Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) has been widely applied in measuring the efficiency of Decision-Making Units (DMUs). The conventional DEA three major drawbacks: a) it does not consider Decision Makers’ (DMs) preferences evaluation process, b) DMUs this model are flexible weighting criteria to reach maximum possible efficiency, and c) ignores uncertainty data. However, many real-world applicatio...

Despite the fundamental role of social aspect in implementation sustainability bio-based industries, most assessments research have addressed environmental and economic dimensions. However, dimension has been neglected it can cause an irreparable outcome biotechnology industries. Following this issue, study propounds a modified systemic approach for impact assessment treatment technologies conv...

Sludge-to-energy technologies can achieve sewage sludge treatment and energy recovery simultaneously. Having a comprehensive assessment for the related contribute to decision-making process sustainable development of management industry. In this paper, life cycle composite footprint index was proposed, including recovery, carbon emissions, water consumptions, nitrogen sulfur flows. Related meth...

using greedy clustering method to solve capacitated location-routing problem with fuzzy demands abstract in this paper, the capacitated location routing problem with fuzzy demands (clrp_fd) is considered. in clrp_fd, facility location problem (flp) and vehicle routing problem (vrp) are observed simultaneously. indeed the vehicles and the depots have a predefined capacity to serve the customerst...

Increasing the production rate and minimizing the related costs, while optimizing the safety measures, are nowadays’ most important tasks in the mining industry. To these ends, mechanization of mines could be applied, which can result in significant cost reductions and higher levels of profitability for underground mines. The potential of a coal mine mechanization depends on some important fact...

Abstract Mobile technology has revolutionised various business processes. Banking is one of them. Traditional banking operations are gradually changing with the introduction efficient mobile technologies. (m-banking) recently emerged as an innovative channel that provides continuous real-time customer service. It expected market for m-banking will expand in near future. There currently types ap...

This paper presents a new fuzzy modeling method that can be classified as a grid partitioning method, in which the domain space is partitioned by the fuzzy equalization method one dimension at a time, followed by the computation of rule weights according to the max-min composition. Five datasets were selected for testing. Among them, three datasets are high-dimensional; for these datasets only ...

In many real life optimization problems, the parameters are often imprecise and are difficult to be represented in discrete quantity. One of the approaches to model such situation is considering these imprecise parameters as intuitionistic fuzzy numbers and then approximating these by its expected interval value. Further in process of solution, membership function for each objective function ar...

Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is a widely used mathematical programming approach for evaluating the relative efficiency of decision making units (DMUs) in organizations. Crisp input and output data are fundamentally indispensable in traditional DEA evaluation process. However, the input and output data in real-world problems are often imprecise or ambiguous. In this study, we present a four-p...
