According to the basic meaning of each rating value, the evaluator can score according to the effective response degree of the evaluation quality to determine the score value of each index. If there are n evaluation indicators and m scores in the food machinery equipment selection scheme, the expression of the total score value W is:


5) Determine weighted score values ​​and comprehensive evaluation. The weighted score of the quality evaluation index of food machinery equipment selection refers to the product of the weighting coefficient of the evaluation index and its score value. Its expression is:


According to the above-mentioned weighted score value comprehensive calculation result R, the degree of the weighted score value can be compared and judged, and the larger the R value, the better. If the evaluation is based on the 5-point scale method, when the calculation result is 3 points, it means that the quality of the selection matching is general; when the calculation result is 4 points, it means that the quality of the selection matching is better; when the calculation result is 5 points , indicating that the quality of the selection package is very good. If the calculation result is below 3 points, it means that the quality of the selection matching is poor or very poor. The selection scheme of food machinery equipment should be modified and re-evaluated.
