The ever-increased environmental pressure and ever-limited resource encourage people to consider Closed-Loop Supply Chain (CLSC), which deal with integrating product returns into the total supply chain picture over the lifecycle of the product, thereby recovering a maximum amount of value. However, as for the key enterprise of every closed-loop supply chain, the importance of reverse logistic vendor is incontrovertible. After the review of connected literatures in recent years, combined with the characteristics of the relationship between key enterprise and reverse logistic vendor, relying on the synthesis of theoretical analysis and statistical test, integrated model which is the Analytical Hierarchical Process (AHP) method based on the data processing of Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) is put forward. Finally, Empirical study is given to test the feasibility of the new model (DEA-AHP) produced in this paper.
