In this article, a decision-making process for the potential location of new wastewater treatment units with wide community participation and acceptance is suggested. The main scientific contribution of this work is the elaboration of an independent decision-making tool, which can be used in site selection of wastewater treatment units. Specifically, at a first level, it acts as an intermediary...

Traffic congestion that results from the increased traffic demand due to the creation of new infrastructure (i.e., a newly built highway) has become a very serious problem in Korea that causes unnecessary social cost. To solve this problem, more effective transportation demand management should be considered simultaneously with the promotion of public transportation. New policies that promote t...

For many companies, green product development has become a key strategic consideration due to regulatory requirements and market trends. In this paper, the life cycle assessment technique is used to develop an innovative multi-criteria group decision-making approach that incorporates power aggregation operators and a TOPSIS-based QUALIFLEX method in order to solve green product design selection...

Multi Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) provides strong decision making in domains where selection of best alternative is highly complex. This survey paper reviews the main streams of consideration in multi criteria decision making theory and practice in detail. The main purpose is to identify various applications and the approaches, and to suggest approaches which are most robustly and effective...

Achieving sustainable machining processes has become crucial in many industries order to support development goals (e.g., good health and well-being, decent work economic growth, affordable clean energy). Many attempts have been made optimize the sustainability aspect during offer optimized cutting conditions. However, there is a vital need develop decision-making approach that can be flexible ...

A multi-objective optimization problem (MOP) is a simultaneous of more than one real-valued conflicting objective function subject to some constraints. Most MOP algorithms try provide set Pareto optimal solutions which are equally good in terms the functions. The can be infinite, and hence, analysis choice task or several among hard for decision maker (DM). In this paper, new scalarization appr...

Most of data in Multi-attribute decision making (MADM) problems are changeable rather than constant and stable. Therefore, sensitivity analysis after problem solving can effectively contribute to making accurate decisions. In this paper, we offer a new method for sensitivity analysis in multi-attribute decision making problems in which if the weights of one attribute changes, then we can dete...

• A methodology is proposed for selecting the best option Pareto solutions. Multi-objective optimization and multi-criteria decision-making methods are integrated. The model provides an optimal electric vehicle supply equipment type at workplaces. WASPAS improved by introducing Dombi Bonferroni functions flexibility. This study addresses planning of charging infrastructure As a given workplace ...
