Multi Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) provides strong decision making in domains where selection of best alternative is highly complex. This survey paper reviews the main streams of consideration in multi criteria decision making theory and practice in detail. The main purpose is to identify various applications and the approaches, and to suggest approaches which are most robustly and effective...

The main purpose of this paper is to develop a fuzzy multiple criteria decision-making (MCDM) model to select middle managers for the global shipping carrier-based logistics service providers (GSLPs). At first, some concepts and methods used to develop a fuzzy MCDM model are introduced. Secondly, to effectively select middle managers for GSLPs, five steps of fuzzy MCDM algorithms are proposed. ...

Multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) is one of the main problems which aims to determine best alternative by considering more than criterion in selection process. MCDM has manifold tools and methods that can be applied different fields from finance engineering design. This entry provide a survey on concept, its applications, categories, methods. The final section provides information statistic...

Because trade-offs (Pareto optimal, non-dominated or efficient sets) are not properties of criteria or objectives, but of sets of feasible alternatives, the proper task of decision making is to work on designing proper sets of alternatives rather than assuming them to be fixed and given a priori. In fact, decision making takes place only when multiple criteria and trade-offs are present. All th...

This paper discusses the issue of how to solve multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) problems by applying fuzzy logic. Multicriteria decision-making problems often involve a complex decision process in which multiple requirements and fuzzy conditions have to be taken into consideration simultaneously. Fuzzy set theory provides the mathematical technique for the systematic handling of imprecise ...

Many multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) methods have been proposed to handle uncertain decision making problems. Most of them are based on fuzzy numbers and they are not able to cope with risk in decision making. In recent years, some MCDM methods based on prospect theory to handle risk MCDM problems have been developed. In this paper, we propose the Fuzzy TODIM for group decision making, so...

Even as Taiwan’s higher education is growing, graduation from college or university is not a guarantee for employment. Therefore, more and more schools are establishing relationships with enterprises to offer internship opportunities to students. These days senior college students are asked (as a matter of course) whether they are going to choose an internship course or not. What is the key det...

supplier evaluation and selection is important in supply chain management. this is a typical multiple criteria decision making that consists of both quantitative and qualitative factors. ahp is a proper approach to aid this decision making problem, because of its inherent capacity to handle qualitative and quantitative criteria, but when criteria are dependent this method is not so good. also t...

We propose a multiple-criteria decision-making (MCDM) method based on Maximum A Posteriori (MAP) estimation to analyze users’ physiological status either normal or abnormal. The decision-making problem is formulated using MAP estimation and is turned out to be MCDM problem given the assumption that all probability density functions (pdfs) follow exponential forms, especially Gaussian. It indica...
