This paper proposes an integrated approach to determine attribute weights in the multiple attribute decision making problems. The approach makes use of the subjective information provided by a decision maker and the objective information to form a two-objective programming model. Thus the resultant attribute weights and rankings of alternatives reflect both the subjective considerations of a de...

The article presents an approach to the development of multi-attribute decision making model that is based on DEX, an expert system shell for multi-attribute decision support. We demonstrate the applicability and flexibility of the approach presenting application of DEX in e-learning: assessment and evaluation of Learning Management Systems (LMS) where several conflicting objectives, like envir...

the recent years have witnessed an increasing attention to the methods of multiple attribute decision making in solving the problems of the real world due to their shorter time of calculation and easy application. one of these methods is the ‘permutation method’ which has a strong logic in connection with ranking issues, but when the number of alternatives increases, solving problems through th...

this paper proposes a method for ranking decision making units (dmus) using some of the multiple criteria decision making / multiple attribute decision making          (mcdm /madm) techniques, namely, interval analytic hierarchy process (iahp)          and the technique for order preference by similarity to an ideal solution (topsis).          since the efficiency score of unity is assigned to ...

supply chain management is one of modern approach in the field of operation and production management. nowadays success and survival of manufacturing organizations depend on effectiveness and productivity of supply chains. this research tries to investigate contributing factor to enhance supply chain productivity. then by using fuzzy promethe-a multiple attribute decision making (madm) - tous a...

Interavl type-2 fuzzy numbers (IT2FNs) are used in many real problems such as multiple attribute decision making (MADM) problems, to model the opinions/judgments of experts. This paper, using centroid points and uncertainty degrees of IT2FNs, presents a new method to rank them. Also, we present new methods based on Choquet integral and various types of Power average to aggregate a set of IT2FNs...
