The fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (fuzzy AHP) and fuzzy decision making trial and evaluation laboratory (fuzzy DEMATEL) have been used to obtain weights for criteria and relationships among dimensions and criteria respectively. The twomethods could be integrated since it serves different purposes. Previous research suggested that the weights of criteria and the relationships among dimensions...

At present, environmental issues become real critical barriers for many supply chain corporations concerning the sustainability of their businesses. In this context, several studies have been proposed from both academia and industry trying to develop new measurements related to green supply chain management (GSCM) practices to overcome these barriers, which will help create new environmental st...

In this paper, an intelligent approach is presented to help companies select most suitable computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) software among a set of existing alternatives for their current and future needs. For this purpose, a fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (AHP) method integrating the fuzzy logic and AHP methods is used to carry out CAM selection process more effectively, easily and applica...

Reverse logistics practices are gaining attention due to industrial ecology, enforced legislation and corporate citizenship but presence of barriers make reverse logistics (RL) implementation difficult and hence reduce the success rate. To increase RL adoption, robust and flexible strategies are required to overcome its barriers. This study focuses on identification and ranking the solutions of...

The conveyor system plays a vital role in improving the performance of flexible manufacturing cells (FMCs). The conveyor selection problem involves the evaluation of a set of potential alternatives based on qualitative and quantitative criteria. This paper presents an integrated multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) model of a fuzzy AHP (analytic hierarchy process) and fuzzy ARAS (additive rati...

Landfill location selection is a multi-criteria decision problem and has a strategic importance for many regions. The conventional methods for landfill location selection are insufficient in dealing with the vague or imprecise nature of linguistic assessment. To resolve this problem, fuzzy multi-criteria decision-making methods are proposed. The aim of this paper is to use fuzzy TODIM (the acro...

Outsourcing some of the logistic activities is a useful strategy for companies in recent years. This makes it possible for firms to concentrate on their main issues and processes and presents facility to improve logistics performance, to reduce costs, and to improve quality. Therefore provider selection and evaluation in third-party logistics become important activities for companies. Making a ...

In this study, we present an integrated method of Analytical Hierarchy Process based on interval type-2 fuzzy sets (IT2FAHP) and Technique for Order Performance by Similarity to Ideal Solution based on on interval type-2 fuzzy sets (IT2FTOPSIS). The applicability of the proposed integrated method was performed on a case study of evaluation of life quality for 28 European Union Countries and oth...

here, we propose a fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (fahp) method to evaluate the alternatives of enterprise resource planning (erp) system. the fuzzy ahp approach allows the users get values more accurately to model the vagueness which changes according subjective ideas in the decision-making environment for erp system selection problem. therefore, fuzzy ahp method is used to obtain firm decis...

This research aims to help develop aviation safety policies for the general industry, especially flight training schools. The analytical hierarchy process (AHP), fuzzy AHP, and integral methods were used find variables that impact pilots in Korea United States using survey participants’ experience perceptions. results represent circumstances of real world where single pilot resource management,...
