The following study focuses on the evaluation of a multi criteria decision problem by use of fuzzy logic. We will demonstrate the methodological considerations concerning group decision and fuzziness on the basis of a specific problem: the search for energy alternatives and a proper evaluation of these alternatives (in comparison to existing ones). This issue will be of increasing importance wi...

This study utilized the failure modes and effects analysis (FMEA) to analyze the risks of green components in compliance with the European Union (EU) the Restriction of Hazardous Substance (RoHS) directive in the incoming quality control (IQC) stage, which is based on a case of an OEM/ODM electronic manufacturer in Taiwan. There are three indices of FMEA in this work: the occurrence (O) that ca...

Fuzzy AHP is often used in multi-criteria decision analysis. In this paper we consider an example given by Deng [I] and in particular the method used to approximate the fuzzy principle eigenvector of the fuzzy pairwise comparison matrices. We show Nigel Steele Computational Intelligence Group, School of Mathematical and Information Sciences, Coventry University, Priory Street, Coventry. CV1 5FB...

This paper presents an integrated simulation, multivariate analysis and multiple decision analysis for railway system improvement and optimization. Furthermore, the integrated model is based on data envelopment analysis (DEA) and analytical hierarchy process (AHP) that is integrated with computer simulation [24]. The integrated DEA and AHP simulation model can be used for selecting optimum alte...

-The multi-criteria decision making (MCDM)problems with fuzzy preference information on alternatives are essential problems of the importance of weighting and ranking. In order to solve this problem, Analytical Hierarchy Process(AHP) and fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method are coupled to form a new approach named Fuzzy-AHP.This method is different from the traditional FAHP,which used to facil...

introduction: balanced scorecard (bsc) is regarded as one of the successful tools in performance measurement. however, it neither absolutely nor comparatively provides the weight of each perspective and indicators related to each perspective. in this study, we applied a fuzzy analytical hierarchy process (fahp) to weight the perspectives and bsc indicators in hospital. methods: this applied, de...

the aim of this study was to develop an optimal sustainable forest plantation based on goal programming and analytic hierarchy process (ahp) methods. this study was carried out in guilan province, north of iran. first of all, the ecological capability of the study area for plantation establishment/maintenance was evaluated based on multi-factor method and specific ecological makhdoum model by m...

the specific leadership style of hassan sabbah and the specific obedience style of followers, because of voluntary blind obedience of followers from hassan sabbah, is one of the most prominent samples for methodologies leadership studies and blind obedience process. in this study, we have used two different approaches towards the analysis of ismailis’s blind obedience from hassan sabbah. in one...

this research conducted in order to prioritize the effective criteria on development of medicinal plants cultivation in north khorasan province using analytical hierarchy process (ahp) and delphi methods. for this purpose, a list of effective factors offered to delphi group. analysis of delphi process showed that among 23 offered factors 19 factors, had greater impact on development of medicina...
