Selection of qualified persons suitable for different organization functions is a key success factor for an organization. The complexity and importance of the problem call for analytical methods rather than intuitive decisions. The personnel selection problem requires the application of multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) methods for robust recruitment. This paper has to objectives; first to ...

To support the efficient appraisal and selection of available best practices, this paper proposes a strategy for the implementation of Business Process Redesign (BPR). Its backbone is formed by the analytical hierarchy process (AHP) multi-criteria method and our earlier research on the popularity and impact of redesign best practices. Using (AHP) we derive a classification of most suitable best...

geographic information system (gis) and analytical hierarchy process (ahp) were applied to ecological zoning of current agricultural lands in gorgan for sunflower cultivation. for this purpose, agro-ecological requirements of sunflower firstly, identified according to scientific resources. rating and thematic requirement maps were then provided. studied environmental-components were: average, m...

landfill site selection is an important action in integrated solid waste management process. different criteria should be considered in site selection. therefore using special methods are necessary to evaluate the criteria. the object of the current study was to determine and select suitable sites for solid waste landfill in shiraz city regarding the observation of environmental matters by usin...

enterprise architecture (ea) is a discipline for understanding, engineering, and managing different components of an enterprise and their interrelationships. moreover, because the risk and impact of ea are pervasive across the enterprise, it is critical to perform an architecture assessment before making any decision about choosing a scenario. this paper provides an approach based on fuzzy anal...

-This study presents an evaluation model for purchasing life insurance and annuity insurance using analytical hierarchy process (AHP) and fuzzy logic. Four factors are considered as the inputs of the proposed model including age, annual income, educational level and risk preference. To build the model, we interviewed five experts with at least three years of working experience in an insurance c...

The Raichur district is considered as a drought prone area in Karnataka. study was carried out to compare and evaluate the performance of six indices namely Standardized precipitation index (SPI), evapotranspiration (SPEI), China Z (CZI), Deciles, Percent Normal (PN) Rainfall anamoly (RAI). A time series were compared evaluated using histogram analytical hierarchy process (AHP). showed that PN,...

The objective of this study is to produce suitability maps for potential rainwater harvesting techniques (RWHT) in the West Bank (WB), Palestine. These aim reduce water scarcity, which a major problem conservation resources area. Based on literature reviews and expert recommendations, seven RWHts were selected (runoff basin system, contour ridges, cisterns, eyebrow terrace, check dam, on-farm p...

Evaluating alignments for a transportation corridor is a complex process that involves many decision makers and stakeholders. Capturing input about important considerations is vital to the process of alignment selection and is an iterative process. Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) provides a systematic methodology to compare, select, and rank multiple alternatives using disparate data sour...

In this article, by using fuzzy AHP and TOPSIS technique we propose a new method for project selection problem. After reviewing four common methods of comparing alternatives investment (net present value, rate of return, benefit cost analysis and payback period) we use them as criteria in AHP tree. In this methodology by utilizing improved Analytical Hierarchy Process by Fuzzy set theory, first...
