[[alternative]]GREEN SUPPLIER SELECTION FOR CONSTRUCTION MATERIAL INDUSTRY IN TAIWAN: APPLYING ANALYTIC HIERARCHY PROCESS

[[abstract]] 台灣石材業目前切割產能居世界第二位，其優勢為擁有現代化及自動化的機器設備，且加工技術層級及精密度高，品質穩定，因此在世界石材市場頗具知名度。但是由於台灣石材業本身礦源受限，在面對開放的全球市場與國際競爭壓力下，必須思考如何運用綠色環保資訊於經營管理，制定更具競爭力之策略方得保持經營優勢。 在全球環保議題漸漸成為綠色供應鏈所重視的一環，因此，支援企業配合綠色供應鏈所需的技術，將成為提升產業競爭力關鍵一環。新一波的綠色工業革命來臨，企業必須聯合上下游供應鏈綠化其供應體系。從企業本身與供應商共同合作透過產品或製造流程的改善，以提昇供應商與客戶端的環境績效。藉由實務訪談歸納出影響建築石材產業綠色供應商評選四項主因子與十二項次因子，再結合層級程序分析法，找出因子間相對重要性。具體而言，本研究之目的為：（1）由建築材料業供應鏈，從石材供應商、工廠、分配者（倉儲中心、零售商）以及顧客（採購者、工地）等相互依存關係的緊密連結，分析建築石材業供應鏈的現況。（2）利用層級分析法建構綠色供應商評選準則，做為建築石材業供應商評選時的依據。（3）設計建築石材業綠色供應商評選流程。 結果顯示供應商執行力的評估之「交期」、企業製造能力的評估之「技術合作的能力」、供應商執行力的評估之「成本分析」依次為影響建築石材產業綠色供應商評選之主要因子。[[abstract]] The stone cutting industry of Taiwan holds the second highest production volume in the world, which is made possible by the edge provided by its modern and automated machinery and equipment. Moreover, advance processing technology and high precision of the stone industry enable the industry to produce stable quality products; hence, it enjoys widely recognized reputation in the stone product market globally. Unfortunately, Taiwan does not have rich mining resources for its stone industry. Facing the pressures of open global market and international competition, it is imperative that the industry introduce the application of green environmental protection concepts into its operations and management, and thereafter define more competitive strategies that would enable the industry to maintain its operating advantages. The global environmental protection issue has gradually become an important part of the green supply chain; hence, providing the essential technologies needed in the green supply chain serves as a key factor in upgrading the competitive power of the industry. In advent of a new wave of green industrial revolution, businesses should work together with upstream and downstream supply chain to establish a green supply chain system. Businesses and their suppliers should cooperate for the improvement of their products or manufacturing processes, thereby upgrading the environmental performance of the supplier and end user. Based on practical interviews, we categorize the factors affecting the green supplier evaluation of the stone industry into four primary factors and twelve secondary factors. Then, relative significance of the factors is determined based on the analytic hierarchy process. The objectives of this study are: (1) to analyze the supply chain status quo for construction stone material industry. (2) to employ the analytic hierarchy process to establish a set of green supplier evaluation criteria that will serve as a reference in the evaluation of construction stone suppliers. (3) to design an evaluation process for selecting an green supplier in the industry. The findings indicate that the criterion of “delivery” in the supplier operating capacity evaluation, the criterion of “technical cooperation skills” in the enterprise manufacturing capacity evaluation, and the criterion of “cost analysis” in the supplier operating capacity evaluation constitute as primary factors affecting the green supplier evaluation process of the construction material industry. An evaluation form with proposed criteria and weights is constructed as well
