Port Logistics Function Evaluation Model Based on Entropy Weight TOPSIS Method

Abstract

Port logistics has developed rapidly, but due to late start, poor foundation, and other reasons, there are still some deficiencies in the development process; for example, some port logistics capacity is weak, and low efficiency has hindered the development of ports. Therefore, this paper puts forward the evaluation model of port logistics function based on entropy weight TOPSIS (Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to an Ideal Solution) method. Analyze the factors that affect the operation effect of port logistics, extract four key indicators, and construct index evaluation factors. Entropy weight method and TOPSIS method are used to calculate the weight of each factor so as to quantify the indicators, thus determining the scoring standard of each indicator, obtaining the comprehensive scoring standard, and realizing the port logistics function evaluation. The experimental results show that to realize the effective use of port resources and the protection of the port environment, it not only needs to conduct port logistics function evaluation but also take into account the efficiency of port logistics. It is of great significance to study the capacity and efficiency of port logistics for improving the core competitiveness of port enterprises and driving the sustainable economic development of surrounding areas.

A method for evaluating the impact of port shoreline planning on fishing vessels based on automatic identification system cluster analysis

“…The relative proximity between each evaluation object and the optimal scheme is obtained, which is used as the basis for evaluating the merits and demerits. At present, the TOPISIS method has been applied in various fields [8][9][10][11][12][13] . In this study, the calculation steps of TOPSIS method are as follows:…”

Vulnerability Assessment for Port Logistics System Based on DEMATEL-ISM-BWM

“…The carrier is the infrastructure equipment through which the circulation takes place [26]. Flow direction is on behalf of the goods in the process of logistics operation, and finally to the distribution of the link, the goods from a comprehensive series of activities, and finally sent to the hands of consumers in a special form of delivery, to complete the final link of logistics [27]. The port realizes the function of a modern logistics center with composite advantage, the port's multiple identities have strategic status in international logistics, and the port provides value-added services through the logistics system [28].…”

Spatial Differentiation of Multi-Airport Logistics in Four Urban Agglomerations in China

“…Entropy focuses on the variability of indicators [31]. Moreover, since the CRITIC algorithm considers correlations within indicators and conflicts between indicators, it is considered a relatively perfect objective weight assignment method [32]. However, since it does not consider discretization between data, it can be improved by combining it with entropy weighting [33].…”
