Description
Summary:碩士 === 國立臺北大學 === 企業管理學系碩士在職專班 === 103 === This study uses silicon wafers materials of solar cell manufacturing company as an example to investigate the effective procurement strategy for improving business operational performance. Special emphases are on material-product competitive factors, factors affecting supplier selection, the supplier’s evaluation methods (Q.C.D.S.) and performance standard, and the supplier’s compliance relationship. By applying extensive literature review, industry five forces, value chain, SWOT analysis, and expert in-depth interviews, a comprehensive evaluation of company A’s procurement management strategy and key successful factors are analyzed. The empirical findings are summarized as follows. 1. Material testing report is a crucial factor since it affects quality. 2. Among the factors affecting supplier’s selection, production management of suppliers is the most important factors. 3. The quantification of Q.C.D.S. indexes is important in evaluating suppliers. 4. Good interaction with suppliers is very important in order to obtain additional services (including quantity and price). 5. An effective procurement policy are particular important to a low profit margin solar cell manufacturing industry, since it affects directly to production efficiency and profits. This conclusion might provide an important reference for domestic solar cell manufacturers and industrial development.
