Considering the difficulty and complexity involved in choosing an agricultural aircraft, it is proposed to rank agricultural aircraft based on linguistic evaluations of their qualities. Aiming this, it is used an algorithm based on the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) method and in the Technique of Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS). The linguistic parameterization i...

in last decades, the skillful planning of land resources has become a major issue for rural development. the development of cultivated areas becomes gradually impossible due to ever increasing population growth and urban development. fuzzy logic is preferred to boolean logic for land evaluation, because fuzzy techniques lead to estimate for land use suitability on a continuous scale and can the...

Because of the pressure of globalization in the last two decades, professional services has become an important strategic decision so that supplier selection is a prime concern. In the semiconductor industry, the prior researches worked on analyzing and improving the process, and evaluating the equipment manufacturers. Consequently, this study is to identify critical factors related to the wafe...

Injection mold development lead time has been reduced presently by over 50% by employing rapid prototyping based tooling methods. Rapid tooling methods however, have certain limitations in terms of mold material, accuracy, surface finish, and mold life. The relevant process knowledge, especially for newer routes, is not very well established, resulting inconsistent or inappropriate rapid toolin...

In looking for different types of large-scale activities of food sanitation supervision and security modes, improving the efficiency of food hygiene protection, this paper establishes the evaluation index system for sports food hygiene, and proposed the sports food hygiene evaluation model based on the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and the interval fuzzy TOPSIS method. AHP is used to determi...

Original scientific paper Recently companies have begun to use their storage effectively to attain leadership in the market environment, utilizing Barcode and RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) systems for warehouse management. In this study AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) and FAHP (Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process) are used to choose between Barcode and RFID systems for the company warehou...

the aim of this study is to evaluate the obstacles due to a dpsir model combined with fuzzy analytic hierarchy process technique. hence, to prioritize the responses regarding the driving forces, pressures, states and impacts, the hierarchy of the model is established. evaluations and prioritization of model results of urban transport situation in tehran have provided a number of necessary issue...

Yusuff et al. [Yusuff, R. M., Yee, K. P., & Hashmi, M. S. J. (2001). A preliminary study on the potential use of the analytical hierarchical process (AHP) to predict advanced manufacturing technology (AMT) implementation. Robotics and Computer Integrated Manufacturing, 17, 421–427.] presented the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) for forecasting the success of advanced manufacturing technology (...

Large corporations may be composed of multiple strategic business units (SBUs), each of which is responsible for its own profitability. Innovation performance management of SBUs boosts corporation business results. In the present work, SBU ranking based on innovation performance was addressed. The contribution of the proposed model was threefold: (1) it proposed a fuzzy analytic hierarchy proce...
