Study On The Selection Of Logistics Service Provider Of New Manufacturing Enterprises Based On FCM Methods

In the context of the knowledge economy, traditional manufacturing is under pressure to upgrade to the new service manufacturing, “service enhancements” has become the main path to manufacturing. As the same time, there are many new manufacturing enterprises set up every year, because it has a vast market in China. In order to enhance core competitiveness, reduce costs and provide better logistics service to customers, the majority of new manufacturing enterprises outsource their logistics business. However, according to the report of China’s road network, the number of professional logistics service providers will be an annual rate of 16%- 25% growth in the logistics market of China. Faced with the large number of logistics service providers which have differences in service capabilities and quality in the market, the new manufacturing enterprises need to use a scientific and practical approach to evaluation of logistics service providers. Therefore, how to select the logistics service provider with a scientific and practical approach is the main purpose of this article. This study will expand the following two aspects.The basic research has been completed in the section. Firstly, we describe the research background, purpose and etc. and discuss the criterion and method of evaluation of logistics service providers in detail. Then, we found that current situation of the criterion of evaluation of logistics service provider had not to consider the characteristic of specific industries, and the methods of evaluation of logistics service provider did not consider the mutual impact of the evaluation factors. Finally, this article shows the approach of the fuzzy cognitive map(FCM)from the theoretical and applied research reviewed in detail and discusses iteration rule and algorithms of FCM for this study. It provides a theory foundation for the evaluation of logistics service provider based with FCM.The core research has been completed in this section. On the basis of the collection of relevant information, this article analyzes logistics feature of new manufacturing enterprises and questionnaires to new manufacturing enterprises for collecting the factors of evaluation of logistics service provider. Then, this article discusses the mutual impact of various factors and establishes the fuzzy cognitive map model of evaluation of logistics service provider. Finally, according to the logistics need of a new manufacturing enterprise, we evaluate the logistics service providers of based on FCM. As the same time, we evaluate the logistics service providers of the new manufacturing enterprise based on AHP, and compare the results to evaluation of logistics service provider between the methods based on FCM and AHP.The result shows that the feedback relationship between evaluation factors will affect the final results of the evaluation of logistics service provider. FCM can obtain a more accurate weight and better evaluate logistics service providers, and provide reference and decision-making for the other new manufacturer.
