Combinational evaluation on the competitiveness of logistics enterprise

Evaluation of competitiveness is the strategic choice for the logistics enterprise. In this paper a new framework of combinational evaluation methodology based on statistics is constructed. At first the Kendall coefficient of consistency is computed to identify whether the different single evaluation methods are compatible. A nonlinear program is constructed to determine the weight of different evaluation method result. The effect of the combinational method is determined with the index of MAPE and MSPE. Then competitiveness of logistics enterprise are evaluated with the combinational evaluation method. The evaluation index system is constructed. Composite index, TOPSIS, efficiency coefficient method and factor analysis are chosen to take evaluation. Based on above 4 single evaluation methods, combinational evaluation is constructed with the nonlinear program. The explorative results show that combinational evaluation method is a kind of good evaluation method.
