A lot of computer-based methods have been developed to assess the evacuation capability (EC) of high-rise buildings. Because softwares are time-consuming and not proper for on scene applications, we adopted two methods, fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (FAHP) and technique for order preference by similarity to an ideal solution (TOPSIS), for EC assessment of a high-rise building in Jinan. The E...

The aim of the study is developing a fuzzy decision model to select a student from an Engineering college who is eligible for All Round Excellence Award for the year 2004-05 by taking subjective judgments of decision makers into consideration. Here Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (FAHP) approach and (Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solutions (TOPSIS) methods are proposed....

With the great challenges that latest pandemic (COVID-19) has imposed on manufacturing companies, need to overcome and cope with such situations is becoming crucial. Supply chain resilience one of main aspects enables manufacturers change uncertainty; therefore, it essential develop capabilities necessary do so. This study aimed ensure supply in light COVID-19 through prioritizing capabilities....

The spectral handoff is important in cognitive wireless networks to ensure an adequate quality of service and performance for secondary user communications. This work presents a multivariable algorithm for dynamic channel selection used in cognitive wireless networks. The channel selection is based on the fuzzy analytical hierarchical process (FAHP) method. The selected criteria for choosing th...

This paper proposes a new method for finding fuzzy weights in the fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (FAHP), which fuzzifies the derived formulation of an eigenvector directly. The presented formulation only needs information about the upper triangular matrix and the assumption about the reciprocal matrix is not necessary. This characteristic makes the FAHP feasible because the property of recipr...

The river ranking problem is a strategic issue and has significant impact on the efficiency of a river system. On the other hand, the river ranking among many alternatives presents a multi criteria decision making (MCDM) problem. Hence fuzzy set theory can be applied. Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy process (FAHP) technique is used to rank alternatives to find the efficient use of the river system. Fu...

Abstract Cloud Manufacturing (CMfg) is a new manufacturing paradigm that promises to reduce costs, improve data analysis, increase efficiency and flexibility, provide manufacturers with closer partnerships. However, most past CMfg research has focused on either the information technology infrastructure or planning scheduling of hypothetical system. In addition, cost effectiveness application ra...

In recent years, the mobile devices are equipped with several wireless interfaces in heterogeneous environments which integrate a multitude of radio access technologies (RAT’s). The evolution of these technologies will allow the users to benefit simultaneously from these RAT’s. However, the most important issue is how to choose the most suitable access network for mobile’s user which can be use...

Original scientific paper Recently companies have begun to use their storage effectively to attain leadership in the market environment, utilizing Barcode and RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) systems for warehouse management. In this study AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) and FAHP (Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process) are used to choose between Barcode and RFID systems for the company warehou...
