Teacher recruitment is a multi-criteria group decisionmaking process involving subjectivity, imprecision, and fuzziness that can be suitably represented by neutrosophic sets. Neutrosophic set, a generalization of fuzzy sets is characterized by a truth-membership function, falsity-membership function and an indeterminacy-membership function. These functions are real standard or non-standard subs...

Background: The effectiveness and adequacy of occupational health and safety management system should be monitored and evaluated at organization level on a regular basis. Safety audit has a clear role in the development of organizations safety management systems. Internal safety audit is a method to appraise to the management the current status of occupational health and safety at workplace. Se...

Selection of a most appropriate material is a very important task in design process of every product. There is a need for simple, systematic, and logical methods or mathematical tools to guide decision makers in considering a number of selection attributes and their interrelations and in making right decisions. This paper proposes a novel multiple attribute decision making (MADM) method for sol...

-Need of robust multi criteria decision making techniques are becoming essential in day today life for decision makers to make appropriate decisions. This paper attempts to explore robustness through rank reversal properties of the Data Envelopment Analytic Hierarchy Process (DEAHP) in decision making. DEAHP uses the principles of Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) to generate the local weights of...

10 This article proposes a framework to handle multiattribute group decision making 11 problems with incomplete pairwise comparison preference over decision alternatives 12 where qualitative and quantitative attribute values are furnished as linguistic variables 13 and crisp numbers, respectively. Attribute assessments are then converted to interval14 valued intuitionistic fuzzy numbers (IVIFNs...

Based on the additive multi-attribute value model for multiple attribute decision making (MADM) problems, this paper investigates how the set of attribute weights (or weight-set thereafter) is determined according to preference orders of alternatives given by decision makers. The weight-set is a bounded convex polyhedron and can be written as a convex combination of the extreme points. We give ...

The problem of selecting 3PL (Third Party Logistics) suppliers is a major issue in the management supply chain and improvement production manufacturing company. A supplier can be defined as company that provides contract logistics services to manufacturer, or main user product service. It called third party because provider does not own products but participates between manufacturer given produ...

In this paper, a new multi-criteria decision-making procedure is presented, which captures preferential information in the form of the threshold model. It is based on the ELECTRE-like sorting analysis restricted by the localization principle, which enables high adaptability of the decision model and reduces the cognitive load imposed on the decision-makers. It lays the foundation for the introd...
