碩士 === 東海大學 === 工業工程與經營資訊學系 === 104 === As the environmental issues are rising, the idea of waste management is getting much more public’s attention than the previous years. The selling volume of new mobile phone in Taiwan had exceeded eight million per year.In the situation of the higher depreation rate of mobile phone due to the consecutive researching developing, and innovation of mobile phone product, a huge amount of waste mobile phone has been produced. Considering the toxic substances in the mobile phone, it will be detrimental to the environment and human body if we failed to handle the waste mobile phone. On the other hand, mobile phone contain precious metals, and we can make a considerable profit by recycling such a hege amount of waste mobile phones. The primary intention of this research is on criterion and alternative evaluation of waste mobile phone via the utilization of voting analytic hierarchy process (VAHP). The recycling of waste related literature and the applications from several countries was collected and organized help to screen adequate criteria then developed VAHP Questionnaire. The evaluation process was then constructed based on the confirmed criteria. A systematic process was built to select an optimal recycle alternative. In short, the objectives of this research were as follows: (1) to assess the current operation of waste mobile phone in Taiwan, (2) to establich evaluation criteria of waste mobile phone recycling utilizing VAHP, and (3) to construct an evaluation form according to the set of criteria. The findings of this research are as follows: (1) Five main considerations in waste mobile phone recycling were knowledge of toxic materials in mobile phone, convenience of dealing process, contactability of disposal sites, exposing of alternative, and monetary incentives. (2) With the aid of VAHP, weight of each criterion was calculated to present the priority of criteria. (3) An evaluation form was constructed to select and optimal waste mobile phone recycling alternative.
