The inconsistency of judgments in the fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is a crucial issue. To make the appropriate decision, the inconsistency in decision maker's (DM) judgments needs to be eliminated or reduced. This paper proposes two mathematical models to deal with inconsistency in Fuzzy AHP. In the first model, the DM's judgments are modified where the preference order of the DM's ju...

Wafer slicing is a complex manufacturing process, complicating efforts to monitor process stability and quality control effectively. This study discusses and develops a manufacturing quality yield model for forecasting 12 in. silicon wafer slicing based on the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) framework. Decision Makers can select evaluation outcomes to identify the most precise machine. Additio...

The entropies of structure, information and the effectiveness entropy between knowledge and organization structure are main entropy sources of supply chain network. Entropy model of fractal supply chain network organization structure is established. Moreover, the basic principle and process of fuzzy AHP are introduced. Fractal knowledge management network outside independently organization stru...

The performance assessment of professional baseball starting pitchers is considered a multi-attribute decisionmaking (MADM) problem. This study develops an evaluation model based on the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and grey relational analysis (GRA) to evaluate starting pitcher performance for teams of the Chinese Professional Baseball League. The AHP is used to determine attribute weights,...

CA1 pyramidal neurons from animals that have acquired hippocampal tasks show increased neuronal excitability, as evidenced by a reduction in the postburst afterhyperpolarization (AHP). Studies of AHP plasticity require stable long-term recordings, which are affected by the intracellular solutions potassium methylsulphate (KMeth) or potassium gluconate (KGluc). Here we show immediate and gradual...

This study investigates the use of Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) in estimating the determinants of patients’ satisfaction towards service delivery in six public teaching hospitals located in southwest Nigeria. To do this, the study gathered data from primary sources under consideration. Following this, it adopted a cross-sectional survey research design adopted with the aid of an AHP based q...

Software Architecture has emerged as an important sub-discipline of software engineering. A key aspect of the design of any software is its architecture styles, i.e. components and connectors and their relationships. Selecting the best style is difficult because there are multiple factors such as project risk, corporate goals, limited availability of resources, etc. Therefore this study present...

The aim of this chapter is to investigate the decision process of manufacturing systems (MSs) under uncertain conditions. The decision process needs a systematic approach to structure the system requirements and highlight the management preferences while considering vague criteria. In order to establish a suitable empirical approach for the decision process compatible with the current/future re...

Purpose: To reduce the subjective prejudice and uncertainty in evaluating product quality. Design/methodology/approach: AHP method is used to analyze the structure of product quality evaluation problem and determine weights for evaluation criteria. After structure judge matrix, sequencing calculation and concordance examination, evaluation methods such as fuzzy synthesis evaluation are used to ...

In most industries the cost of raw materials and component parts constitutes the main cost of a product, such that in some cases it can account for up to 70%.In such circumstances decision making of purchasing management can play a key role in cost reduction. In today’s highly competitive environment, an effective supplier selection process is very important to the success of any manufacturing ...
