dc.description.abstract | Inverter industry was blooming in the past ten years. However, Facing to the challenges and impacts of boundless industry competition, enterprises are under fierce global competition caused the gross margin is less than less. Supply Chain Management (SCM) has become an important issue in responding to the changing global market and has achieved good management performance in many industries. Former days in the market were the enterprise to enterprise’s competition, but now the competition is belongs to the industrial supply chain to supply chain between the chain the competition. The impact on supply chain management had changed the cooperate relationship between the supplier and the purchaser, shifting from hostility to closer partener relationship. Suppliers still means the base units in SCM; it is good or not would be the key factor which leads the enterprise to the success or fail. So, the selection of suppliers is always an important issue in SCM area.
The case study approach method was adopted in this research, in order to find out a standardization model about the Inverter’s manufacturers how to evaluate its suppliers. Base on prior research in supply chain management, purchasing management and supplier’s management. We study the case company which already reaches to sucesses about its business strategy, purchasing strategy and its suppliers’ manage methods in its development process, and find its systematic framework in suppliers’ selection and evaluation. About its suppliers’ selection and evaluation, case company use Categorical method and liner weighted method to count the scores, we also hope this issue should be discussed or analyzed in depth. Besides, this research make an comparison on the suppliers’ evaluation indexes which were based on prior research in Dickson(1966), Ellram(1990), Watts et al.(1992), Choi et al.(1996), Chan and Chan(2004) in order to complete this research. Finally, hope this result of the research would be useful on Inverter industry and then expanding to the whole electronical industry or other fields’ reference. | en_US |
