target of the research is the global top 15 semiconductor equipment suppliers, gathering the financial information of each supplier from 2002 to 2006. The evaluation index is based on the following factors: size, growth, profit, efficiency and risk. The grey relation model of multiple objective decision-making is harnessed to do the analysis and prioritize with a view to comparing the competitiveness among the suppliers. The objective Grey Relation Model analysis reveals the niche of semiconductor industry is transnational organization, harnessing diversification operating strategies to enlarge revenue, fight for higher market share, and beef up competitiveness. Without a doubt, professional leading brands as well as relentless R&D are nothing but the approach to generating high margins and maintaining competitive edges. In terms of research and development, the U.S. is still dominating the development of key techniques in the field of semiconductor industry and holding the leading position. Given management strategies, American corporations put emphasis on margins, growing revenue and risk control. Instead, Japanese tend to expand its shares through stable and steady management.

With the increase of importance and dependence of supplier selection in supply chain management, it many enterprises pay more attention to developing partner relationships with their suppliers. One of the key points for purchase managers selects suitable suppliers. As a result, it’s a significant decision for them to select suppliers and allocate the ordering volumes. In this paper we proposed a model to solve the problems of supplier selection and order allocation in single part and multiple sourcing situations. The model includes expected loss cost and expected purchase cost from a set of suppliers. In case of multiple sourcing, the model takes into consideration the ability of suppliers to increase their output when one or more of the rest suppliers fail to deliver. We concern all-unit discount and incremental discount simultaneously, and it makes problems more complicated and difficult to be solved. Hence, we use the MATLAB method which minimizes total cost analysis to obtain the optimal supplier order allocation.

In the last ten years, the international Green Environment Protection has become the most important subject between governments and industries. The Research Agency of Nations have built the law of international Green Environment Protection and researched the tools for the appraisal of Green issues of industries via the system of evaluation that could get the correct Green Environment information from industries. These efforts also could assist sustainable management of industry. In this thesis, we built the appraisal system of electronics industry base on the law of RoHS and WEEE. First, we utilize the questionnaire investigation to understand the suppliers’ motivation of implementing the green environment protection. Second, we evaluate the performance factors via reviewed suppliers’ information and enforcement effort. The factors include environmental management system, document process system, procurement, and production management system. Third, we integrate experts’ assessment policy of questionnaire investigation to get the index weight by Expert Choice 11 and LINGO to perform the analysis of Analytical Hierarchy Process(AHP) and Choquet-fuzzy-integral model. Finally, we evaluate the green score of suppliers to check which meets the green environment protection in electronics industry then suggest the decision maker to choose the appropriate suppliers. With this research of supplier appraisal system, the performance of environmental management of the regulation restriction and customers’ requirement and that of document process system have the higher fuzzy weights. These two items indicate the importantance to the industries. Obviously, these evaluated results are due to the regulation WEEE and RoHS of European Union(EU). In addition, We observe that the suppliers with high capital emphasize much more on green environment protection, their evaluated scores are also higher.

An Integrated Model for Supplier Quality Evaluation
Aqeel Asaad Al Salem
Supplier quality evaluation is a multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) problem that involves multiple, heterogeneous criteria of different weights. The literature addresses quality, delivery, technology, value and service as the five most common criteria used for supplier quality evaluation. In this thesis, we have considered the most important criteria for evaluating the quality of suppliers based on a review of the literature and observation in practice. They include both qualitative and quantitative criteria to reflect the real attributes of the supplier in question, and are applied in a supplier quality evaluation performed for a large data set.
We propose a three-stage model for performing supplier quality evaluation. In the first stage, we identify the evaluation criteria and assign a weight to each criterion. The analytic hierarchy process (AHP) technique is used in this stage. In the second stage, we address the large size of suppliers’ datasets and present a cluster-analysis-based approach to obtain manageable supplier datasets for evaluation purposes. In the third stage, we apply the VIKOR method to evaluate supplier quality in the clusters obtained from the previous stage. A numerical application is provided to demonstrate the proposed approach.
The strength of the proposed model lies in the integrated application of the three techniques, in which each technique is best suited for its respective problem. The model’s other chief advantage
is its ability to deal efficiently with the challenge of evaluating large numbers of suppliers and the data pertaining to their attributes.

As economic development between China and Taiwan, most traditional and labor intensive industries have had transferred to China extensively. However, the quality control level of their suppliers is more uneven than ever, which causes extra costs from rework and replacement. What is worse, someone’s fault in overheat of battery used in notebook computer has damaged its customers’ reputation seriously. Hence, electronic industries ought to choose suppliers for better competitiveness when faced with tremendous change. The purpose of this research is to help electronic industries construct a performance evaluation of connector suppliers. In the beginning, it collects related papers concerning connectors and performance as basis; then, surveys status quo of connector industries in Taiwan. Making use of five perspectives quoted from balanced scorecard (BSC), except for financial capability, customer service capability, process capability, learning and growth capability, the research modifies the perspectives into five by adopting flexibility response capability. Also, it searches for proper and positive performance evaluation method for connector purchasers by means of expertise survey and weighted indicators computed by analytic hierarchy process (AHP). The result of this research can offer not only performance evaluation for electronic companies to purchase connectors, but also infrastructure for further study of suppliers’ competitive strategy.

Outsourcing has broadened the concepts and enriched the activities of traditional subcontracting. It provides business owners a new direction of thinking of how to gain competitive strength by means of incorporating with the business partners to ensure the outsourcing activities are aligned to business strategies of long-term successfulness. In order to achieve such goal, it is necessary to have a measurement tool to indicate if there is any misalignment between the results of outsourcing activities and business long-term strategies. This thesis proposes a measurement methodology that encompasses two major tools, i.e. Quality Function Deployment (QFD) and Balanced Scoreboard, to be used to identify the successfulness of outsourcing. QFD is used convey the business requirements outsourcing the managerial attributes of successful outsourcing. Balanced Scoreboard is the core to ensure and guide the measurement processes to be aligned with business strategies.The outsourcing of die-casting processes of the valve industry in Taiwan is taken as an example to show the feasibility and strengths of the proposed methodology. The results show that there are 34 attributes, which can be used to indicate the degrees of successfulness of outsourcing. Further analysis extracts 8 dimensions of evaluating outsourcing activities. Additionally, 6 evaluation sheets are developed and can be selected by a valve manufacturing company based upon the quantity of outsourcing and the material of products.

Supplier selection is an important issue in supply chain management. In recent years, determining the best supplier in the supply chain has become a key strategic consideration in marketing researches. However, these decisions usually involve multi-goal and multi-criteria or qualitative and quantitative factors. The previous research force in qualitative criterions and ignore the quantitative factors for supplier selection. This study considering both tangible and intangible criteria proposes two integrated methods. First, this study use Taguchi loss function, analytical hierarchy process (AHP) and multi-choice goal programming (MCGP) model for solving the supplier selection problem. Second, it addressed fuzzy techniques for order preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS) and MCGP approach to evaluate the best supplier. The advantage of these methods is that it allows decision makers to set multiple aspiration levels for supplier selection. The integrated models are illustrated by two examples in watch and food firms.

Expert interview method was adopted to summarize and analyze the considerable factors for the selection of domestic suppliers, which was taken as the supplier selection indicators of TFT-LCD supply chain management to understand the key factors of TFT-LCD supplier management. In addition the key differences on the selection indicators of domestic and foreign suppliers were analyzed to make reference for the construction of supplier category management and provide reference guidelines and recommendations for enterprises’ selection of suppliers. According to most experts, the three basic indicators of supplier selection were quality, delivery, and cost, which were relatively beneficial to the manufacturers’ control on estimated cost and cash flow, as well as to the stability of incoming material which could lower the management costs and guarantee a reasonable profit, thus ensure stable supply quality. The indicators were consistent for both domestic and foreign supplier selection. However, international trade and exchange rate issues were still concerning portion assessment in the consideration of foreign parts suppliers.

Semiconductor ceramics include ceramic material and ceramic parts / tools in IC fabrication. Because Taiwan foundry capacity is the best in the world, the demand for semiconductor ceramics is growing as rapidly as the growth of IC production. China is determined to establish its IC industry, which may become a major supplier of ICs to the world. Hence, China’s market for semiconductor ceramics is something to be expected. This research gave a thorough description of the background and current status of global semiconductor ceramic industry. The main goal was to establish a Multi-Criteria Decision Making assessment model, which can be used to evaluate semiconductor ceramic suppliers by vendors or representatives of semiconductor equipment manufacturers. Major semiconductor equipment vendors from Japan and the US were surveyed to come up with weighting factors for each evaluation criteria. The study results showed that a supplier’s technical capability is the most critical consideration. Among all criteria, “price and payment terms” has the highest weight, “quality stability” has the next highest weight, and “technical superiority” has the third highest weight. Comparing the five world leading semiconductor ceramic suppliers, Kyocera has the highest utility score according to overall survey responses.

Abstract This thesis specially addresses performance evaluation of auto-assembler suppliers in after market (AM). In order to tackle these issues, this study adopts data envelopment analysis (DEA) to measure the relative efficiency of resource utilization of auto assemblers in Taiwan. The input variables of the proposed DEA model include the operational indices and the financial indices. They are “the number of employees”, “the annual asset”, “the average inventory time”, and “the average production time”. The output variable is “the annual revenue” Considering the data imprecision about these two variables, “the number of employees” and “the annual revenue”, this thesis adopts three approaches of imprecise DEA to evaluate auto-assembler suppliers’ relative efficiency and to deal with the data imprecision. All approaches are based on the DEA methodology, including α-cut DEA approach, possibility FDEA approach and IDEA approach. In order to follow the principle “homogeneous” of DMUs when applying DEA model to evaluate efficiency, this study categorizes auto-assembler suppliers into auto-component suppliers and auto-accessories suppliers, by means of the products. This study sends questionnaires to the 303 Taiwan auto assemblers of after market, and 75 questionnaires are received. 39 auto-assembler suppliers are selected out of 75 responses. All of our survey firms are Small Medium Enterprises (SEMs). This thesis has successfully applied α-cut DEA, PFDEA and IDEA approaches to evaluate auto assemblers’ performance. We also find advantage and disadvantage of each approach. Besides, the efficiency score of comparison analysis, OTE analysis and PTE analysis are provided to the auto assemblers for their reference. The main research finding indicates that Taiwan auto assemblers are already operating at respectable levels of pure technical efficiency. The thesis finds that the overall technical inefficiency of auto assemblers of Taiwan is caused from the scale inefficiency. The implication of results reflect the auto assemblers operate well in company management even if the most part of auto assemblers in Taiwan are SMEs in realistic situation.
