Multiple-criteria decision-making (MCDM) that deals with multiple criteria in decision-making environments has been explicitly applied to various decision-making fields. Nevertheless, the critical issues of uncertainty and inaccuracy generally and gradually exists in the majority of the MCDM processes because of (1) prejudice and preference of decision-makers or experts as well as (2) the insuf...

Multicriteria decision making (MCDM) refers to screening, prioritizing, ranking or selecting the alternatives based on human judgment from among a finite set of ` alternatives in terms of the multiple usually conflicting criteria. A very significant role in MCDM models plays the weights of criteria which usually provide the information about the relative importance of the considered criteria. S...

background: nowadays, the health work decision makers need to analyze a huge amount of data and consider many conflicting evaluation criteria and sub-criteria. therefore, an ergonomic evaluation in the work environment in order to the control occupational disorders is considered as the multi criteria decision making (mcdm) problem. in this study, the ergonomic risks factors, which may influence...

--------------------------------------------------------ABSTRACT----------------------------------------------------------The significance of decision making from the maintenance perspective has long been acknowledged by the manufacturing industry. Appropriate maintenance alternative decision making increases machine reliability and enhances both productivity and product quality. By contrast, p...

This article is based on previous author’s articles on a correct way for ranking alternatives in Multi-criteria Decision-Making (MCDM). A straightforward but robust Weighed-Sum Procedure (WSP) is presented. It consists in combining additively ranks or scores evaluated against a dimensionless scale, common to all criteria. MCDM methodologies based on pair-wise comparison methods are on the contr...

This paper describes an application of multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) for multi-modal fusion of features in a 3D face recognition system. A decision making process is outlined that is based on the performance of multi-modal features in a face recognition task involving a set of 3D face databases. In particular, the fuzzy interval valued MCDM technique called TOPSIS is applied for ranking...

A simplified neutrosophic uncertain linguistic set that integrates quantitative and qualitative evaluation can serve as an extension of both an uncertain linguistic variable and a simplified neutrosophic set. It can describe the real preferences of decision-makers and reflect their uncertainty, incompleteness and inconsistency. This paper focuses on multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) problem...

Technology is changing the way for human readers. An electronic book (eBook) is a digital form publication that changes reading ways. According to July 2010 statistics from the Ministry of the Interior, the population of Taiwan was 23,350,000. However, 33% of the population were over 65 years old. The usage of eBooks and the interface design are becoming more and more important subjects for the...

decision making about outsourcing or insourcing of manufacturing activities is a type of multiple criteria decision making (mcdm) problem, which requires considering quantitative and qualitative factors as evaluation criteria simultaneously. therefore, a suitable mcdm method can be useful in this area as it can consider the interactions among quantitative and qualitative criteria. the analytic ...
