PROMETHEE refers to a collection of methods of ranking in the field of multi-criteria decision making. These methods are characterized by conceptual simplicity and practical applicability. However, the nature of phenomena involving decision-making in real world leads us to use fuzzy method of preference ranking. The most common criticism on mathematical ranking procedures is that they tend to d...

For many decision problems with uncertainty, triangular intuitionistic fuzzy number is a useful tool in expressing ill-known quantities. This paper develops a novel decision method based on zero-sum game for multiple attribute decision making problems where the attribute values take the form of triangular intuitionistic fuzzy numbers and the attribute weights are unknown. First, a new value ind...

Due to the increasing competition of globalization, selection of the most appropriate supplier is one of the key factors for asupply chain management’s success. Due to conflicting evaluations and insufficient information about the criteria, Intuitionisticfuzzy sets (IFSs) considered as animpressive tool and utilized to specify the relative importance of the criteria. The aim of this paper is to...

here, we propose a fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (fahp) method to evaluate the alternatives of enterprise resource planning (erp) system. the fuzzy ahp approach allows the users get values more accurately to model the vagueness which changes according subjective ideas in the decision-making environment for erp system selection problem. therefore, fuzzy ahp method is used to obtain firm decis...

  Multiple criteria decision making (MCDM) problem is one of the famous different kinds of decision making problems. In more cases in real situations, determining the exact values for MCDM problems is difficult or impossible. So, the values of alternatives with respect to the criteria or / and the values of criteria weights, are considered as fuzzy values (fuzzy numbers). In such conditions, th...

Risk response planning is one of the main phases in the project risk management and has major impacts on the success of a large-scale project. Since projects are unique, and risks are dynamic through the life of the projects, it is necessary to formulate responses of the important risks. The conventional approaches tend to be less effective in dealing with the impreciseness of risk response p...

abstract this author introduces the concept of stepwise strategy approach (ssa) for dealing with a number of problems arises in the current age of technology. this new idea is combined with the knowledge of grey theory for adding flexibility to decision making process. grey theory is useful for grasping the ambiguity exists in the utilized information and the fuzziness appears in the human judg...

Supplier selection can be considered as a complicated multi criteria decision-making problem.In this paper the problem of supplier selection is studied in the presence of conflicting evaluations and insufficient information about the criteria and different attitudes of decision makers towards the risk. Most of fuzzy approaches used in multi-criteria group decision making (MCGDM) are non-intuiti...

Nowadays, geospatial information systems (GIS) are widely used to solve different spatial problems based on various types of fundamental data: spatial, temporal, attribute and topological relations. Topological relations are the most important part of GIS which distinguish it from the other kinds of information technologies. One of the important mechanisms for representing topological relations...
