introduction: human resource plays a very important role in the success or failure of a company. the weakness in conclusion of criteria of model efqm (employee's criteria and results) using fahp method (fuzzy analytical hierarchy process) will be discussed here as iranian organizations are usually weak in their results field. method: the present study is an applied research. procedure of doing ...

china is one of the largest grain producing and consuming nations in the world and the importance of grain security to the chinese can never be overemphasized. in this paper, we present a comprehensive early-warning model for evaluating the status of grain security in china. the model is based on the analytic hierarchy process (ahp) method and the dempster–shafer theory (dst). we divided the ri...

flood disaster is considered as a major natural hazard due to its devastatingeffects on the affected areas. determining the flood vulnerable areas is important fordecision makers in order to perform planning and management activities. geographicalinformation system (gis) is integrated with multi criteria decision analysis (mcda)used to analyze the flood vulnerable areas. the aim of this researc...

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...

nowadays, distinctive methods are used in evaluation of the criteria in order to making decision. among them the analytic hierarchy process (ahp) is one of the most efficient. due to the seismicity of the vast majority part of the country and also the existence of the large number of the unreinforced masonry buildings, the application of the ahp method in order to reach to the best alternative ...

Buyer decision processes are the decision-making processes undertaken by consumers about a potential market transaction before, during, and after the purchase of a product or service. More generally, decision-making is the cognitive processes of selecting a course of action from among multiple alternatives. How many evaluation criteria a consumer will use, what different types of criteria will ...

The aim of this study was to develop an optimal sustainable forest plantation based on goal programming and Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) methods. This study was carried out in Guilan province, north of Iran. First of all, the ecological capability of the study area for plantation establishment/maintenance was evaluated based on multi-factor method and specific ecological Makhdoum Model by ...

Abstract   The Analytic Network Process (ANP) is a generalization of the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). The basic structure is an influence network of clusters and nodes contained within the clusters. Priorities are established in the same way they are in the AHP using pairwise comparisons and judgment. Many decision problems cannot be structured hierarchically because they involve the inter...

Mathematical expressions exist in all kinds of documents. The automatic location , recognition, analysis and understanding of mathematical expressions are important. Recognition of mathematical expressions has been an attractive problem for the pattern recognition community. When we meet the mathematical expressions we can’t recognize them like the way of ordinary text recognitions. We are in u...
