Research on Comprehensive Assessment Model for Eco-friendly Manufacturing Enterprises Based on AHP and ANN

摘要

Being significant entities which influenced resource and environment, eco-friendly manufacturing enterprises should be an important part of the society. Effectual assessment system is useful to guide enterprises toward sustainable development. The comprehensive assessment system for eco-friendly manufacturing enterprises is a complicated system. The factors that influence the the degree of eco-friendliness are complicated, it is hard to describe the relation by single model due to nonlinear relationship between them. This paper innovatively proposes a comprehensive assessment model for eco-friendly manufacturing enterprises, which breaks through the limitation of conventional assessment methods. Firstly, on the basis of calculating the weight of each index by AHP, the paper calculates the eco-friendly degree comprehensive index of eco-friendly manufacturing enterprises to provide the samples for Artificial Neural Network learning. Then, it trains and tests the sample data with Neural Network technology in order to assess comprehensive eco-friendly degree of manufacturing enterprises. The effectiveness of the methodology is verified with an empirical study by using the data of listed eco-friendly manufacturing enterprises.
