Warehouse location selection is a multi-criteria decision problem including both quantitative and qualitative criteria and has a strategic importance for many companies. The conventional approaches to warehouse location selection problem tend to be less effective in dealing with the imprecise or vague nature of the linguistic assessment. Under many situations, the values of the qualitative crit...

The theory of intuitionistic fuzzy set (IFS) is well suitable to deal with vagueness and hesitancy. In this study, we propose a new fuzzy TOPSIS decision making model using entropy weight for dealing with multiple criteria decision making (MCDM) problems under intuitionistic fuzzy environment. This model allows measuring the degree of satisfiability and the degree of non-satisfiability, respect...

multi attribute decision making methods are considered as one of the most useful methods for solving ranking problems. in some decision making problems, while the alternatives for corresponding criteria are compared in a pairwise comparison manner, if the criteria are inherently fuzzy, debates will arise in ranking alternatives due to the closeness of the values of the criteria. in this researc...

Interval number is a useful tool to handle the uncertainty brought by human factors in multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) process. When faced with MCDM problems in real-world, the experts may be uncomfortable giving precise upper and lower bounds of the interval ratios on multi-criteria. Based on the reciprocal judgment matrices given by the experts through pairwise comparisons, the satisfac...

Joint Admission Control (JAC) handles the admis-sion of all new or handoff service requests in the mod-ern heterogeneous networks and allocates the required resources and guarantees the QoS constraints for the service. JAC is a multicriteria problem in nature, and the usage of MCDM system is mandatory to decrease the influence of the dissimilar, imprecise, and contra-dictory measurements for th...

Due to green legislations, industries track the used products through reverse logistics contractors. A reverse logistics programme offers significant cost savings in procurement, transportation, disposal and inventory carrying. Since reverse logistics operations and the supply chains they support are considerably more complex than traditional manufacturing supply chains, it can be offered to th...

Considering the contemporary business settings, managers’ role is more than essential to the viability and further development of an organization. Managers should possess such skills in order to effectively cope with the competition. Multiple attributes decision making (MADM) is an approach employed to solve problems involving selection from among a finite number of alternatives. The aim of thi...
