The ANP-based site selection of regional emergency supplies distribution centre

Abstract

The comprehensive evaluation method of index linear combination based on traditional analytic layer process (AHP) has a disadvantage. Whereas, we offered an ANP-based evaluation model in the site selection of regional emergency logistics distribution center, put forward its network structure evaluation index system and set up nonlinear multi-index comprehensive evaluation decision model and algorithm, which made the index weight more feasible and reasonable. At last, an application example was demonstrated to analyze the feasibility and reasonability of this method. © 2011 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
