Abstract—The Analytic Hierarchy Process is frequently used approach for solving decision making problems. There exists wide range of software programs utilizing that approach. Their main disadvantage is that they are relatively expensive and missing intermediate calculations. This work introduces a Microsoft Excel add-in called DAME – Decision Analysis Module for Excel. Comparing to other compu...

the conventional intervening opportunity model which is potentially a powerful analytical and probabilistic model, has been used in transportation planning to model trip distribution pattern. this model is basically suffering from two main limitations. these limitations are the assumptions that trip makers are fully aware of all available opportunities in the area and their trip lengths to all ...

Decision makers typically integrate multiple pieces of information to make predictions and decisions. They also sometimes receive algorithmic advice, but often discount such advice. This usually results in less consistent accurate than consistently using the We hypothesized that individual differences on psychological traits as dutifulness (a facet conscientiousness), decision-making styles, pr...

This paper gives an overview of the PROMETHEE methodology for MCDM. It starts with general comments on Multicriterion problems, stressing that a Multicriterion problem cannot be treated without additional information related to the preferences and the priorities of the decision-makers. The information requested by PROMETHEE is particularly clear and easy to define for both decision-makers and a...

Nowadays, the plant location selection has a critical impact on the performance of numerous companies. In this paper, a methodology is presented to solve this problem. The three decision making methods, namely Delphi, AHP and improved VIKOR, are hybridized in order to make the best use of information available based on the decision makers or experts. In this respect, the aim of using Delphi is ...

In real life scientific and engineering problems decision making is common practice. Decision making include single decision maker or group of decision makers. Decision maker’s expressions consists imprecise, inconsistent and indeterminate information. Also, the decision maker cannot select the best solution in unidirectional (single goal) way. Therefore, proposed model adopts decision makers’ ...

This paper presents a new decision making approach for group multi-criteria evaluation for green supply chain management strategies, which clubs green procurement , manufacturing , green service to customer and environmental management process with order allocation for dynamic supply chains to cope market variations. More specifically, the developed approach imitates the knowledge acquisition a...

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...

Select an appropriate project is a main key for contractors to increase their profits. In practice, in this area the uncertainty and imprecise of the involved parameters is so high. Therefore, considering fuzzy sets theory to deal with uncertainly is more appreciate. The aim of this paper is present a multi-criteria group decision-making model under an intuitionistic fuzzy set environment. Henc...
