A complicated decision-making problem such as environmental impact assessment usually requires both quantitative and qualitative decision support tools to collaborate for reaping their benefits concurrently. Although the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) has been widely used in EIA, it is hardly to address the dependence issue among environmental factors and reflect the subjectivity between scie...

AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) has been widely used in decision making. Inner dependence method AHP is one technique even in case of criteria have dependency. However using original AHP or Inner dependence method, the results often lose reliability because the comparison matrix does not always have sufficient consistency. In these cases, fuzzy representation for weighting criteria and alterna...

In this paper, a model for the evaluation of investments in advanced manufacturing technology is developed. Many authors have called for an integration of financial and non-financial factors in such evaluations and this paper demonstrates that it is conceptually possible to do this using the mathematics of the analytic hierarchy process and fuzzy set theory. The development of the model has cer...

The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted development global economy. As most developing and third world countries are heavily dependent on agriculture agricultural imports, supply chains (ASC) in all these exposed to unprecedented risks following COVID-19. Therefore, it is vital investigate impact create resilient ASC organizations. In this study, critical associated with were assesse...

A new Group Fuzzy Preference Programming (GFPP) method for fuzzy prioritisation in the Analytic Hierarchy Process is proposed. The assessment of the priorities from fuzzy pairwise comparison judgements is formulated as an optimisation problem, maximising the group’s overall satisfaction with the group solution. Unlike the existing fuzzy prioritisation methods, the GFPP method derives crisp prio...
