The TOPSIS process is one of the most comprehensive systems designed for decision making with multiple criteria, since this technique enables formulation of the problem as decision matrix, as well as the possibility of considering different quantitative and qualitative criteria in the problem. Fuzzy TOPSIS methods have been introduced to make fundamental decisions that make decisions decisions ...

In recent years, the mobile devices are equipped with several wireless interfaces in heterogeneous environments which integrate a multitude of radio access technologies (RAT’s). The evolution of these technologies will allow the users to benefit simultaneously from these RAT’s. However, the most important issue is how to choose the most suitable access network for mobile’s user which can be use...

This paper compares two multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) approaches based on linguistic label assessment. The first approach consists of a modified fuzzy TOPSIS methodology introduced by Kaya and Kahraman in 2011. The second approach, introduced by Agell et al. in 2012, is based on qualitative reasoning techniques for ranking multi-attribute alternatives in group decision-making with lingu...

Thisarticleis to determine thecompany'sstrategyanditsstrategicpositioning. At first, the most influential internal and external elements were detected with the help of the techniques of strategy formulation. Then using of Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats (SWOT) matrix, we formulated the primary organizational strategies. Using of fuzzy TOPSIS, priorityscore of strategies isspeci...

In view of the adverse effect of declining cluster, a method of analyzing and assessing declining risks of mature cluster is studied. Through analyzing causes of declining risks, an evaluation index system for declining risks is built. According to the index system, the characteristic patterns of different risk levels are described. Owing to the complexity and uncertainty of cluster system, a T...

The implementation of lean manufacturing concepts has had a significant impact on various industries. Many companies around the world have attempted to implement lean manufacturing, but the lack of an obvious understanding of lean measurement and its performance has caused its implementation to fail. This paper presents an innovative approach by using fuzzy TOPSIS to measure the production lean...

<span lang="EN-US">This paper proposes a method to rank the loads in microgrid by means of weight that combines criteria together terms both technical and economic aspects. The fuzzy analytic hierarchy process technique for order preference similarity ideal solution (fuzzy AHP TOPSIS) algorithm is used calculate this combined weight. be considered are load importance factor (LIF), voltage...
