The aim of study is to integrate decision making trial and evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL) into the theoretical extension of technology acceptance model (TAM2) to evaluate users’ behavioral intention to use while introducing a new etching plasma technology. The study used a case of the Taiwan plasma etching manufacturing industry as the example, adopted DEMATEL to calculate the causal relations...

Decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL) can visualize the structure of complex causal relationships, so it is widely used in decision making. One important steps DEMATEL normalization, has received much attention recent years. Maximum entropy (MaxEnt) a universal principle, an effective tool for determining amount information existed evidence. In this paper, authors propose Ma...

Green supply chain management means integrating environmental awareness into management, including product design, raw material acquisition and selection, the manufacturing process, distribution of final products to customers, end-of-life products. However, there are driving unfavorable factors for enterprises choose green suppliers. Therefore, this study proposed a new IPA-DEMATEL model by imp...

Decision-making methods are widely used in renewable energy source (RES) investment. In practical applications, various conditions need to be considered during the decision-making process, such as uncertainty and reliability of information, dependence among criteria, different risk preferences decision makers. However, there is currently a lack effective consideration all these conditions. this...

Decision-Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL) methodology has been proposed to solve complex and intertwined problem groups in many situations such as developing the capabilities, complex group decision making, security problems, marketing approaches, global managers, and control systems. DEMATEL is able to realize casual relationships by dividing important issues into cause and eff...

Most decision making methods used to evaluate a system or demonstrate the weak and strength points are based on fuzzy sets and evaluate the criteria with words that are modeled with fuzzy sets. The ambiguity and vagueness of the words and different perceptions of a word are not considered in these methods. For this reason, the decision making methods that consider the perceptions of decision ma...

Decision Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL) method is a powerful tool for understanding visualizing the causal relationships among factors in complex decision-making problems. The uses diagrams matrixes to map out interdependencies factors, allowing decision-makers identify key drivers potential solutions problem. DEMATEL has wide range of application areas, including supply chain...

The decision data of human judgments with preferences are often vague in many real life cases. Human judgments with preferences are often unclear and hard to estimate by exact numerical values. So that the traditional ways of using crisp values are inadequate. The relationship among criteria and choosing and rating alternatives based on criterion are often expressed in terms of linguistic terms...
