The use of interval judgment in the analytical hierarchy process, called Interval Analytic Hierarchy Process (IAHP), has begun to grow in many decision making environments, providing an e ective means of modeling the presence of uncertainty in a decision makers judgment or representing comparisons in group decision making. Linear programming method can be used for generating weights in that sit...

Supplier selection is usually involved a multi-criteria evaluation to assist decision-making. This study proposed a simple method for vendor selection. The proposed procedure utilizes the structure of criteria in analytic hierarchy process (AHP) model and employs consistent fuzzy preference relations (CFPR) to construct the decision matrices. The advantage of CFPR is computational simplicity an...

Flood is one of the most destructive natural hazards which impose vast costs in order to compensate its effects, especially in areas where there are manifestations of human development (such as cities). Urban development, particularly in the margins of rivers, has increased flood damages in recent decades. The aim of this study was to develop flood hazard maps of Birjand plain based on analyses...

Developing low-carbon tourism can not only improve the ecological environment, but also promote development of economy in China. To select a desirable destination, we need to consider multiple conflicting and incommensurate criteria, simultaneously. However, traditional decision-making methods such as analytical hierarchy process Delphi fail model complex cognition decision makers. In this rega...

In order to ease the replication process and to encourage entrepreneurship development through franchise package, ERP system needs to be deployed. Considering the widely available choices of ERP systems to date and the multi criteria decision making nature of selecting ERP,...

This work focuses on the use of mult i-criteria decision-making method AHP for using in educational and vocational guidance. Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP), proposed by the mathematician Thomas Saaty in 1980, is a method of analysis greatly used in the context of a mult i-criteria analysis; it allows the comparison and the choice between the preset options. To achieve this goal, a vital wor...

The purpose of this paper is to propose a case of using expert decision-making of analytical hierarchy process (AHP) method to finding the best e-commerce platform. This study to finding five important factors are shop fee, annual fee, publication costs, transaction costs and security by vendors, merchants and customers; after using expert questionnaires to choice four shopping platforms (yahoo...

Evaluating alignments for a transportation corridor is a complex process that involves many decision makers and stakeholders. Capturing input about important considerations is vital to the process of alignment selection and is an iterative process. Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) provides a systematic methodology to compare, select, and rank multiple alternatives using disparate data sour...
