Quality Function Deployment (QFD) is a popular planning method often used to transform customer demands/requirements into the technical characteristics of a new or improved product or service. In order to better capture (and represent) the multifarious relationships between customer requirements and technical characteristics, and the relative weights among customer requirements, in this study a...

Color Calibration Device is a key component for the performance of Medical Display Monitor (MDM). MDMs have been extensively used in hospitals in the past decades. The technological requirements of MDMs are higher than those of general purpose display monitors, but the gross profit margins of MDMS are larger as well. The purpose of this research is to build a hybrid multiple criteria decision m...

This paper applies an Analytic Network Process (ANP) to supplier selection at a Taiwanese Electronics Company. The selection process is based on the Triple Bottom Line (TBL).
