Abstract

Based on characteristics of reverse logistics system and combined with the concept of green manufacturing and design, in this paper, the concept of green strength is put forward, the evaluation index system of green strength of reverse logistics is established, and green strength of reverse logistics is comprehensively evaluated by means of two-level fuzzy analytic hierarchy process, which has a good evaluation results. The research results can offer suggestions to improve reverse logistics of manufacturing companies.
