The work presents a multi response optimization approach to determine the optimal process parameters in wire electrical discharge machining process. Experiments have been conducted using six process parameters such as discharge current, pulse duration, pulse frequency, wire speed, wire tension and dielectric flow rate each at three levels for obtaining the responses like material removal rate, ...

TOPSIS, known as the “Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution” (TOPSIS), is one well-known methods solving “multi-criteria decision-making” (MCDM) problems. Many TOPSIS have been developed solve real-life problems using neutrosophic sets. However, no study has method under interval bipolar linguistic environments. Therefore, this aims present a new concept “interval se...

The objective of this paper is to present a technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS) algorithm to linear fractional bi-level multi-objective decision-making problem. TOPSIS is used to yield most appropriate alternative from a finite set of alternatives based upon simultaneous shortest distance from positive ideal solution (PIS) and furthest distance from negative ...

Quality credit has been an academic and commercial hotspot recently. This paper is mainly devoted into using a quantitative method to evaluate credit quality. Firstly, a plain but logical indicator system of quality credit is established. Then, the classical MCDM method TOPSIS is introduced to evaluate the credit quality of 8 air-conditioning enterprises in China market. The discussion of evalu...

Choosing the proper supplier has a critical role in design of supply chain. This problem is complicated because each supplier may fulfills some of the manufacturer criteria and choosing the best supplier is a Multiple-Criteria Decision Making problem. This paper proposes a novel hybrid approach to rank suppliers in advertising industry and considers two new criteria to evaluate the suppliers in...

This paper is devoted to present Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) method for multi-attribute group decision making under rough neutrosophic environment. The concept of rough neutrosophic set is a powerful mathematical tool to deal with uncertainty, indeterminacy and inconsistency. In this paper, a new approach for multi-attribute group decision making prob...

Warehouse location selection is a multi-criteria decision problem including both quantitative and qualitative criteria and has a strategic importance for many companies. The conventional approaches to warehouse location selection problem tend to be less effective in dealing with the imprecise or vague nature of the linguistic assessment. Under many situations, the values of the qualitative crit...

Nowadays vendor (supplier) selection has turned to an important decision-making challenge for top decisionmakers in companies; this is because an inappropriate decision affects not only that specific buyer but also the entire supply chain. In the real-world situations, due to incomplete and vague information, required data for decision making often can not be described deterministically, and ar...
