基于熵权和TOPSIS的食品供应链可持续性评价研究

Assessing Food Supply Chain Sustainability: An Integrated Approach of Entropy and TOPSIS

摘要:

通过分析食品供应链各环节的特征，建立评价指标体系，构建了基于熵权和TOPSIS的食品供应链可持续性评价模型。最后，通过对英国和中国鸡肉以及蔬菜供应链的比较分析，验证了模型的可行性和实用性。计算结果表明，中国鸡肉、蔬菜供应链相较英国供应链可持续性差。食品产业从业者可以采取相应措施，提高食品供应链可持续性，以缓解日益堪忧的环境恶化以及食品安全问题。

Abstract:

Environmental degradation has been a great concern for Chinese people. Sustainable management serves a critical avenue to solve environmental problems。The aim of this article is to propose an integrated evaluation framework through constructing a comparatively comprehensive set of indicators so as to measure food supply chain sustainability. The assessment methodology is the integration of Entropy and TOPSIS which are utilized to ascertain the weights of indicators and provide comparison and contrast amongst different food supply china. This article also provides a practical application of the methodology by comparing vegetable and chicken supply chains in China with those in Britain. Computational results show that vegetable and chicken supply chains in China is less sustainable compared with those in Britain. Scholars and practitioners in the sphere of sustainable research in China could utilize the findings of the article to take corresponding countermeasures to improve the sustainable performance of food supply chain so as to relieve the increasingly severe environmental problems.
