This paper conducts a comparison analysis of some of the most common defuzzification techniques which helps rank fuzzy weights calculated from fuzzy comparison matrices through Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process. Ranking of weights calculated through FAHP algorithms is of critical importance as it directly effects the decision making process. More so ranking of fuzzy numbers is also important in ...

Multidimensional scaling (MDS) analysis is a dimension-reduction technique that is used to estimate the coordinates of a set of objects. However, not every criterion used in multidimensional scaling is equally and precisely weighted in the real world. To address this issue, we use fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (FAHP) to determine the weighting of subjective/perceptive judgments for each crit...

Original scientific paper Recently companies have begun to use their storage effectively to attain leadership in the market environment, utilizing Barcode and RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) systems for warehouse management. In this study AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) and FAHP (Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process) are used to choose between Barcode and RFID systems for the company warehou...

Multicriteria decision making (MCDM) has found many applications in both public and private sector organizations. MCDM is both an approach and a set of techniques, with the goal of providing an overall ordering of options, from the most preferred to the least preferred option. The set of MCDM techniques are implemented in selecting the vendors and 3PL service providers. Supplier selection is a ...

In recent years, the rising of customers’ awareness and spending power has led to the growth of the customized products. The traditional enterprise-led products are unable to meet the customers’ needs. Nowadays, the enterprises have to put the emphasis on the customers’ preferences and products must be made to satisfy the customers’ various needs. In this research, we develop a set of Fuzzy Int...

The river ranking problem is a strategic issue and has significant impact on the efficiency of a river system. On the other hand, the river ranking among many alternatives presents a multi criteria decision making (MCDM) problem. Hence fuzzy set theory can be applied. Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy process (FAHP) technique is used to rank alternatives to find the efficient use of the river system. Fu...

This study focuses on building a framework which calculates the weights of FAHP (Fuzzy Analytical Hierarchical Process) method , then integrates the analysis tools such as FQFD (Fuzzy Quality Function Development) and FFMEA (Fuzzy Failure Mode and Effects Analysis) into the framework to construct a two-phase product specifications evaluation process. Therefore, this study builds a framework and...

This paper describes an application model that couples Analytical Hierarchy Process(AHP) and fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method , which named Fuzzy-AHP(FAHP). AHP has its own superiority in computing index weight and comparing index in the same row than at classifying level. While fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method is good at classifying level. Taking into account their respective advanta...
