The Best-Worst Method (BWM) is a Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) method that has recently been introduced. original BWM assumes decision-makers are always certain about their judgments even if, in reality, often express uncertain preferences. To deal with uncertainty, we introduce belief structure the BWM, concept involving preference degree adopted via Dempster-Shafer theory. A new appro...

Electricity market reform is in progress in China, and the operational performance of power grid enterprises are vital for its healthy and sustainable development in the current electricity market environment. In this paper, a hybrid multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) framework for operational performance evaluation of a power grid enterprise is proposed from the perspective of sustainabilit...

Warehouse performance has a major role in improving the effectiveness of supply chain considering especially location where warehousing activities occur. selection criteria have been widely used by decision-makers and researchers to achieve operational efficiency reduce costs chain. On other hand, warehouse is usually evaluated decided on individual basis. This research determines weights obtai...

This paper proposes a novel approach to cope with the multi-criteria group decision-making problems. We give the pairwise comparisons based on the best-worst-method (BWM), which can decrease comparison times. Additionally, our comparison results are determined with the positive and negative aspects. In order to deal with the decision matrices effectively, we consider the elimination and choice ...

Municipal solid waste (MSW) management is one of the most important issues in urban environments, especially developing countries. In this work, a comprehensive assessment framework for MSW proposed to evaluate and screen optimal scenario. The best-worst method (BWM) utilized determine weight each criterion disposal However, original BWM model difficult be solved globally. A linear presented so...

Selection of cotton fibers in terms their quality value has created a domain emerging interest among the researchers. In this study, newly developed Best-Worst Method (BWM) was integrated with Revised Analytic Hierarchy Process (RAHP) to rank fiber lots on basis six apposite properties namely bundle tenacity, elongation, micronaire, upper half mean length, uniformity index, and short index. Ran...
