Site Selection with TOPSIS and Entropy Weight for Network Nodes in a Closed-Loop Military Supply Chain

Site selection for network nodes in closed-loop military supply chain influences many others functional strategies of supply chain network, such as transportation, distribution, inventory, recuperation and recycle. This paper seeks out the proper method of site selection based on the characters analysis of site selection in closed-loop military supply chain network, and proposes an improved TOPSIS method that combined with entropy weight. What’s more, through the analysis it could find that the entropy weight calculation manner is simplified to improve the efficiency of site selection in closed-loop military supply chain.
