This paper formulates supplier evaluation and selection as a multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) problem with subjective and fuzzy preferences of decision makers over evaluation criteria. As an outcome, this paper provides decision makers with a decision support system that presents the Pareto fronts, a set of best possible high-quality suppliers and optimized business operation levels from s...

We propose a handoff control scheme to accommodate mobile multimedia traffic based on the resource reservation procedure using the direction estimation. This proposed scheme uses a novel mobile tracking method based on Fuzzy Multi-Criteria Decision Making (FMCDM), in which uncertain parameters such as Pilot Signal Strength (PSS), the distances between the Mobile Terminal (MT) and the Base Stati...

Abstract One of the most important challenges for decision-makers and investors is location selection, which may be assessed using multicriteria decision-making (MCDM) methodologies. Problems with picking a include deciding between alternative locations, analyzing alternatives, identifying best hospital. Because they analyze options multiple perspectives in terms numerous competing criteria, MC...

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...

In this study, an outsourcer evaluation and management system is developed for a manufacturing company by use of Fuzzy goal programming (FGP). A first phase of the methodology evaluation criteria for outsources and the objectives of the company are determined. Considering the fuzziness in the decision data, linguistic variables that can be expressed in generalized fuzzy number are used. The pro...

The problem of decision making under imprecise environments are widely spread in real life decision situations. We present a method of object recognition from imprecise multi observer data, which extends the work of Roy and Maji [J. Compu. Appl. Math. 203(2007) 412-418] to generalized intuitionistic fuzzy soft set theory. The method involves the construction of a comparison table from a general...

This paper proposes a new approach based on Bonferroni mean operator and possibility degree to solve fuzzy multi-attribute decision making (FMADM) problems in which the attribute value takes the form of interval type-2 fuzzy numbers. We introduce the concepts of interval possibility mean value and present a new method for calculating the possibility degree of two interval trapezoidal type-2 fuz...

This paper presents a hybrid fuzzy multi criteria decision making model for z-numbers using intuitive vectorial centroid. There are two novelty discuss here: 1) development of intuitive vectorial centroid defuzzification and; 2) development of hybrid fuzzy multi criteria decision making model based on consistent fuzzy preference relations and fuzzy technique for order performance by similarity ...
