This paper proposes a method for ranking decision making units (DMUs) using some of the multiple criteria decision making / multiple attribute decision making          (MCDM /MADM) techniques, namely, interval analytic hierarchy process (IAHP)          and the technique for order preference by similarity to an ideal solution (TOPSIS).          Since the efficiency score of unity is assigned to ...

Abstract Integrating building information to support decision-making has been a key challenge in the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry. The synergy of Building Information Modelling (BIM) Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) is expected improve integration decision-making. aim this paper identify strategies between MCDM BIM. From earliest literature (2009) present, stu...

introduction: today the consumption of animal protein has been allocated a special place in human nutrition. poultry cooperatives have an important role in protein production. given the significance of producing animal products and the capabilities that the poultry cooperatives possess in this regard as well as considering the macroeconomic policies of governments respecting developing the coop...

In this study, the upcycling and recycling applications for management of waste printed circuit boards (PCBs) were compared through sequential application Streamlined Life Cycle Assessment (S-LCA) Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) techniques. Upcycling determined as gold, copper-tin alloy, lead, copper recovery activated carbon production. And, portland cement, aggregate, sawdust, fiberglas...

Multi Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) helps decision makers to select the best solution among set of alternatives with respect criteria which have different scales. Selection by comparison between in most MCDM problems needs normalizing process that maps into same scale. Hence, using normalization techniques produces a ranking and has influence effects on final ranking. So, selecting more suita...

Being able to assess software quality is essential as software is ubiquitous in every aspect of our day-to-day lives. In this paper, we rely on existing research and metrics for defining software quality and propose a way to automatically assess software quality based on these metrics. In particular, we show that the software quality assessment problem can be viewed as a multi-criteria decision...

Geographical information systems (GIS) provide forest managers with tools to use in planning forest operations by allowing them to visualize and integrate data into the planning decisions. As the forest planning process becomes increasingly complicated, there is a need to assist forest planners with operative tools. The combined use of GIS and multi-criteria decision methods (MCDM) allows fores...

Due to the efficiency to handle uncertainty information, the single valued neutrosophic set is widely used in multicriteria decision-making. In MCDM, it is inevitable to measure the distance between two single valued neutrosophic sets. In this paper, an evidence distance for neutrosophic sets is proposed. There are two main contributions of this work. One is a new method to transform the single...

According to the Multi-criteria Decision-making (MCDM) problem with criterion value for triangular fuzzy number, a kind of a MCDM method based on fuzzy number and Dempster-Shafer evidence theory is proposed. By means of the ability to deal with the uncertain information of evidence theory, the method first constructs the evidence body and the Basic Probability Assignment (BPA) function. In the ...
