Supplier selection is a multi-Criteria problem. This study proposes a hybrid model for supporting the suppliers’ selection and ranking. This research is a two-stage model designed to fully rank the suppliers where each supplier has multiple Inputs and Outputs. First, the supplier evaluation problem is formulated by Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA), since the regarded decision deals with uncertai...

Aggregation of fuzzy relations on alternatives with the help of aggregation operators is considered in two cases: – the weighted coefficients of the criteria are not present in the mathematical formula of the aggregation operators; – a fuzzy preference relation between the criteria importance is given. The main result consists in proving the properties of the aggregated relation in dependence w...

increasing global notices in environmental protection, green supply chain management (gscm) has received much attention by researchers and managers more than the past. commonly, firms have considered cost criteria to select their suppliers. despite the fact that there are various papers considering the formal criteria in supplier selection, there is a few limited numbers considering the environ...

The outbreak of COVID-19 in 2019 has brought greater international attention to emergency decision making and management. Since situations are often uncertain, prevention control crucial. For better prevent control, according the characteristics incidents, paper proposes a new form linguistic expression trape-zoidal Pythagorean fuzzy probabilistic variables express decision-making information. ...

Majorities based on difference of votes and their extension, majorities based on difference in support, were introduced in social choice voting as tools to implement the crisp preference values (votes) and the intensities of preference provided by voters when comparing pairs of alternatives, respectively, with the aim to declare which alternative is socially preferred. Moreover, these rules req...

In group decision making (GDM) problems fuzzy preference relations (FPR) are widely used for representing decision makers’ opinions on the set of alternatives. In order to avoid misleading solutions, the study of consistency and consensus has become a very important aspect. This article presents a simulated annealing (SA) based soft computing approach to optimize the consistency/consensus level...

The aim of this paper is to show that the normalizing rank aggregation method can not only be used to derive the priority vector for a multiplicative preference relation, but also for the additive transitive fuzzy preference relation. To do so, a simple functional equation between fuzzy preference’s element and priority weight is derived firstly, then, based on the equation, three methods are p...

Several choice processes of alternatives for non-homogeneous group decision making problems, assuming linguistic preference relations for expressing the opinions of individuals and linguistic values for expressing their respective power or importance degrees, are presented. These processes are designed using two choice degrees of alternatives based on the concept of fuzzy majority: quanti-er gu...

It is introduced an approach to the problem of "building logics" over sets of facts with only structured by a fuzzy relation of "consequence". Notions of "Truth" and "Falsehood" are introduced by means of two generalizations for classical Modus Ponens and Modus Tollens. Studying this concepts a theoretical base to explain the mode of reasoning in expert systems is obtained. By studying fuzzy tr...
