Vendor performance plays a key role in price, quality, timely delivery and service in achieving the goals of the supply chain. Given this, today's supplier performance has become a critical element in the success or failure of a company. In this study, an idealized planning model with multi-criteria decision-making approach with network analysis tool based on the expansion of fuzzy quality func...

Decision making is a common process in human activities. Every person or organization needs to make decisions besides dealing with uncertainty and vagueness associated with human cognition. The theory of fuzzy logic provides a mathematical base to model the uncertainities. Hesitant fuzzy linguistic term set (HFLTS) creates an appropriate method to deal with uncertainty in decision making. Manag...

Testability is an essential criterion for software quality and it is always difficult to measure. Multicriteria Decision Making (MCDM) approaches are very effectively and widely used in predicting the quality of the software. MCDM techniques are very helpful in ambiguous range of decisions. It has the ability to grip the uncertainty of pairwise comparisons. In this paper, multicriteria decision...

Eliciting the preferences of a decision maker is a crucial step when applying multi-criteria decision aid methods on real applications. Yet it remains an open research question, especially in the context of the Promethee methods. In this paper, we propose a bi-objective optimization model to tackle the preference elicitation problem. Its main advantage over the widely spread linear programming ...

Making an informed decision with regards to a suitable business location or site selection for organizations is becoming challenging for business decision makers globally; and even more challenging in business environment that are saddled with uncertainties. The continues raise of multiple criteria variation of site preferences has also necessitated the application of advanced decision making t...

This paper describes the application of a well-known Multi Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) technique called Preference Ranking Organization METHod for Enrichment Evaluation (PROMETHEE II) to explore porphyry copper deposits. Various raster-based evidential layers involving geological, geophysical, and geochemical geo-datasets are integrated to prepare a mineral prospectivity mapping (MPM). In a...

 Because the consciousness of environmental protection, many issues related to Green Supply Chains (GSC) are discussed. Different from traditional supply chains, GSC are concerned about environmental impacts and material utilization issues, which make the selection of the suppliers more complicated. The mindset of “prevention prior to cure” and the restrictions of the European Union render gre...

This article aims to propose a multi-criteria model support decision-making from portfolio in selecting technologies for Distributed Generation of Energy (DGE) projects based on the characteristics geographic space Brazil. The decision involves using evaluation, prioritization, and selection under multistage process that fits into strategic management cycle within energy sector Mato Grosso do S...
