Matter-Elements Evaluation Approach of Logistics Green Degree Based on Information Entropy Theory

Publication: ICLEM 2010: Logistics For Sustained Economic Development: Infrastructure, Information, Integration

Abstract

In recent years, many logistics enterprises actively participated in green logistics to reduce resource consumption and environmental pollution and improve the enterprise's logistics green degree level. Matter elements evaluation based on information entropy theory was applied to evaluate the green degree of logistics enterprise systems. First, the logistics green degree was taken as an indices system. Second, the logistics green degree was regarded as the pending multi-dimensional matter-element and the matter elements analysis model was applied to quantitative evaluation indices. Then, the weights of the evaluation indices were figured out by applying the information entropy theory; Finally, synthesized correlative degree of indices in logistics green degree was figured out, thus the green development grade of the logistics enterprise was gained. The case evaluation study reveals that the logistics green degree can be determined objectively and practicably with this evaluation approach.
