This study aims to develop a Multi-Attribute Decision-Making (MADM) method, the Best-Worst Tradeoff which draws on underlying principles of two popular MADM methods (the Method (BWM) and Tradeoff). The traditional procedure, is based axiomatic foundation multi-attribute value theory, considers ranges attributes, but decision-makers/analysts find it hard check consistency paired comparisons when...

The Best-Worst Method (BWM) is a Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) method that has recently been introduced. original BWM assumes decision-makers are always certain about their judgments even if, in reality, often express uncertain preferences. To deal with uncertainty, we introduce belief structure the BWM, concept involving preference degree adopted via Dempster-Shafer theory. A new appro...

Abstract Hesitant fuzzy preference relations (HFPRs) have been widely applied in multicriteria decision-making (MCDM) for their ability to efficiently express hesitant information. To address the situation where HFPRs are necessary, this paper develops several models integrating with best worst method (BWM). First, consistency measures from perspectives of additive/multiplicative consistent (HF...

Abstract Failure mode and effect analysis (FMEA) is a risk tool widely used in the manufacturing industry. However, traditional FMEA has limitations such as inability to deal with uncertain failure data including subjective evaluations of experts, absence weight values parameters, not considering conditionality between events. In this paper, we propose holistic overcome these limitations. The p...

In this study, both optimistic and pessimistic approaches of data envelopment analysis are applied to propose an equitable ranking method in fuzzy environments. To this end, we suppose that the sum of efficiency scores of all decision making units (DMUs) equals to unity. Using the worst-best and best-worst approaches, the minimum and maximum possible efficiency scores of each DMU are estimated ...

The frequency of chronic diseases such as cardiovascular diseases has significantly increased in recent years. This study is a developmental research which is categorized as descriptive-survey in terms of data collection method. The aim of this study is to prioritize 22 districts of Tehran for the purpose of prevention from cardiovascular diseases. In the present study, after extraction of the ...
