In recent years, the competition of global shipbuilding market is getting increasingly. The supply chain management (SCM) for shipbuilding operators is thus becoming more and more important. For the SCM of shipbuilding industry, the supplier plays a role of successful key factors. The purpose of this study is to discuss the criteria of supplier selection for shipbuilding industry. Based on the characteristic of shipbuilding industry and the relevant literature, the criteria for supplier selection were first investigated. A Fuzzy AHP model was then constructed to identify those criteria from perspectives of shipbuilding operators and supplier s respectively. Finally, the gaps between shipbuilding operators and supplier were verified by the difference between their perceptions toward the criteria. As an empirical study, the shipbuilding operators and their suppliers in Taiwan were investigated to validate the research model. The results indicate that the top five criteria for shipbuilding operators to select suppliers are: price level, meet the demand, payment terms, quality level and deliver goods cost. While, The top five selection criteria of supplier perception are: quality level, meet the demand, technique ability, price level and brand reputation. At last, the top fives gap between the shipbuilding operators and their supplier are: technique ability, quality level, payment terms, deliver goods cost, and price level. The results could provide information for both shipbuilding operators and their suppliers to decrease the perceived gap between their perceptions. And as a result, the SCM efficiency of shipbuilding industry could be improved, and lead to enhance the competition of shipbuilding industry. Key Words: Shipbuilding industry, Supplier selection, Supply chain, AHP, Fuzzy.
