comparing the performance evaluation models of gas refineries using ahp and topsis

Background: to basically solve the critical environmental problems, macro and infrastructuralperspectives of rational development should be designed following environmental protectionrules. creating the proper performance measurement systems in every organization has had apromising interest in university studies, and many researchers are working on it.methods: this research intends to compare and rank 4 evaluation performance models usedin gas refineries. to achieve the desired model in this study, we employed the grounded theory.the study research consisted of 20 professionals and health, safety, and environmental (hse)managers of gas refineries who had relevant experience and skills in this area. the normal scorewas estimated based on the weight obtained from the analytic hierarchy process (ahp) to applythe technique for order preference by similarity to an ideal solution (topsis) process andprioritize the models.results: the pairwise comparison matrix of 4 research models of the balanced scoring card,european foundation for quality management business excellence model, iran national qualityaward, and environmental performance evaluation depicted that the geometric mean of theevaluation criteria includes the following items: the capability to quantify qualitative data forenvironmental performance, facilitating, efficient implementing, structuring, and mapping aroadmap of organization maturity to select an environmental performance estimated at 1.22,0.90, 0.95, and 0.96, respectively. also, the normal weights of these four criteria are estimated at0.3039423, 0.2242449, 0.2347026, and 0.2371102, respectively.conclusion: the findings resulting from prioritizing the organization’s environmentalperformance evaluation (epe) models based on topsis depicted that the suggested model withrelative proximity to 99% is the first choice of epe for the gas refinery.
