Problem statement: The “Energy Policy for Europe, EPE” and three environmental directives, proposed by the European Union (EU) in 2007, are stricter than those self-restrained by the enterprises. For this reason, the enterprises have to shortly improve their products for meeting with the strict requests setup by the EU. Consequently, it becomes even more important that the manufacturers evaluat...

Software is everywhere. However, software is not always trustworthy. Confronting the demand of software trustworthiness evaluation, this paper proposes a novel software trustworthiness evaluation approach based on combination weights (CW) and improved TOPSIS methods. The determination of CW relies on exper gments and mathematical computation together. FAHP method is used to determine the import...

Because of the pressure of globalization in the last two decades, professional services has become an important strategic decision so that supplier selection is a prime concern. In the semiconductor industry, the prior researches worked on analyzing and improving the process, and evaluating the equipment manufacturers. Consequently, this study is to identify critical factors related to the wafe...

The returns and risks of high-yield bond (HYB) lie between the stocks and Treasury bonds. In view of investment opportunities and the rate of return, the advantages of HYB are both lower risks and higher shares. Therefore, HYB has become one of important components in the portfolios. The purpose of this study is to identify critical factors related to the selection of HYB. Primary criteria to e...

Along with the advance of scientific powers strategic of our country, all types and levels funding limit and quantity of college scientific research project have also increased constantly. It is very important to have complete, accurate and fair evaluations for university scientific research project management performance. Fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (FAHP) as a qualitative, a quantitative...

This paper concerns with proposing a fuzzy logic based expert system to breakthrough the problem of alternatives evaluation in Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). AHP as a multi criteria decision aid helped decision makers for analyzing and prioritizing the alternatives in a hierarchical structure. During times AHP encountered some problems. Hence, fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (FAHP) and some...

Most decision-making and problem-solving tasks are too complex to be understood quantitatively. People perform such tasks using knowledge that is imprecise rather than precise. This study presents consistent fuzzy linguistic preference relations rather than fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (FAHP) to select computer integrated manufactory (CIM) systems. The proposed method yields decision matric...

Selecting the suppliers in a green supply chain (GSC) improves capabilities by considering environmental policies. On other hand, development of technology and intelligence Internet Things (IoT) their help to meet goals better, it is essential study them this area. So, crucial identify influential factors IoT selecting supplier find its most important criteria for further monitoring control. Th...
