This paper applies fuzzy set theory to evaluate the service quality of online auction. Service quality is a composition of various criteria. Among them many intangible attributes are difficult to measure. This characteristic introduces the obstacles for respondent in replying to the survey. So as to overcome this problem, we invite fuzzy set theory into the measurement of performance. By using ...

The layout design problem is a strategic issue and has a significant impact on the efficiency of a manufacturing system. Much of the existing layout design literature that uses a surrogate function for flow distance or for simplified objectives may be entrapped into local optimum; and subsequently lead to a poor layout design due to the multiple-attribute decision making (MADM) nature of a layo...

Increases in populations and in particular in developing countries are placing increased pressure on both natural and agricultural resources. In many cases, especially in semi-arid regions, the pressures are compounded by restricted agricultural lands. Reliable and relevant land evaluation is a requirement for land use policy and decision making to support sustainable rural development. Land ev...

In this paper, we investigate the multiple attribute decision making (MADM) problemsfor evaluating the archives websites’ performance with interval intuitionistic fuzzy information.Then,based on the TOPSIS method, calculation steps for solving MADM problems for evaluating thearchives websites’ performance with interval intuitionistic fuzzy information are given. The weightedHamming distances pr...

The technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS) is a well-known multi-attribute decision making (MADM) method that is used to identify the most attractive alternative solution among a finite set of alternatives based on the simultaneous minimization of the distance from an ideal solution (IS) and the maximization of the distance from the nadir solution (NS). We propo...

Multicriteria group decision making MCGDM research has rapidly been developed and become a hot topic for solving complex decision problems. Because of incomplete or non-obtainable information, the refractured well-selection problem often exists in complex and vague conditions that the relative importance of the criteria and the impacts of the alternatives on these criteria are difficult to dete...

The article is devoted to the problem of multi-criteria decision making. As application used equipment selection problem. analysis existing methods for solving this given. a method fuzzy TOPSIS (The Technique Order Preference by Similarity Ideal Solution) proposed. This based on ideal solution approach. issues practical implementation are discussed in details. results test at all stages present...
