This paper extended TOPSIS (Technique for Order Preference by Similarity Ideal Solution) method for solving Two-Level Large Scale Linear Multiobjective Optimization Problems with Stochastic Parameters in the righthand side of the constraints (TL-LSLMOP-SP)rhs of block angular structure. In order to obtain a compromise ( satisfactory) solution to the (TL-LSLMOP-SP)rhs of block angular structure ...

Due to an increased awareness and significant environmental pressures from various stakeholders, companies have begun to realize the significance of incorporating green practices into their daily activities. This paper proposes a framework using Fuzzy TOPSIS to select green suppliers for a Brazilian electronics company; our framework is built on the criteria of green supply chain management (GS...

Interruption is occurred by partial participation of workflows with adding new activity to a worker. A concerned worker to the interrupted workflow must restructure task assignment to improve consumed operating time by interruption. An opportunity of decision making is occurred to the workers to select appropriate tasks. However, preassignment of tasks to workers includes an expectation of supe...

Abstract: As an efficient way to deal with the global climate change and energy shortage problems, a strong, self-healing, compatible, economic and integrative smart gird is under construction in China, which is supported by large amounts of investments and advanced technologies. To promote the construction, operation and sustainable development of Strong Smart Grid (SSG), a novel hybrid framew...

Machine tool selection is a very complex procedure. It involves deep analysis of various factors affecting functioning and performance. CNC machine tool selection is also a such kind of problem[5]. Objective of this study is to perform various MCDM methods for selecting most appropriate machine tool. AHP method is used to calculate the weights of various criteria[10] . The numerical problem con...

Abstract: With the globalization of online shopping, deterioration of the ecological environment and the increasing pressure of urban transportation, a novel logistics service mode—joint distribution (JD)—was developed. Selecting the optimal partner combination is important to ensure the joint distribution alliance (JDA) is sustainable and stable, taking into consideration conflicting criteria....

There are usually more requirements than feasible given valuable ones for implementation in order to ensure the delivery of a high value system. Simple prioritization approaches like 110 ranking or MoSCoW lead to numerous ties requiring one to repeat the process for the tied items. In a previous study [1] we analyzed 17 different prioritization frameworks that could be used to perform value-bas...

This paper presents a fuzzy multiple criteria decision making (FMCDM) problem with the Technique for Order Performance by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) based on the new concept of positive and negative ideal solution. Whereas decision making is a process which accuracy of data play major role to select the best alternative, considering decision making problems in fuzzy environments moti...

Software is everywhere. However, software is not always trustworthy. Confronting the demand of software trustworthiness evaluation, this paper proposes a novel software trustworthiness evaluation approach based on combination weights (CW) and improved TOPSIS methods. The determination of CW relies on exper gments and mathematical computation together. FAHP method is used to determine the import...

Multi-criteria group decision-making is a process in which decision makers assess the performance of alternatives on the basis of conflicting criteria to opt the most worthy alternative as solution. TOPSIS and ELECTRE are effective and commonly used methods to solve multiple criteria decision-making problems. The aim of this study is to propose two new models, namely, complex Pythagorean fuzzy ...
