Considering the contemporary business settings, managers’ role is more than essential to the viability and further development of an organization. Managers should possess such skills in order to effectively cope with the competition. Multiple attributes decision making (MADM) is an approach employed to solve problems involving selection from among a finite number of alternatives. The aim of thi...

in applications there occur different forms of uncertainty. the twomost important types are randomness (stochastic variability) and imprecision(fuzziness). in modelling, the dominating concept to describe uncertainty isusing stochastic models which are based on probability. however, fuzzinessis not stochastic in nature and therefore it is not considered in probabilisticmodels.since many years t...

Ranking fuzzy numbers plays a very important role in decision making and some other fuzzy application systems. Many different methods have been proposed to deal with ranking fuzzy numbers. Constructing ranking indexes based on the centroid of fuzzy numbers is an important case. But some weaknesses are found in these indexes. The purpose of this paper is to give a new ranking index to rank vario...

Throughout the present manuscript, we are going to introduce a novel group emergency decision-making technique in which the application of prospect theory explains the psychological behaviour of the decision maker who is affected by the hesitancy and uncertainty of cognition in decision making problems.\Instead of usual aggregation procedure, we implement here a new fusion technique that ...

A decision is often made in a group and decision makers often utilize fuzzy judgments in attempting to reach an optimal solution. In order to deal with the fuzziness of decision makers' judgments in solutions, this paper proposes a fuzzy group decision-making method for multi-objective decision problems. The method allows group members to express their fuzzy preferences for decision objectives,...

a fully fuzzy linear programming (fflp) formulation for the reservoir operation of amultipurpose reservoir in presented in the ongoing paper. in the real world, water resourcessystems usually have complexities among social, economic, natural resources andenvironmental aspects, which lead to multi-objective problems of significant uncertainties insystem parameters, objectives and in their intera...

The risk response development is one of the main phases in the project risk management that has major impacts on a large-scale project’s success. Since projects are unique, and risks are dynamic through the life of the projects, it is necessary to formulate responses of the important risks. Conventional approaches tend to be less effective in dealing with the imprecise of the risk response deve...

energy is a critical factor to obtain a sustainable development for countries and governments. selection of the most appropriate energy alternative is a completely critical and a complex decision making problem. in this paper, an integrated multi-criteria decision-making (mcdm) methodology based on type-2 fuzzy sets is proposed for selection among energy alternatives. then a roadmap has been cr...

Over the years, various methodologies have been investigated and proposed to deal with continuous or numeric data which is very common in any application. With the increasing popularity of fuzzy representation, researchers have proposed to utilize fuzzy logic in decision trees to deal with the situations. This paper presents a survey of current methodology to design FDT (Fuzzy Decision Tree), v...
