Data envelopment analysis (DEA) has been widely applied in evaluating multicriteria decision making problems, which have multi-input and multi-output. However, the traditional DEA method does neither take the decision maker’s subjective preferences to the individual criteria into consideration nor rank the selected options or decision making units (DMUs). On the other hand, Satty’s analytical h...

Milk Campaign has played a key role in national strategy of prosperous and vigorous economy in one country, consequently, milk security will have a direct impact on sound mind and body of the nation. By means of accelerating the fuzzy AHP screening index of genetic algorithm and constructing evaluation index system of liquid milk packaging security, the study puts forward the information entrop...

This paper is concerned with the make-or-buy decision model for manufacturing and procurement problems. We develop a web-based two-step approach such as: 1) the first step, we used the multi-attribute analysis method using AHP(analytic hierarchy process) and 2) second step we used fuzzy set ranking methodologies to integrate the special decision problems that are the problems of multiobjective,...

The inconsistency of judgments in the fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is a crucial issue. To make the appropriate decision, the inconsistency in decision maker's (DM) judgments needs to be eliminated or reduced. This paper proposes two mathematical models to deal with inconsistency in Fuzzy AHP. In the first model, the DM's judgments are modified where the preference order of the DM's ju...

The aim of this chapter is to investigate the decision process of manufacturing systems (MSs) under uncertain conditions. The decision process needs a systematic approach to structure the system requirements and highlight the management preferences while considering vague criteria. In order to establish a suitable empirical approach for the decision process compatible with the current/future re...

Industrial engineering is a field of profession that offers various work areas around the world. Since it has a wide variety of work areas, students encounter with the problem of taking a decision on which sector to work in the future. Therefore, a questionnaire has been conducted on 60 students who study at Industrial Engineering department at different universities in Turkey. Fuzzy AHP (Analy...

Emergency management (EM) is a very important issue with various kinds of emergency events frequently taking place. One of the most important components of EM is to evaluate the emergency response capacity (ERC) of emergency department or emergency alternative. Because of time pressure, lack of experience and data, experts often evaluate the importance and the ratings of qualitative criteria in...

In parallel to computer technology drastically developing, various simulation software packages focusing on solving different kinds of engineering problems have been introduced to the world market. As the result of this, the selection of proper simulation software has been of considerable importance to any simulation analyst in a simulation project. On the other hand, the best satisfying simula...
