Performance Evaluation of Low-Carbon Supply Chain Based on Rough Set
Publication: ICTE 2011
Abstract
Nowadays, the low carbon economy as the theme of the green wave is sweeping the world. At low energy consumption, low pollution, low-emission goals for economic development under the precondition of the pursuit of high efficiency while minimizing carbon emissions and reduce the logistics activities on the environment pollution and ensure sustainable development, will become important to enhance competitiveness means and the determining factor. And thus directly cause the emergence of low-carbon supply chain management, which combined low carbon with sustainable development idea. However, the performance evaluation is a critical problem facing in the implementation process of the low-carbon supply chain management. Not only the performance evaluation can control the effectiveness of critical areas, but also can provides the basis decision analysis for the development and optimization of the entire low-carbon supply chain, thus improving the overall performance of low-carbon supply chain. In this paper, the Rough Set Theory is used to building the knowledge base of a low-carbon supply chain performance evaluation, through knowledge reduction, simplified performance evaluation, and calculating the comprehensive evaluation index to weights selection.
