We present the development o f five fuzzy multiattribute decision-making methods. These methods are based on the analytic hierarchy process (original and ideal mode), the weighted-sum model, the weighted-product model, and the TOPSlS method. Moreover, these methods are examined in terms of two evaluative criteria. Computational results on test problems suggest that although all the methods are ...

The management performance of distribution center is based on multi-dimensional and multi-hierarchy factors which include many uncertainties. The goal of this paper is to combine the methods of interval-valued fuzzy evaluation (IVFE) and analytic hierarchy progress (AHP) for evaluating the management performance of distribution center. First, all the single-factors are used to fix the evaluatio...

In modern days as because there are multiple number of object-oriented software systems, it is a real challenge for everyone to choose single one system among so many and variety of alternatives. This is obviously a challenging task to find out the most appropriate software system. In this particular study Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) technique has been integrated with ISO 9126-1 and it h...

The effect of cutting tool insert geometry has significant role for surface finish in turning operation. There are many different types of tool inserts with different tool insert geometry are used in turning operation. This paper present a logical procedure to select best tool insert from alternative tool inserts for better surface finish in turning operation. The procedure based on three well ...

We built and tested a decision tool that organisations can use to properly select one business process maturity model (BPMM) out of many maturity models. This prototype consists of a novel questionnaire with decision criteria for BPMM selection, linked to a unique data set of 69 BPMMs. 14 criteria were defined by an international Delphi study, and weighed by the Analytical Hierarchy Process. Ca...

Congestion control is a critical issue in internet environment because of its complex characteristics. Network congestion control can be characterized by several criteria like causes of congestion, type of congestion symptoms, congestion control location and objectives while congestion control. Thus, network congestion control can be treated as multi criteria decision-making problem. Analytical...

In operations and service management generating revenues is as important as reducing costs. Although logistics customer service is an important measure for executives, little research has been conducted to quantify the extent to which improvements of service levels contribute to a company’s revenues. The paper applies existing fuzzy-based methods to monetarily determine the revenue contribution...

Traditionally, data mining, as part of the knowledge discovery process, relies solely on the information contained in the database to generate patterns. Recently, there has been some recognition in the field that expanding the knowledge passed to the pattern generation phase by including other domain knowledge, may have beneficial effects of the interestingness and actionability of the resultin...
