Abstract
Depletion of energy and environment pollution problems are the unprecedented challenges faced by the conventional chemical industry in China. The ever-growing awareness of energy and environment protection makes sustainable development increasingly play the crucial role in China's chemical industry. Most existing methods about chemical industry evaluation are economic-oriented, which neglect the environmental and social issues, especially conflicts among them. This paper develops a novel hybrid multiple criteria decision making framework under bipolar linguistic fuzzy environment based on VIKOR and fuzzy cognitive map to evaluate sustainable chemical industry. The new method captures the characteristics of uncertainty, inconsistency and complexity in the evaluation process of sustainable chemical industry. Meanwhile, combination of fuzzy cognitive map technique makes the new method consider not only the importance but also the interrelations about criteria and obtain better insight into sustainable chemical industry evaluation. A case study and comparison analysis with existing methods reflect the new proposed framework is more suitable to the needs of environment and energy protection in the sustainable chemical industry.
Highlights
Over the past three decades, China’s economy has experienced high speed development since its policy of reforming and opening [19]
The new method is based on fuzzy cognitive map (FCM) [12] and VIKOR [13] under the bipolar linguistic fuzzy environment
According to the above analysis, this paper develops a novel hybrid multiple criteria decision making framework under bipolar linguistic fuzzy environment based on VIKOR, and combination of FCM technique, to effectively evaluate sustainable chemical industry
Summary
Over the past three decades, China’s economy has experienced high speed development since its policy of reforming and opening [19]. FCM under bipolar linguistic fuzzy environment is developed to reflect the interrelations of criteria about sustainable chemical industry evaluation. According to the above analysis, this paper develops a novel hybrid multiple criteria decision making framework under bipolar linguistic fuzzy environment based on VIKOR, and combination of FCM technique, to effectively evaluate sustainable chemical industry. The inconsistent sustainable chemical industry evaluation framework under the bipolar linguistic fuzzy environment based on VIKOR and FCM is proposed. Considering complexity of sustainable chemical industry evaluation problem, bipolar linguistic fuzzy number αij ∈ Ω is used to make evaluation In this case, three experts are invited to make evaluation, and the BLFMs Ao(o = 1, 2, 3) given by the oth expert are demonstrated in Tables, respectively.
