Research on methods-fusion decision technology of the key-client evaluation for urban logistics company

Commonly the current 3rd party urban logistics companies lack of mature historical data and a proper decision method to evaluate the key client in China. An individual decision method appears a certain shortage correspondingly. To solve the issue, a novel method, methods-fusion style decision technology based on D-S evidence theory is proposed to evaluate the key client of those companies. A practical comprehensive decision support system was developed by the fusion of several methods including statistic, forecasting and clustering. Eventually, the experiment demonstrated that the methods-fusion style decision technology could adapt to the current 3rd logistics company and shows to be more robust and accurate than just a single decision method.
