摘要

This research presents a food waste mitigation methodology that should help businesses design effective food waste prevention and reduction strategies. To this end, this paper aims to identify the main enablers of food waste and then guide managers to target root causes by conducting a cause-effect analysis. A hybrid AHP-DEMATEL approach is proposed to perform this analysis and to identify the relative importance of cause-and-effect enablers. This paper targeted the catering sector in identifying five levels (i.e., procurement and storage, processing, operation strategy, people and consumer). Data required for applying the AHP-DEMATEL approach was collected from 32 participants with management responsibilities from businesses in the catering sector. Based on an application of the AHP-DEMATEL approach, a holistic cause-effect diagram was developed to graphically illustrate the relationships between the causes and effects of food waste. Businesses could use. The methodology as a strategic tool in daily operations by managing and controlling identified root causes.
