為了提升競爭能力， 合板建材業者近年來多已投入加工生產， 以確保產品在市場上的差異性及特殊性。 在演進過程中， 如何挑選最好的供應商來為公司創造更大的利益成為重要課題。
本研究採用層級分析法於合板加工業之供應商遴選問題。藉由問卷調查整合出一套供應商遴選模式。評估要素包括品質、 交貨日期、價格及付款條件與服務配合度等，研究結果將可作為企業在面臨供應商遴選決策時之參考。

To enhance their competitiveness, most plywood building-material companies have started their own production to maintain their products’ differentiation and specialization on the market recently. In the process of evolution, how to select the best suppliers to bring in more benefits has become an important issue for a company.
This study applies the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) to the supplier selection problem in the plywood building-material trading industry. Based on questionnaire surveys, this study develops a supplier selection model. The criteria used in the evaluation include quality, delivery date, price and payment terms, and service. Results of this study may serve as a reference for companies facing the supplier selection decision.
