This paper concerns with proposing a fuzzy logic based expert system to breakthrough the problem of alternatives evaluation in Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). AHP as a multi criteria decision aid helped decision makers for analyzing and prioritizing the alternatives in a hierarchical structure. During times AHP encountered some problems. Hence, fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (FAHP) and some...

This study was carried out to evaluate the capability of a combined fuzzy-analytic hierarchy process (AHP) method for soil fertility evaluation of common bean in Shiraz, Iran. A set of membership functions was constructed to represent the soil fertility classes, which were derived from 50 field samples collected through a purposive sampling approach. Seven soil parameters including phosphorus (...

In this paper, an intelligent approach is presented to help companies select most suitable computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) software among a set of existing alternatives for their current and future needs. For this purpose, a fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (AHP) method integrating the fuzzy logic and AHP methods is used to carry out CAM selection process more effectively, easily and applica...

This paper presents a new approach for the treatment of uncertainty which is based on interval rough numbers (IRN). IRN based approach uses only internal knowledge i.e. operational data without relying on assumption models. In other words, instead of various additional/external parameters, IRN uses only the structure of the existing data. Based on the IRN there has been developed a novel IRAHP ...

ABSTRACT Global warming is the today’s important problem for all over the world. Due to the global warming, countries come face to face with lots of problems such as shortage of clean and usable water, erosion, usage of natural resources, and climatic problems. That’s why; in this paper, we proposed a model for selection of the utilization strategies for water resources in Turkey by using analy...

This study deals with the application of Fuzzy AHP method for evaluating Green supply chain management strategies for cement manufacturing company. The strategies are calculated by the model of Fuzzy AHP, the main attributes, sub attributes and measurement indicators are defined based on the cement manufacturing process. The weights are calculated based on the pair-wise comparison of matrices o...

Underground mining method selection is one of the most crucial decisions that should be made by mining engineers. Choosing a suitable underground mining method to carry out extraction from a mineral deposit is very important in terms of the economics, safety and the productivity of mining operations. The aim of this study is developing a fuzzy model to selection the optimum mining method by usi...
