Evaluation of Influencing Factors of Food Safety in Cold Chain Logistics Based on Improved AHP

Abstract

With the continuous increase of global trade and the increasing demand of consumers for high-quality food, people pay more and more attention to how to ensure food quality and safety in cold chain logistics. The research of cold chain logistics has also become the focus of the food industry, relevant government agencies and academia. In order to study the influence of various common factors in cold chain logistics on food safety, this paper introduces the application steps of improved analytic hierarchy process in detail, and uses this method to establish a hierarchical structure model, uses the three-scale method to establish the comparison matrix of influencing factors, and obtains the weight ranking of each factor by quantitative analysis. The calculation results show that: among the 13 factors affecting food safety, the main factors are packaging, equipment failure rate, wet temperature and inspection and testing, whose weights are 0.160, 0.133, 0.118 and 0.116, respectively, which are the focus of attention in the process of cold chain logistics. The evaluation results make the influence degree of various factors affecting food safety more clear, and can also provide a reference for improving the safety of cold chain logistics and adopting effective measures and means to do a good job in safe operation management.
