TY - JOUR TI - Evaluation and selection of transportation service provider by TOPSIS method with entropy weight AU - Wu Xu AU - Zhang Cheng AU - Yang Luojun JN - Thermal Science PY - 2021 VL - 25 IS - 2 SP - 1483 EP - 1488 PT - Article AB - In this paper, an improved technique for order of preference by similarity to ideal solution is proposed to select the optimal transportation service provider among several alternatives according to a multi-criterion method. An entropy method is embedded to determine the weights of different criteria and it is effective to avoid the subjectivity and arbitrary of choosing the weights. A case study demonstrates the proposed method is reasonable and valid for practical problems.
