The analytic hierarchy process (AHP) was developed to aid decision makers to rank or sort information based on a number of criteria. A recent advance is the DS/AHP method which incorporates the Dempster–Shafer theory of evidence with AHP. This method allows judgements on groups of decision alternatives (DA) to be made, it also offers a measure of uncertainty in the final results. In this paper ...

The many feasible alternatives and conflicting objectives make equipment selection in materials handling a complicated task. This paper presents utilizing Monte Carlo (MC) simulation combined with the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) to evaluate and select the most appropriate Material Handling Equipment (MHE). The proposed hybrid model was built on the base of material handling equation to ide...

Since establishing the Sustainable Development Goals in 2015, assessment of sustainability performance existing and future infrastructures has been spotlight scientific community. This is because construction sector essential for promoting social welfare economic development countries, but also one main environmental stressors to date. However, assessing infrastructure throughout its life cycle...

Environmental impact assessment (EIA) is an intrinsically complex multi-dimensional process, involving multiple criteria and multiple actors. Multi-criteria methods can serve as useful decision aids for carrying out the EIA. This paper proposes the use of a multi-criteria technique, namely the analytic hierarchy process (AHP), for the purpose. AHP has the flexibility to combine quantitative and...

The paper aims to introduce a model of multiple criteria decision making identify the reasons that cause spread monkeypox virus. These days, this virus is widely all across globe. To study this, hybrid named as trapezoidal fuzzy full consistency method (FUCOM)-AHP proposed by taking benefits number, FUCOM and AHP process. This will give an innovative determine subjective weighting associated wi...

This study was to search for the desirable direction of the sidewalk planning in Korea by establishing the concepts of walking and pedestrian space, and analyzing the advanced precedents in and out of country. Also, based on the precedent studies and relevant laws, regulations, and systems, it aimed for the following sequential process: firstly, to derive design elements from the functions and ...

In this paper, we use experimental economics methods to test how well Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) fares as a choice support system in a real decision problem. AHP provides a ranking that we statistically compare with three additional rankings given by the subjects in the experiment: one at the beginning, one after providing AHP with the necessary pair-wise comparisons and one after learnin...

This study recommends a GIS-based (Geographic Information Systems) and multi-criteria evaluation for site selection of gas power plant in Natanz City of Iran. The multi-criteria decision framework integrates legal requirements and physical constraints related to environmental and economic concerns. It also builds a hierarchy model for gas power plant suitability. The methodologies used for site...

Teaching quality is the lifeblood of college survival and development, and improving the teaching quality is the eternal theme of teaching management. To establish teaching quality monitoring system is an important measure to guarantee improvement of the teaching quality. And the teaching quality evaluation is an effective way to improve the teaching quality. By reasonable teaching evaluation, ...
