ABSTRACT

The development of cold-chain logistics will not only contribute to solving the food safety problems, but also effectively promote the development of agriculture industry and animal husbandry industry. In order to be well informed of the core competence in cold-chain logistics enterprise, we evaluated the competence of cold-chain logistics enterprise in China with the combination of analytic hierarchy process (AHP) methods and fuzzy comprehensive evaluation (FCE) modeling. Then, we took a typical cold-chain logistics enterprise as an example. We find that the core competence of that cold-chain logistics enterprise is not very outstanding through investigation and evaluation. In the end, we propose several suggestions about the development pattern of cold-chain logistics enterprises on the basis of investigating and modeling results.
