Abstract

Under global saving energy and carbon wave and increasing incomes, the bicycle not only is a traditional transportation but also has become a tour and sport tool. Concerning the bicycle industry, the prior researches worked on analyzing bicycle tire suppliers and focused on the business strategy and cost analysis. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to identify critical factors related to the bicycle supplier selection. Primary criteria to evaluate supplier selection is obtained by the literatures survey and applying fuzzy Delphi method (FDM), and then fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (FAHP) is employed to calculate the weights of these criteria, so as to build the fuzzy multi-criteria model of bicycle supplier selection. The results indicate a greatest weight on the dimension of bicycle supplier selection, and four critical evaluation criteria related to bicycle supplier selection are delivery time, service quality, optimum price, and product quality.
