The objective of the present paper is to develop a systematic and sustainability-focused evaluation framework determine best locations for wind plants in Vietnam. For decision-making that influences plant site selection, while some criteria can be evaluated based on numerical database, numerous qualitative must under experts’ judgments form linguistic terms represented through fuzzy numbers. In...

A lot of computer-based methods have been developed to assess the evacuation capability (EC) of high-rise buildings. Because softwares are time-consuming and not proper for on scene applications, we adopted two methods, fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (FAHP) and technique for order preference by similarity to an ideal solution (TOPSIS), for EC assessment of a high-rise building in Jinan. The E...

iran has high potential and unique stone reserves in terms of variety of color, texture, quality, and economic value; nevertheless, in spite of growing mine production during the past decade, in many instances this potential has been overlooked. therefore it is necessary to investigate strategic factors of these mines. the purpose of this study is to evaluate and determine the best strategies f...

The assessment of IT department is critical to understand how the department contributes to organizational and strategic goals. Because IT department performs many tasks that cannot simply be measured by monetary units, evaluati...

The aim of this study is to develop a system to recognize most important risk factors which can help to predict outcomes such as mortality or morbidity before performing the specific surgery by the integration a standard assessment checklist based on theoretical considerations and methodological aspects to evaluate the study quality of each publication, fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (FAHP) t...

This systematic review examines the marine risk assessment (MRA) by identifying most viable method in assessing risks using latest technology. paper centers on Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (FAHP) where techniques and advantages of FAHP facilitating important decisions were analyzed. A literature was conducted to highlight significance potentials providing a comprehensive analysis which serv...

in order to survive in today's competitive world, organizations are looking to increase their efficiency and effectiveness. therefore, they should focus on inputs that are more important than the rest of the inputs in their success. this paper aimed at ranking 7ms (management, man power, marketing, material, machinery, methods and money) and their sub-criteria of production in iran. by imp...

The main objective of the present study was to prioritize the allocation of water resources of Chahnimeh reservoirs from economic, social, and environmental perspectives in 2015-2016 season using fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (FAHP) and fuzzy technique for order preference by similarity of an ideal solution (FTOPSIS) as the branches of fuzzy multiple-criteria decision-making (MCDM) models. D...

in today’s business competitive world, decision makers of companies try to employ standard, efficient, theoretical and operational proven methods as a competitive advantage for making their critical strategic business decisions in order to survive in their industry. in this paper, a hybrid model based on fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (fahp) and artificial neural network (ann) is presented. t...

In this paper, we apply fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (FAHP) method in the decision process of Cognitive Radio Networks (CRN) spectrum handoff. Based on the pre-determined target spectrum list model, considering the multiple indicators which influence the handoff performance, we designed a spectrum handoff method based on spectrum reservation strategy. Simulation results show that the algori...
