Abstract

This paper puts forward a comprehensive method for the Evaluation of a logistic service provider using ANP. The proposed method consists of two parts: preliminary screening of the available providers, and an analytic network process-based final Evaluation. The criteria, which are relevant in the Evaluation of a provider, have been identified and used to construct an ANP model. Thereafter, the application of ANP for the final Evaluation of a provider has been demonstrated through an illustration. This approach enables the decision-makers to better understand the complex relationships of the relevant attributes in the decision-making, which may subsequently improve the reliability of the decision.
