Supermarket Food Safety Evaluation Based on Topsis Method

This paper aims to develop a framework that evaluates the supermarket food safety, and reveals its strengths and weaknesses. It has divided the whole framework into three stages. The first stage is to construct index system to the supermarket food safety based on supply chain. The second stage is Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) based supermarket food safety evaluation. And, the third stage is Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS). The proposed framework can assist managers to comprehend the present strengths and weaknesses of their food safety. They can identify good practices from others and can benchmark them for improving weaknesses. This framework also facilitates the decision makers to better understand the complex relationships of the relevant supermarket food safety factors in decision-making.
