Abstract— In this paper, a new extended method of multi criteria decision making based on fuzzy-Topsis theory is introduced. fuzzy mcdm algorithm for determining the best choice among all possible choices when the data are fuzzy is also presented. Using a new index leads to procedure for choosing fuzzy ideal and negative ideal solutions directly from the fuzzy data observed alternatives.in this...

Because of the pressure of globalization in the last two decades, professional services has become an important strategic decision so that supplier selection is a prime concern. In the semiconductor industry, the prior researches worked on analyzing and improving the process, and evaluating the equipment manufacturers. Therefore, being the semiconductor industry applying a wide huge of advanced...

The investment of mutual funds which investors are often required evaluating the investment strategies according to their own subjective preferences in terms of numerical values from various criteria. This situation can be regarded as a fuzzy multiple criteria decision-making (MCDM) problem. The purpose of this study attempts to propose an alternative approach, fuzzy multiple criteria decision ...

Abstract We define $$2n+1$$ 2 n + 1 and 2 n fuzzy numbers, which generalize triangular trapezoidal respectively. Then, we extend the preference relation relative to rank numbers. When data is representable in terms of number, FMCDM (fuz...

In recent years, taking advantage of LARG supply chain (SC) paradigm, a combination of four paradigms (clean, agile, resilience and green) has been increasingly employed. For capturing the advantages of LARG in SC, companies needed to recognize proper practices and implement them with appropriate planning and infrastructure. However, one of its deficiencies is lack of proper method in the prior...

This paper presents a fuzzy multiple criteria decision making (FMCDM) problem with the Technique for Order Performance by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) based on the new concept of positive and negative ideal solution. Whereas decision making is a process which accuracy of data play major role to select the best alternative, considering decision making problems in fuzzy environments moti...

the county of khorram-abad enjoys a high potential for ecotourism because of its mountains, forests, natural mineral springs, natural waterfalls and diversity in folks and cultures. but, un-planned and uncontrolled ecotourism can have negative effects on environment, economy, culture and even the security of eco-tourists. the main purpose of this study is to present a fuzzy multi-criteria decis...

Dimensional analysis, for multi-criteria decision making, is a mathematical method that includes diverse heterogeneous criteria into a single dimensionless index. Dimensional Analysis, in its current definition, presents the drawback to manipulate fuzzy information commonly presented in a multi-criteria decision making problem. To overcome such limitation, we propose two dimensional analysis ba...

abstract. today, there is no specific method or criterion for selecting contractors in the researches’ field. usually this selection is regarded as a matter of taste and as a result, there is no coordinated approach in the mentioned domain. sometimes, after signing the contract, the inappropriate selection became clear. the managers are in direct need of a pattern for selecting the contractors....

environmental factors are one of the most sensitive issues that should be considered in many decisions. site selection is one of the most widely used spatial decision making problems and is influenced by many environmental factors. the purpose of site selection is to find a set of appropriate spatial alternatives for a particular application. site selection is a multi-criteria decision making p...
