Most of data in a multi-attribute decision making (MADM) problem are unstable and changeable, then sensitivity analysis after problem solving can effectively contribute to making accurate decisions. This paper provides a new method for sensitivity analysis of MADM problems so that by using it and changing the weights of attributes, one can determine changes in the final results of a decision ma...

Most of data in a multi attribute decision making (MADM) problem are unstable and changeable, and thus sensitivity analysis can effectively contribute to making proper decisions. Here, we offer a new method for sensitivity analysis of multi-attribute decision making problems so that by changing one element of decision making matrix, we can determine changes in the results of a decision making p...

most of data in multi-attribute decision making (madm) problems are changeable rather than constant and stable. therefore, sensitivity analysis after problem solving can effectively contribute to making accurate decisions. in this paper, we offer a new method for sensitivity analysis in multi-attribute decision making problems in which if the weights of one attribute changes, then we can deter...

Based on the additive multi-attribute value model for multiple attribute decision making (MADM) problems, this paper investigates how the set of attribute weights (or weight-set thereafter) is determined according to preference orders of alternatives given by decision makers. The weight-set is a bounded convex polyhedron and can be written as a convex combination of the extreme points. We give ...

The purpose of this paper is to study a type-2 fuzzy multi-attribute decision making (MADM) methodology. Multi-Attributive Border Approximation area Comparison (MABAC) method is extended for MADM based on trapezoidal interval type-2 fuzzy numbers (TrIT2FNs).This method is a pragmatic and reliable tool for rational decision making due to its own characteristics. A systematic evaluation and asses...

The supplier selection process attracted a lot of attention in the business management literature. This process takes into consideration several quantitative and qualitative variables and is usually modeled as a multi-attribute decision making (MADM) problem. A recognized shortcoming in the literature of classical MADM methods is that they don’t permit the identification of interdependencies am...

the sensitivity analysis for multi-attribute decision making (madm) problems is important for two reasons: first, the decision matrix as the source of the results of a decision problem is inaccurate because it sorts the alternatives in each criterion inaccurately. second, the decision maker may change his opinions in a time period because of changes in the importance of the criteria and in the ...

vendor selection is dominantly considered to be a multi attribute decision making (madm) problem, since the decision maker needs to evaluate suppliers simultaneously in different and even contrastive evaluation criteria. one shortcoming of madm methods is that they only compare alternatives with each other, and there is no comparison with the requirements of the buying company. a very efficient...
