This research paper aims to give a new dimension to the decision maker by proposing a hybrid model of analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and preference ranking organisation method for enrichment evaluation (PROMETHEE) in 3PL selection. It uses an integrated approach of AHP-PROMTHEE as a selection methodology to select an efficient and requisite 3PL firm for a manufacturer. A relatively new and us...

Measuring quality of object oriented (OO) software is challenging mainly because we are facing a number of more or less dependent parameters that characterize the properties of good OO design. This paper proposes a combination of AHP and PROMETHEE for measuring object oriented software design. We have compared AHP and PROMETHEE performance for such purpose in the ISAHP 2011. The result suggeste...

This paper discusses the strengths and weaknesses of the Preference Ranking Organisation MeTHod for Enrichment Evaluations (PROMETHEE) and analytic hierarchy process (AHP) methods. Building upon this analysis, recommendations are formulated to integrate into PROMETHEE a number of useful AHP features, especially as regards the design of the decision-making hierarchy (ordering of goals, sub-goals...

Testability is an essential criterion for software quality and it is always difficult to measure. Multicriteria Decision Making (MCDM) approaches are very effectively and widely used in predicting the quality of the software. MCDM techniques are very helpful in ambiguous range of decisions. It has the ability to grip the uncertainty of pairwise comparisons. In this paper, multicriteria decision...

As the offshoring becomes more widespread, business practitioners outsource their activities to overseas countries. Although there is a wealth of academic literature examining outsourcing and offshoring, there is little literature that addresses the current outsourcing decision most firms facing, which is where to outsource. Given multi-attribute nature of offshore location selection, this pape...

Selecting the best mining method among many alternatives is a multicriteria decision making problem. The aim of this paper is to demonstrate the implementation of an integrated approach that employs AHP and PROMETHEE together for selecting the most suitable mining method for the "Coka Marin" underground mine in Serbia. The related problem includes five possible mining methods and eleven criteri...

The candidate selection process involves thoughtful empirical decisions which determine the best fit from a pool of contesting candidates. A wide range of criteria is used to assess the candidates. This paper utilizes an improved PROMETHEE II (Preference Ranking Organization Method for Enrichment Evaluation) methodology which efficiently establishes its applicability and potentiality to solve s...

Failure Mode Effect Analysis (FMEA) is one of user friendly and handy tool available in the hands of the process industries to identifying and eliminating the potential failures in systems, processes and designing. In this FMEA method prioritization of the failure modes are based on Risk Priority Number (RPN). This RPN can be calculated by multiplying the scores of various risk factors and cate...

This work first studies the effects of several Low Impact development methods on urban flood control. The Analytic Hierarchy Process-Preference Ranking Organization Method for Enrichment Evaluation (AHP-PROMETHEE) combination method is then used to select best design. A drainage system in Golestan town Semnan under a 5-year return period investigated as case study. LID are selected based region...

With increasing concern toward environmental protection, enterprises have become more and more responsible for their products reducing pollution and damage. Green supply chain management (GSCM) considers a systematic and integrated approach for companies to maintain their sustainability and competitiveness in the market. Among issues of GSCM, green supplier selection is an important issue in im...
