Nowadays, sustainable End-of-Life vehicle (ELV) management has been recognized as the most important issue to overcome environmental and economic challenges for most companies. Hence, sustainable ELV strategies evaluation plays a crucial rule in order to improve the sustainability performance of companies. In this paper, an evaluation model based on the Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) an...

This paper extends the technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS) for solving multi-attribute group decision making (MAGDM) problems under triangular intuitionistic fuzzy sets by using its correlation coefficient. In situations where the information or the data is of the form of triangular intuitionistic fuzzy numbers (TIFNs), some arithmetic aggregation operators h...

In multi-attribute group decision making (MAGDM) problems, decision attributes of alternatives are often considered as with quantitative and qualitative information. Therefore decision making problems may include preference information in different formats. In this paper, a multi-attribute group decision making model based on numerical and uncertain linguistic information is investigated. Uncer...

This paper aims to develop a combination of Taguchi and fuzzy TOPSIS methods to solve multi-response parameter optimization problems in green manufacturing. Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM), a commonly used non-traditional manufacturing process was considered in this study. A decision making model for the selection of process parameters in order to achieve green EDM was developed. An experi...

TOPSIS is a multiple criteria method to identify solutions from a finite set of alternatives based upon simultaneous minimization of distance from an ideal point and maximization of distance from a nadir point. TOPSIS can incorporate relative weights of criterion importance. This paper reviews several applications of TOPSIS using different weighting schemes and different distance metrics, and c...

− In this paper, we first briefly present conventional TOPSIS method developed by Hwang and Yoon[10, 19] as a multi-criteria decision making technique. We then give a group decision making method based on TOPSIS method under fuzzy soft environment, and finally give an application of proposed method to show operation and effectiveness of method.

In the present competitive world, the organizations need to endeavor constantly so as to make progress as well as maintaining their current position through employing the appropriate strategies. Organizations surroundings have been undergoing rapid changes among which the different demands and the variety of customers are to be mentioned. The scarce and limited number of sources and facilities ...

Purpose: The aim of this study is applying a new method for Industrial robotic system selection. Design/methodology/approach: In this paper, the weights of each criterion are calculated using fuzzy Shannon’s Entropy. After that, fuzzy TOPSIS is utilized to rank the alternatives. After that we compare the result of Fuzzy TOPSIS with Fuzzy VIKOR method. Then we select the best Industrial Robotic ...
