Abstract In this article, the selection of weight factor (WF) is improved using Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) based cost function (CF) optimization predictive control in surface mounted permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) drive under different conditions. Basically, empirical approach used WF instinctive and consumes excess time. TOPSIS chooses a ...

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...

in this paper a fuzzy analytical network process model for supporting the vendor selection process in strategic situations is suggested. first, the vendor evaluation problem is putting together by use of the multi-criteria decision-making (mcdm) approach and a five-step hybrid process, which incorporates the technique of fuzzy analytical network process. then the modified topsis (technique for ...
