Multiple-criteria decision-making (MCDM) that deals with multiple criteria in decision-making environments has been explicitly applied to various decision-making fields. Nevertheless, the critical issues of uncertainty and inaccuracy generally and gradually exists in the majority of the MCDM processes because of (1) prejudice and preference of decision-makers or experts as well as (2) the insuf...

This paper presents a structured methodology for Information Systems (IS) outsourcing decision problem. The problem of selection among candidate information systems of the IS can be formulated as Multi criteria decision making (MCDM) techniques. Thus, this paper proposes a fuzzy group decision making process to evaluate and select the appropriate Information System Project (ISP) based on fuzzy ...

An integrated interactive menu driven software MCDMGDSS was developed to consider multicriterion analysis in group decision making environment. The capability of MCDMGDSS is demonstrated with the case study of Chaliyar river basin planning problem, Kerala, India to find the most suitable configuration of the reservoirs. Eight alternatives are analysed with respect to six noncommensurable discre...

Decision-making techniques are used to select the "best" alternatives under multiple and often conflicting criteria. Multicriteria decision making (MCDM) necessitates to incorporate uncertainties in the decision-making process. The major thrust of this article is to extend the framework proposed by Yager for multiple decisionmakers and fuzzy utilities (payoffs). In addition, the concept of expe...

In some MCDM techniques Ð most notably in Outranking Methods Ð the result of the comparison of a finite set of alternatives according to several criteria is summarised using a fuzzy preference relation. This fuzzy relation does not, in general, possess "nice properties" such as transitivity or completeness and elaborating a recommendation on the basis of such information is not an obvious task....

Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) techniques are gaining popularity in sustainable energy management. The techniques provide solutions to the problems involving conflicting and multiple objectives. Several methods based on weighted averages, priority setting, outranking, fuzzy principles and their combinations are employed for energy planning decisions. A review of more than 90 published pa...

The aim of this study is to calculate the environmental performance Level-2 regions spanning period between 2009 and 2020, make policy recommendations in line with relevant findings. Multi Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) methods are applied for evaluation, which total electricity consumption per capita number ventures agriculture, forestry, fishery water supply used as indicators. Initially, we...

in this paper it has been tried to present a model by usingsome changes in the classical dea models and combining these modelswith fuzzy models to eliminate these weaknesses. inputs and outputs arerecognized by using mcdm and ahp techniques and experts views. inthe next step, the gathered data is compounded by fuzzy techniques andentered in the special dea model after changing to the crisp amou...

Purpose This paper aims to classify journal papers in the context of hybrid quality function deployment QFD and multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) methods published during 2004–2021. Design/methodology/approach A conceptual classification scheme is presented analyze QFD-MCDM methods. Then some recommendations are given introduce directions for future research. Findings The results show that ...
