Supplier selection, one of the most important issues of a company, must be systematically considered from the decision makers’ perspectives. For this reason, the supplier selection process were evaluated by researchers for many years in a large framework comprised of various experimental and analytical techniques and successful applications were done in various sectors. In this paper, supplier ...

According to the urban logistics green degree’s evaluation, a weighted grey correlation analysis method based on the analytic hierarchy process is proposed to determine the weight of each index in the urban logistics green degree evaluation system, and then figure out the optimal relative degree, realizing the green degree of each urban logistics. Finally, an example was given for proving the e...

Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is proposed in this paper to generate local weights of alternatives from pair-wise comparison judgment matrices used in the analytic hierarchy process (AHP). The underlying assumption behind the approach is explained, and some salient features are explored. It is proved that DEA correctly estimates the true weights when applied to a consistent matrix formed using...

The performance assessment of professional baseball starting pitchers is considered a multi-attribute decisionmaking (MADM) problem. This study develops an evaluation model based on the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and grey relational analysis (GRA) to evaluate starting pitcher performance for teams of the Chinese Professional Baseball League. The AHP is used to determine attribute weights,...

This study aims to develop a comprehensive framework to evaluate the service ability of agri-food supply chain based on Chinese food industry. We develop an evaluation index system with five aspects resepectively, transportation, wareshousing & storage, customer response, distribution and information level. With analytic hierarchy process to identify the weight of each index, we apply fuzzy com...

With the development of economy, accumulation of intangible assets has gradually become an approach of maintaining competitive advantage and gaining profits. The conventional method has cost approach, income approach and market approach. Thereinto, the income approach is widely used in the assessment of intangible assets. But we often get combined value of intangible assets if we adopt income a...

Abstract—Due to the economic downturn and the deterioration of the living environment, the development of residential buildings as high energy consuming building is gradually changing from “extensive” to green building in China. So, the evaluation system of green building is continuously improved, but the current evaluation work has the following problems: (1) There are differences in the cost ...

For ranking alternatives based on pairwise comparisons, current analytic hierarchy process (AHP) methods are difficult to use to generate useful information to assist decision makers in specifying their preferences. This study proposes a novel method incorporating fuzzy preferences and range reduction techniques. Modified from the concept of data envelopment analysis (DEA), the proposed approac...

In order to evaluate the accuracy of a numerical control machine tool comprehensively, the accuracy evaluation index system of a numerical control machine tool was established, and the priorities of accuracy indexes were determined by analytic hierarchy process method. Taking a five-axis numerical control machine tool for example, each accuracy index of it was studied by using fuzzy comprehensi...

risk management is one of the most important phases of project management and isthe most recently used by many researchers. in this paper, a fuzzy based method wasproposed which identifies different kinds of risks through the project life cycle.then, the project risk magnitude can be obtained in regards to five factors, namely“severity”, “occurrence”, and “not detection” which form fuzzy fmea a...
