Abstract
The right choice of the members of the distribution channels is the key to construct a good currency channel. A fair and comprehensive evaluation or assessment of the current situation depends on not only the status quo of the members, but also the past performance and future development trends. The article firstly pointes out the general evaluation norms on how to choose the right channel members. Secondly, a "Three-Dimensional" Fuzzy Comprehensive Evaluation Model is summarized by using the Delphi method, fuzzy comprehensive evaluation and entropy method. Finally, this study constructs a "three-dimensional" comprehensive evaluation system for the suppliers by an empirical example, which proved that the methods that used in this study is feasible and effective.
