Description
Summary:碩士 === 義守大學 === 資訊管理學系碩士班 === 95 === Through the significant improvement of technology, the information technology keeps weeding through the old to bring fort the new. In order to go with the stream, increase operation efficiency, maintain the more complex information system availability, and update functions frequently, most corporations need the assistance from professional companies. To outsource the information system which is not the core ability of corporations, not only can reduce the costs of building system, but help corporations to focus on their particular field. Besides, choosing an appropriate contractor will raise the successful rate of outsourcing. Owing to the qualitative data and quantization data coexistent is unavoidable, and most of them are fuzziness and uncertainty. Therefore, this study planed to combine the Fuzzy Logic and the Fuzzy Multicriteria Decision-Making methods, which applies the Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) with fuzzy number and Fuzzy Preference Ranking Organization METHod for Enrichment Evaluation (Fuzzy PROMETHEE) to have the best result of contractor evaluation. The case of selection for information system outsourcing in this study was evaluated by four decision-makers, and based on Linguistic Variable to give the weight of seven criteria which include the experience of contractor, the goodwill of contractor, the cooperative ability, technology skills, sustainable ability, and management ability of contractor, and general problems. Furthermore, according to criteria, the four candidature outsourcing contractors would be evaluated by linguistic variables. Additionally, depends on the Fuzzy Set Theory to carry on the set operation and de-fuzzify. Finally, obtains the rank of candidature outsourcing contractors. The application of FMCDM to evaluate the information system outsourcing contractor can be consequent on a common consensus at group decision making by rationalization and systematization, as efficient solve the lack of flexibility in the traditional FMCDM. The result of rank will provide the reference to the corporation which may need assistance of information system outsourcing to improve the efficiency.
