Assessment on Comprehensive Benefit of Packaging Materials based on AHP

The indexes system of comprehensive benefit of typical packaging materials was built and the Analytical Hierarchy Process(AHP) was employed to analyze and assess this system.The qualitative assessment was gained by the survey and the statistics theory was employed to process the qualitative data.The pair-comparison matrix was built and the maximum characteristic root and vector were computed by the sum-product method.Finally the weight of every influence factor was defined and the importance order of every influence factor was gained.According to weight value and the result of importance order,the comprehensive benefit of typical packaging materials was generally assessed.The results can be reference for decision making of the future development direction for packaging material enterprises.
