In recent years, the mobile devices are equipped with several wireless interfaces in heterogeneous environments which integrate a multitude of radio access technologies (RAT’s). The evolution of these technologies will allow the users to benefit simultaneously from these RAT’s. However, the most important issue is how to choose the most suitable access network for mobile’s user which can be use...

This paper compares two multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) approaches based on linguistic label assessment. The first approach consists of a modified fuzzy TOPSIS methodology introduced by Kaya and Kahraman in 2011. The second approach, introduced by Agell et al. in 2012, is based on qualitative reasoning techniques for ranking multi-attribute alternatives in group decision-making with lingu...

Thisarticleis to determine thecompany'sstrategyanditsstrategicpositioning. At first, the most influential internal and external elements were detected with the help of the techniques of strategy formulation. Then using of Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats (SWOT) matrix, we formulated the primary organizational strategies. Using of fuzzy TOPSIS, priorityscore of strategies isspeci...

In view of the adverse effect of declining cluster, a method of analyzing and assessing declining risks of mature cluster is studied. Through analyzing causes of declining risks, an evaluation index system for declining risks is built. According to the index system, the characteristic patterns of different risk levels are described. Owing to the complexity and uncertainty of cluster system, a T...

The implementation of lean manufacturing concepts has had a significant impact on various industries. Many companies around the world have attempted to implement lean manufacturing, but the lack of an obvious understanding of lean measurement and its performance has caused its implementation to fail. This paper presents an innovative approach by using fuzzy TOPSIS to measure the production lean...

In this paper the design and development of a hierarchical fuzzy logic Systems are investigated. A new method using genetic algorithms for design of hierarchical fuzzy logic systems are proposed. This research study is unique in the way proposed method is applied to design and development of hierarchical fuzzy logic systems. The proposed method is then applied to financial modelling and predict...

Abstract The increasing importance of sustainability has put pressure on organisations to assess their supply chain performance, which requires a holistic set key performance indicators (KPIs) related strategic, tactical and operational decision making firms. This paper presents comprehensive KPIs for sustainable management using mixed method approach including analysing data from the literatur...

Many industries struggle with different project failures including Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) implementations projects which has high failure rates too. Failure Mode Effect Analysis (FMEA) is an extensively utilized to analyze modes in risk assessment various industry ERP implementation projects. Nevertheless, the traditional FMEA system, ignoring Interdependencies among as well relativ...
