Frequent occurrence of large-scale cascading trip-off of wind turbine raises the concern about the decision process of ordered control of reactive power compensation devices. The theory of fuzzy multi-attribute decision making is adopted to ascertain the action sequence of reactive power compensation devices. First, a set of evaluation indexes including control sensitivity, regulation margin, r...

The main purpose of this paper is to investigate the multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) under the completely unknown attributes weights. As the information collected from the various resources related to different criteria for assessing the best alternatives is always imprecise in nature. Thus, to handle the impreciseness in the data, fuzzy set theory has been used during the analysis and re...

According to the Multi-criteria Decision-making (MCDM) problem with criterion value for triangular fuzzy number, a kind of a MCDM method based on fuzzy number and Dempster-Shafer evidence theory is proposed. By means of the ability to deal with the uncertain information of evidence theory, the method first constructs the evidence body and the Basic Probability Assignment (BPA) function. In the ...

This paper investigates the risk exposure arising from the supplier evaluation criteria of cost, quality, delivery, and flexibility. An integrated method of Fuzzy Decision Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (FDEMATEL) and Fuzzy Analytical Network Process (FANP), which is able to address interaction and feedback effects between the criteria and subjectivity in the decision rating, is used to...

abstract purpose of this paper: the objectives of this paper are two folds: (1) utilizing hierarchical fuzzy technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution (topsis) approach to evaluate the most suitable rfid-based systems decision, and (2) to highlight key risks and benefits of radio frequency identification technology in healthcare industry. design/methodology/approach: resear...

Abstract Developing a sustainable healthcare system directly depends on the level of maturity in environmental, social, and economic practices. Although there are huge number researches considering aspects, to best our knowledge, no approach was found which unifies these dimensions as an integrated method assess current status development organizations. In order cope with this gap, article sugg...

PROMETHEE refers to a collection of methods of ranking in the field of multi-criteria decision making. These methods are characterized by conceptual simplicity and practical applicability. However, the nature of phenomena involving decision-making in real world leads us to use fuzzy method of preference ranking. The most common criticism on mathematical ranking procedures is that they tend to d...

this paper will introduce a new method to obtain the order weightsof the ordered weighted averaging (owa) operator. we will first show therelation between fuzzy quantifiers and neat owa operators and then offer anew combination of them. fuzzy quantifiers are applied for soft computingin modeling the optimism degree of the decision maker. in using neat operators,the ordering of the inputs is not...
