The Linear Programming Technique for Multidimensional Analysis of Preference (LINMAP) developed by Srinivasan and Shocker [V. Srinivasan, A.D. Shocker, Linear programming techniques for multidimensional analysis of preference, Psychometrika 38 (1973) 337–342] is one of the existing well-known methods for multiattribute decision making (MADM) problems. However, the LINMAP only can deal with MADM...

The emergence of sustainability paradigm has influenced many research disciplines including supply chain management. It has drawn the attention of manufacturing companies’ CEOs to incorporate sustainability in their supply chain and manufacturing activities. Supplier selection problem, as one of the main problems in supply chain activities, is also combined with sustainable development where tr...

At present, the demand for a third-party logistics service provider has become an increasingly important issue companies to improve customer and reduce costs. Third-party is using another company perform some tasks. There are many ways select logistic provider, like Multi- criteria decision making, statistical approaches, mathematical programming, artificial intelligence, hybrid method (or inte...

This paper focuses on multi-objective large-scale non-linear programming (MOLSNLP) problems with block angular structure. We extend the technique for order preference by similarity ideal solution (TOPSIS) to solve them. Compromise (TOPSIS) control minimizes the measure of distance, provided that the closest solution should have the shortest distance from the positive ideal solution (PIS) as wel...

The fuzzy preference framework of Graph Model for Conflict Resolution (GMCR), handling both crisp and fuzzy preferences of decision makers (DMs), is capable of calculating and predicting different conflict resolutions (equilibria) according to DMs’ different satisficing criteria. Employing this methodology, a water contamination conflict occurs at the boundary of Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces ...

Within the multicriteria aggregation-disaggregation framework, ordinal regression aims at inducing the parameters of a decision model, for example those of a utility function, which have to represent some holistic preference comparisons of a Decision Maker (DM). Usually, among the many utility functions representing the DM’s preference information, only one utility function is selected. Since s...

A selection of suitable sustainability management systems (SMS) is a major part supply chain strategies to create competitive advantage, reduce total costs, and manage long-term sustainability. framework method for prioritizing SMSs are presented in this research. Analytic hierarchy process (AHP) the most common alternative multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM). However, complex information mix...

The portfolio construction problem usually has been viewed in the framework of risk-return trade-off. Using deterministic and stochastic portfolio models used to solve the problem lead to unrealistic results as both the expected return rate and the risk are vague. Moreover, the decision maker frequently deals with insufficient data when selecting a portfolio. Using fuzzy models allows removal o...
