productivity measurement of the manufacturing process for outsourcing decisions the case of a taiwanese printed circuit Board Manufacturer
International Journal of Production Research, 2008Co-Authors: Dong Shang Chang, Yi Chun Kuo, Tz Yu ChenAbstract:Outsourcing is used to alleviate capacity shortages and increase production flexibility. Generally, the outsourcing decision of manufacturing processes is determined by the capacity utilization rate and focus on individual process. In this article, multicriteria are considered by applying the data envelopment analysis to evaluate the relative efficiencies of all the manufacturing processes to help to assess the allocation of a company's resources. The Malmquist productivity index (MPI) is further employed to measure the productivity changes of each process, on which the outsourcing decision can be based. The empirical case of a Taiwanese printed circuit Board Manufacturer is applied to illustrate the outsourcing decision process. According to the outsourcing decision matrix proposed in this article, the manufacturing process with low efficiency score and MPI value was identified as a high priority for outsourcing. The outcome shows that the manufacturing process with a higher investment of fixed assets do...

evaluating firm s green supply chain management in linguistic preferences
Journal of Cleaner Production, 2013Co-Authors: Minglang Tseng, Anthony S F ChiuAbstract:Abstract There has been an increasing interest towards firms' environmental sustainability activities to improve practices in their supply chain. Stringent environmental regulations in Europe and US challenge Manufacturers to comply with these without losing their competitiveness. This study illustrates the case of a printed circuit Board Manufacturer in Taiwan that seeks to implement green supply chain management (GSCM) and selects a green supplier to meet its requirements. Choosing the suitable supplier is a key strategic direction in eliminating environmental impact on supply chain management for manufacturing firms. The firm's criteria and supplier selection need to be unified as a system to improve the firm's performance. This study identified the appropriate environmental and non-environmental GSCM criteria for the case firm and developed the following selection method: (i) evaluate the weights of criteria and alternatives as described both by qualitative and quantitative information; and (ii) rank alternative suppliers using a grey relational analysis. The result shows Alternative 3 ranks first among the four evaluated suppliers and demonstrated strong performance in the top three important criteria, namely, environmental management systems, profitability of supplier and relationship supplier closeness. Additionally, the perception weights on criteria itself are same as the most top five in weighted alternative.
