during recent years, determining appropriate strategy in the supply chain has become an important strategic issue. however, the nature of these decisions usually is complex and unstructured. to determine the best supply chain strategy, many quantitative and qualitative attributes such as cost, responsiveness and flexibility can be taken into account. in order to approximate the human subjective...

the non-definite multi-attribute decision making problem is the further expansion of research to the traditional multi-attribute decision making problem. In the actual decision-making, because of policy-making question's complexity, decision-making information acquisition costs and other reasons, the decision information which the policy-maker can obtain are mostly ambiguous, so in the real lif...

in some multi-attribute decision making (madm) problems, various relationships among the decision attributes should be considered. this paper investigates the prioritization relationship of attributes in madm with trapezoidal intuitionistic fuzzy numbers (trifns). trifns are a special intuitionistic fuzzy set on a real number set and have the better capability to model ill-known quantities. fir...

analytic hierarchy process (ahp) has been criticized considerably for possible rank reversal phenomenon caused by the addition or deletion of an alternative. while in many cases this is a perfectly valid phenomenon, there are also many cases where ranks should be preserved. our findings indicate that using the geometric mean reduces the variance in ratings substantially; hence, yielding lower i...

Multiple attribute decision-making theory under uncertainty is an important part of decision making theory. In this paper, by using optimal plan, the optimization weight model is established. Then, based on formulas of possibility degree, a new attribute decision making approach is proposed to study multi-criteria decision making problems under uncertainty in which criteria values are interval ...
