Study On Performance Evaluation And Selection Of Large Scale Equipment Providers

Equipment purchase and installation is an important sub-engineering in large-scale engineering project which success has direct impact on the whole project's success. This thesis constructs a practical approach to the decision making on mechanical and electrical equipment providers evaluation and selection. The goal is to provide an systematical decision management tool for the decision maker of the large equipment purchasing and the project manager based on the balanced scored card notions and methods in performance evaluation theory.This thesis accomplished the following works. At first it constructs the evaluation indicator hierarchy for evaluating the large equipment provider performance within the framework of balanced scored card theory. The characteristics of this indication hierarchy is its balance on various aspects of economics and management capability of the providers and its completeness covering multiple phases of the equipment supplying and installation provider from the purchasing, installation to test running stages. Secondly the thesis discusses the concrete evaluation methods and routines on the indicator values with respect to various performance indicators. The relatively detailed calculation procedures are presented for the economical indicators as an important instance. The statistical algorithms and examples are also discussed for other kinds of indicators. At last this thesis discusses the comprehensive computation method for evaluating the equipment provider performance index which is based on the hierarchical weighted factors. The thesis also briefly discusses the development of support tools based on computerized information techniques. The thesis discussion on theory analysis is combined with practical requirements and applications to company which achieves active effects by using the approach in the thesis.
