This paper proposes a compromise model, based on the technique for order preference through similarity ideal solution (TOPSIS) methodology, to solve the multi-objective large-scale linear programming (MOLSLP) problems with block angular structure involving fuzzy parameters. The problem involves fuzzy parameters in the objective functions and constraints. This compromise programming method is ba...

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...

Supplier selection is a multi-criteria problem which includes both tangible and intangible factors in these problems if suppliers have capacity or other different constraints two problems will exist: which suppliers are the best and how much should be purchased from each selected supplier? The objective of this paper is to present an integrated model and a supporting approach for effective ...

Maintenance has been acknowledged by industrial management as a significant influencing factor of plant performance. Effective plant maintenance can be realized by developing a proper maintenance strategy. However, selecting an appropriate maintenance strategy is difficult because maintenance is a non-repetitive task such as production activity. Maintenance also does not leave a consistent trac...

This paper extended TOPSIS (Technique for Order Preference by Similarity Ideal Solution) method for solving Two-Level Large Scale Linear Multiobjective Optimization Problems with Stochastic Parameters in the righthand side of the constraints (TL-LSLMOP-SP)rhs of block angular structure. In order to obtain a compromise ( satisfactory) solution to the (TL-LSLMOP-SP)rhs of block angular structure ...

Various traditional and industrial coke making techniques were discussed based on their limitations and production capacities, and the criteria such as the quality and size of coke production, amount of coke crumb, amount of investment, amount of operational costs, labor force and mechanization. In this work, the rankings of various traditional and industrial coke making techniques were carried...

This study simplifies the complicated metric distance method [L.S. Chen, C.H. Cheng, Selecting IS personnel using ranking fuzzy number by metric distance method, Eur. J. Operational Res. 160 (3) 2005 803–820], and proposes an algorithm to modify Chen’s Fuzzy TOPSIS (Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution) [C.T. Chen, Extensions of the TOPSIS for group decision-making und...
