The beginning of the 21st century is marked by fourth industrial revolution, which could be a great opportunity for sustainable technological transformation. key role these technologies in development more future implies need evaluation and monitoring both supply risks as well environmental social impacts number raw materials chain. These that are important to economy might under risk referred ...

Sustainability science (SS) has emerged to foster inter- and transdisciplinary research practices the creation of new, robust, actionable knowledge for navigating sustainability transitions. However, whether paradigm emerging SS permeated relevant body integrate with subfield assessment (SA) is an open question. Aiming investigate enhance interdisciplinary communication in theory practice, we c...

The purpose of this study is to find the key factors influencing blog design, and explore the causal relationships between the criteria for each factor. Since design is a multiple criteria decision-making (MCDM) problem, this study adopts a model which is a hybrid of factor analysis and the Decision Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory method (DEMATEL). The DEMATEL method is used to simplify ...

This research aims to illustrate and express the impact of analytical techniques such as TOPSIS- FTOPSIS-based Taguchi models on obtaining optimum design fiber-reinforced concrete (FRC).Three levels silica fume content, fly ash water-to-cementitious (W/C) ratio, superplasticizer content were examined in present work. However, steel fiber (1%) maximum aggregate size 14 mm kept constant for all m...

In this paper is researched how to achieve an effective fleet maintenance planning in transport companies, which contributes in increasing the fleet energy efficiency and in achieving the companies’ goal. Within the fleet maintenance planning, managers have to make the right decisions on the selection of vehicle service centers in the region where the maintenance work will be realized. The ment...

Purpose – The aim of this paper is to propose a novel evaluation framework to explore the “root causes” that hinder the acceptance of using internal cloud services in a university. Design/methodology/approach – The proposed evaluation framework incorporates the duo-theme DEMATEL (decision making trial and evaluation laboratory) with TAM (technology acceptance model). The operational procedures ...

This paper reviews actual sustainability assessments in the construction sector to define whether and how a Life Cycle Sustainability Assessment (LCSA) is applied interpreted this today. industry has large shares global energy (33%), raw material consumption (40%) solid waste generation (40%). Simultaneously, it drives economy provides jobs. The LCSA method identify environmental, social econom...

Most decision making methods used to evaluate a system or demonstrate the weak and strength points are based on fuzzy sets and evaluate the criteria with words that are modeled with fuzzy sets. The ambiguity and vagueness of the words and different perceptions of a word are not considered in these methods. For this reason, the decision making methods that consider the perceptions of decision ma...

Industrial location problems belong to the scope of multicriteria decision making (MCDM) given the high number of attributes to be considered in its planning and analysis. This work deals with a problem with four potential sites and five influential subjective criteria. A panel of experts related to the problem makes a fuzzy valuation of these attributes allowing to capture the uncertainty inhe...

Abstract Offsite construction (OSC) is increasingly recognised as a viable alternative for conventional in-situ construction. Modular (MC) one of the most advanced and efficient OSC methods in industry. Even with distinctive benefits offered by MC, it imperative to investigate sustainability performance MC understand trade-offs traditional Life cycle assessment (LCSA) tool that integrates three...
