This paper presents a model based decision support system (DSS) for evaluating performance. Performance evaluation in business is difficult. Multicriteria methods are used for evaluation of performance of public and private organizations. The proposed system is based on financial ratios and some methods such as Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Id...

E-alliance is the union of e-commerce and its success and efficiency is related to comprehensive quality of e-commerce. Thus, ranking e-commerce websites in e-alliance is of importance, which is a multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) problem. This paper proposes an evaluation model based on analytic hierarchy process (AHP), fuzzy sets and technique for order performance by similarity to ideal ...

nurses have long been relied as the major labor force in hospitals. featured with complicated and highly labor-intensive job requirement, multiple pressures from different sources was inevitable. success in identifying stresses and accordingly coping with such stresses is important for job performance of nurses, and service quality of a hospital. purpose of this research is to identify the dete...

Decision making processes, based on various multi-criteria models are considered. The main differences between AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process), ANP (Analytic Network Process) and CHP (Cognitive Hierarchy process) methods will be discussed. The possible use of referred methods for decision support in autonomous systems will be proposed and strong and week points of the methods will be experimen...

one of important problems in supply chains management is supplier selection. in a company, there are massive data from various departments so that extracting knowledge from the company’s data is too complicated. many researchers have solved this problem by some methods like fuzzy set theory, goal programming, multi objective programming, the liner programming, mixed integer programming, analyti...

the aim of this study is to evaluate the obstacles due to a dpsir model combined with fuzzy analytic hierarchy process technique. hence, to prioritize the responses regarding the driving forces, pressures, states and impacts, the hierarchy of the model is established. evaluations and prioritization of model results of urban transport situation in tehran have provided a number of necessary issue...

This study aims to select optimal maintenance strategy for components of an electric motor of the National Iranian Oil Refining and Distribution Company. In this regard, a method based on revised multi choice goal programming and analytic hierarchy process (AHP) is presented. Since improving the equipment reliability is an important issue, reliability centered maintenance (RCM) strategies are i...
