With the growing competition, many construction organizations attempt to improve their productivity, quality, and efficiency. Construction waste management, by means of reverse logistics, becomes a key issue to improve the productivity, and raise the company’s green image. In this study, four key reverse logistics methods, including the direct reuse, the remanufacturing, the recycling, and the ...

The paper analysis students’ evaluation issues in case teaching mode. The evaluation indexes were selected by expert experience and fuzzy prioritization method. Thus the students’ grade evaluation as a multidimensional index system of case teaching is established as a reasonable method based on Analytic Hierarchy Process, AHP. It can raise the equity of score and the enthusiasm of students from...

In this work the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) method has been used to evaluate the best action to be performed by a public transit company with reference to a general goal aimed at customer satisfaction. The tested procedure can help the planner to select the most effective action with reference to the general goal by using in optimal way the available resources.

Decision-making models often deal with problems that involve multiple criteria analysis in order to assess alternatives in various decision-making settings. On the basis of a systematic process, the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) has recently been recognized as a proven decision-making tool in a wide variety of fields. However, new methods to cope with evolving or scaled problems are emerging...

In this paper we propose a multi-objective mathematical model to aid the marketing team of a company in customer service marketing. Customer reflects to the services provided by a company, and the reflections affect the profit of the company. Thus, the services can be evaluated by the customers to imply the company's performances. First, the services are purified based on the opinions of th...

The Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) proposed by T. L. Saaty has been widely used in decision making. Inner dependence method AHP is used for cases in which criteria or alternatives are not independent enough and using the original AHP or inner dependence AHP may cause results to lose reliability because the comparison matrix is not necessarily sufficiently consistent. In such cases, fuzzy repr...

The paper describes a simulation approach based on Saaty’s Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) to assess the probability of winning in sealed auctions where competing bids are assessed on a multiple criteria basis. It deals with the uncertainty associated with subjective and multiple assessments. Deuxième Congrès International Franco-Québécois de Génie Industriel ALBI 1997

The multi-attribute decision-making methods allow to solve arbitrary problems governed by several parameters. In this paper, the choice of a composite material was analyzed, by considering the availability from four companies. The multi-attribute decision Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) procedure was used to select the best levels for different attributes, both parametric and non-parametric, a...

In this paper we describe a new approach that uses multicriteria decision making and the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) for integrating privacy and safety criteria into planning tasks. We apply the approach to the journey planning using two criteria: (i) a willingness-toshare-data (WSD) metric to control data disclosure, and (ii) the number of unsatisfied safety preferences (USP) metric to mi...
