Paper Types and Flute Profiles Selection of Corrugated Box Based on the DEA-EWM-TOPSIS Model
This paper aims to evaluate the combination schemes of the liner,the medium,inner liner and flute type of corrugated boxes,and provide scientifically corrugated boxes'selection for solving the problem of unreasonable selection caused by experience or peer reference.This study attempted to propose a solution that combinates the cross-efficiency data envelopment analysis(DEA),the entropy weight method(EWM)and technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution(TOPSIS),to select the paper types and flute profiles for a corru-gated box.Furthermore,a software,called carton selection,had been developed for supporting its selection.It helped decision makers se-lect cartons with the best balance between performance and cost.This study took the corrugated box with 2 kg internal weight and 460 mm overall size as an example,and obtained the data of evaluation indexes of corrugated boxes through the national standard and formulas.Then,ranking the model calculation resulted to select the best recommended scheme.This paper coupled the multivariable factors and then optimized as a whole,which provided an effective and convenient method for the selection decision of corrugated box.
