This paper investigates the risk exposure arising from the supplier evaluation criteria of cost, quality, delivery, and flexibility. An integrated method of Fuzzy Decision Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (FDEMATEL) and Fuzzy Analytical Network Process (FANP), which is able to address interaction and feedback effects between the criteria and subjectivity in the decision rating, is used to...

The aim of this paper was to evaluate the risk level for both intra-organizational cultures and for different industries in implementing an enterprise resource planning (ERP) system. This study adopts the Fuzzy Analytic Network Process (FANP) method to assess ERP implementation risks, which were categorized into four dimensions: management and execution, software system, users, and technology p...

This paper proposes fuzzy multi-criteria decision-making approach integrated with fuzzy real option value theory. The applicability of the proposed method was shown on a real-world supermarket location selection problem. Based on the interviews with the experts, the evaluation criteria for retail location selection were identi ̄ed. Then the network for fuzzy analytic network process (ANP) method...

haraz-ghareh su is one of the seven sub-basins of the caspian basin, located on the southern shores of the caspian sea, and as such, is in danger of water crisis due to absence of proper systematic policy and strategy. in this study, the pressure factors on the haraz-ghareh su water resources were identified using dpsir model. then, the pressure parameters on the freshwater resources in the cas...

In order to compete in the global environment, a manufacturing company has to keep developing new technologies. Selection of a right technology is a critical stage in a successful technology transfer process. However, technology selection is a complex multi-dimensional problem including both qualitative and quantitative factors, such as human resources, operational and financial dimensions, whi...

The decision-making on approval of environmental impact assessment (EIA) is an intrinsically complex multi-dimensional process because it does not only consider the scientific facts but also reflect subjective values. The use of decision-support methods to balance facts and values can be beneficial for decision makers. This paper attempts to propose an integrated decision-support framework that...

increasing global notices in environmental protection, green supply chain management (gscm) has received much attention by researchers and managers more than the past. commonly, firms have considered cost criteria to select their suppliers. despite the fact that there are various papers considering the formal criteria in supplier selection, there is a few limited numbers considering the environ...

Many firms implemented various initiatives such as outsourced manufacturing which could make a supply chain (SC) more vulnerable to various types of disruptions. So managing risk has become a critical component of SC management. Different types of SC vulnerability management methodologies have been proposed for managing SC risk, most offer only point-based solutions that deal with a limited set...

Data mining has a tremendous contribution for researchers to extract the hidden knowledge and information which have been inherited in the raw data. This study has proposed a brand new and practical fuzzy analytic network process (FANP) based weighted RFM (Recency, Frequency, Monetary value) model for application in K-means algorithm for auto insurance customers’ segmentation. The developed met...
