The main purpose of this paper is to develop an evaluation model of key capabilities for ocean freight forwarder using fuzzy multiple criteria decision-making (FMCDM) method. At first, combining the historical literatures, the concepts of the balanced scorecard, professional and experts' opinions as well as using a designed questionnaire investigation, a hierarchical structure with 25 evaluation criteria for key capabilities of ocean freight forwarder industry is constructed. Then, the 11 capabilities constructed by the analysis of value-chain approach are formed. Furthermore, the fuzzy set theory and multiple criteria decision-making approach are integrated to propose an evaluation model utilized to find out the key capabilities of the ocean freight forwarder company. The model can help ocean freight forwarder company to identify its key capabilities, to search the core competence, and ultimately to determine the strategy of gaining sustainable competitive advantage for ocean freight forwarder company. Finally, we use this method to survey the key capabilities for ocean freight forwarder company A as an empirical study to demonstrate the FMCDM algorithm proposed in this paper. The results show that the key capabilities for ocean freight forwarder company A are obtaining space, planning in company size, as well as canvassing business orders. In addition, the empirical result is quite conforming to the demand of ocean freight forwarder industry. |
