Success of an e-business company is strongly associated with the relative quality of its website compared to that of its competitors. The purpose of this study is to propose a multi-attribute e-business website quality evaluation methodology based on a modified fuzzy TOPSIS approach. In the proposed methodology, weights of the evaluation criteria are generated by a fuzzy AHP procedure. In perfo...

Recently, Calantone, Di Benedetto, and Schmidt [2] presented an Analytic Hierarchy Process (Am) modeling approach to new product screening. The illustration of this approach is an example of a decision support model that seeks to aid managers in selecting new product ideas to pursue. In this paper we improve upon this initial AHP model using a "fuzzy" mathematical application. This use of fuzzy...

driver’s requirement in route guidance system Caixia Li , Sreenatha Gopalarao Anavatti, Tapabrata Ray University of New South Wales @ Australian Defence Force Academy [email protected] Abstract-Route choice mechanism is the key technology of the route guidance system. This paper focuses on the integration of the analytical hierarchy process (AHP) and fuzzy logic theory to realize th...

To overcome the difficulty in understanding quantitative evaluation on actually safety assessment, This research proposed a qualitative comprehensive assessment method of fuzzy state based on fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Fuzzy Transform. First of all, the fuzzy comment of multiple assessments by experts should focus on the quantitative evaluation of corresponding triangular fuzzy ...

The non-objective and non-scientific evaluation of sports tourism resources has become a bottleneck which restricts the development of sports tourism industry. In order to make the evaluation of sports tourism resources have more comprehensiveness, accuracy and scientificalness and to promote the healthy and sustainable development of sports tourism industry, this paper, based on the AHP-FUZZY ...

In this paper, a new approach that applies fuzzy Delphi method in Simple Additive Weighting (SAW) is proposed to be used in the Maintenance Strategy Selection Problem (MSSP). This approach is based on representation of the importance of goals and each strategy capabilities to satisfy each maintenance goals with fuzzy numbers. Fuzzy Delphi method is applied for the assessment of the importance o...

Fuzzy AHP is often used in multi-criteria decision analysis. In this paper we consider an example given by Deng [I] and in particular the method used to approximate the fuzzy principle eigenvector of the fuzzy pairwise comparison matrices. We show Nigel Steele Computational Intelligence Group, School of Mathematical and Information Sciences, Coventry University, Priory Street, Coventry. CV1 5FB...

At present, more and more attentions have been paid to dam risk management around the world. In order to deal with the fuzziness and randomness of dam failure, the cloud model was introduced into the risk assessment of dam failure, which was combined with Analytic Hierarchy Process(AHP) method and fuzzy theory, and then the multilevel fuzzy comprehensive assessment of dam failure risk was reali...

AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) has been widely used in decision making. Inner dependence method AHP is one technique even in case of criteria have dependency. However using original AHP or Inner dependence method, the results often lose reliability because the comparison matrix does not always have sufficient consistency. In these cases, fuzzy representation for weighting criteria and alterna...

The decision to recruit manpower in an organization requires clear identification of the criteria (attributes) that distinguish successful from unsuccessful performance. The choice of appropriate attributes or criteria in different levels of hierarchy in an organization is a multi-criteria decision problem and therefore multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) techniques can be used for prioritiza...
