Abstract

According to the significance of express service, which has an impact on the high quality development of China's express delivery industry, this paper based on the quality of express delivery service problems to analyze the affecting factors and try to find out the best solution. Firstly, Based on expatiating The Service Quality (SERVQUAL) and LSQ evaluation system, an index system with five dimensions and 14 indicators indexes is designed. Then fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (FAHP) is used to determine the weight of each index and establish an evaluation model that the service quality can be fuzzily evaluated. The results show that consumers are not satisfied with the quality of current express service. With this finding, some relevant countermeasures and suggestions are proposed to improve service quality and enhance the competitiveness of express companies.
