We present the development o f five fuzzy multiattribute decision-making methods. These methods are based on the analytic hierarchy process (original and ideal mode), the weighted-sum model, the weighted-product model, and the TOPSlS method. Moreover, these methods are examined in terms of two evaluative criteria. Computational results on test problems suggest that although all the methods are ...

The management performance of distribution center is based on multi-dimensional and multi-hierarchy factors which include many uncertainties. The goal of this paper is to combine the methods of interval-valued fuzzy evaluation (IVFE) and analytic hierarchy progress (AHP) for evaluating the management performance of distribution center. First, all the single-factors are used to fix the evaluatio...

background: in today's world, survival of any organization depends on its competitiveness and suitable decisions against environmental changes.  one of the effective methods in organizations is to use performance evaluation systems to determine weak points to be improved and strengths to be reinforced. performance evaluation and management not only help organizations to increase competitiveness...

The significance of technology is all the time growing with the global and dynamic changes such as trade liberalization, networking, knowledge and service economies, environmental control and many emerging technologies. Therefore, from the 1970’s to the 1990’s, the competitive strategies in manufacturing have changed dramatically from focused to multifocused priorities. /17/, /5/, /12/, /13/ an...

Sustainability has gained tremendous importance and has been an important issue both for policy makers and practitioners. Realizing that the resources on the earth are limited, renewable energy alternatives have flourished and started to replace the conventional energy alternatives. Energy planning using different energy alternatives, for the long term becomes a vital decision. In this study, f...

Group decision making is an important part of multiple criteria decision making and the analytic hierarchy process (AHP). The aim of this paper was to compare group AHP methods. Seven simple group AHP aggregation techniques that could be attractive for applications selected from the vast array of group AHP models proposed in the literature were selected for evaluation. We developed three new me...

With the improvement of the people’s leisure means, the development of tourism is becoming increasingly quick. Tourism security is the most crucial factor in the development of tourism industry. Experts have been looking for travel safety evaluation methods, however the results are unsatisfactory. Combining computer software and data analysis software (AHP analysis) together, and thereby evalua...

The multiple attribute decision making (MADM) is widely used to rank alternatives with respect to multiple attributes. A new method for the multiple attribute group decision making (MAGDM) is proposed in this paper. In our method, linguistic terms are used during the whole evaluation process, the constrained fuzzy analytic hierarchy process is adopted to measure the relative importance of attri...

Generally, financial mergers can bring some advantages in terms of improving financial structures, and promoting the operating performance of financial organizations. Meanwhile, official reports demonstrate that the policy of bank mergers has fallen short of expectations, and the choice of managerial strategies remains a major issue for bank administrators. This investigation establishes an ana...

An approach for the analysis and management of multiple criteria critical infrastructure problems is put forth. Nuclear waste management involves complex tradeoffs under uncertainty. Among all waste either generated by nature or human activities, radioactive nuclear waste is the most toxic to human health and difficult to manage: it is known that some nuclear waste material will be radioactive ...
