Abstract
The thesis considers the procurement and supply management evaluation indicator of Taiwanese semiconductor equipment firms. This study combines the performance evaluation content from the literature and practices related to purchasing strategy and supply management to set up the performance indicator maps, then uses the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) analysis to derive the key performance evaluation indicators. Through a set of case study and evaluation, this study tests the applicability and effectiveness of the indicators.This study provides a method suitable for deriving performance evaluation indicator of procurement and supply management for semiconductor equipment manufacturing and equipment firms. The method may assist the firms to assess the procurement performance as well as the related procurement strategy. In addition, the evaluation indicators derived, as indicated in this study, are dependent on the procurement strategy used.
