Distribution channel management not only consists of choosing distribution channels. In fact, probably the most difficult phase of the distribution management starts after this choice. Determining an appropriate organization strategy for distribution channel management is like a problem of concern to marketing practitioners and academics as well in this phase.

With the advent of dynamic website usually all business processes of a business organization are linked with the website of the organization. This is resulted in designing of a complex and gigantic website which may result in slow download and unfriendly navigation. Satisfying the end user need is one of the key principles of designing an effective website. As there are different users for give...

The fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (fuzzy AHP) and fuzzy decision making trial and evaluation laboratory (fuzzy DEMATEL) have been used to obtain weights for criteria and relationships among dimensions and criteria respectively. The twomethods could be integrated since it serves different purposes. Previous research suggested that the weights of criteria and the relationships among dimensions...

This paper describes an application model that couples Analytical Hierarchy Process(AHP) and fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method , which named Fuzzy-AHP(FAHP). AHP has its own superiority in computing index weight and comparing index in the same row than at classifying level. While fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method is good at classifying level. Taking into account their respective advanta...

The route recommendation system helps the driver find best between origin and destination. A often suggests its decision without considering some criteria. This paper proposes a multicriteria decision-making method, namely Fuzzy—Analytic Hierarchy Process—Express (F-AHP-Express) for recommending personal travel from several alternative routes. It is calculated based on driving preferences of ro...

Abstract The fast-fashion business model is marred by high resource consumption and enormous emission of greenhouse gases. It based on inaccurate forecasts, resulting in excess supply than demand. Globally, 85% two-week-old garments end up as unfashionable or worn-out items that must be discarded waste, disposed for recycling, donated to charities. With this colossal increase textile efficiency...

This paper concerns with proposing a fuzzy logic based expert system to breakthrough the problem of alternatives evaluation in Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). AHP as a multi criteria decision aid helped decision makers for analyzing and prioritizing the alternatives in a hierarchical structure. During times AHP encountered some problems. Hence, fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (FAHP) and some...

The Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) proposed by T. L. Saaty has been widely used in decision making. Inner dependence method AHP is used for cases in which criteria or alternatives are not independent enough and using the original AHP or inner dependence AHP may cause results to lose reliability because the comparison matrix is not necessarily sufficiently consistent. In such cases, fuzzy repr...
