The main purpose of this paper is to present a fuzzy multi-criteria decision making (FMCDM) model for international tourist hotel location selection. In this article we created 21 criteria for selecting the international tourist hotel location acquired from literatures review and practical investigations. And the methods of fuzzy set theory, linguistic value, hierarchical structure analysis, an...

Our study examines the group decision-making process and proposes a multi-criteria framework for e-commerce solution investment in information technology (IT) portfolios. First, the evaluation criteria that fit in the IT evaluation context are constructed. Second, the Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (FAHP) is employed to determine the weights of decision criteria and the benefit score to the c...

Fuzzy multiple criteria decision making (FMCDM) problem is an important issue in the field of decision making. Traditional weighted method is on the basis of disputed arithmetic operation and comparison operation on fuzzy numbers, the accuracy of decision is doubtful. In this paper, a new method is proposed to solve the FMCDM problem based on the generalized fuzzy numbers and power average oper...

Multi Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) provides strong decision making in domains where selection of best alternative is highly complex. This survey paper reviews the main streams of consideration in multi criteria decision making theory and practice in detail. The main purpose is to identify various applications and the approaches, and to suggest approaches which are most robustly and effective...

As the result of the development of Fuzzy Multiple Criteria Decision Making (FMCDM) with the help of fuzzy set theory a number of innovations have been made possible. The new approach of FMCDM – Fuzzy Hierarchical Modeling is introduced. It is shown in the article, how to use the fuzzy hierarchical model with other methods of FMCDM. Advantages of the method are described also. We propose a nove...

The purpose of this paper is to propose a ranking method for solving fuzzy multiple criteria decision making (FMCDM) problems. The representation of multiplication operation on fuzzy numbers is useful for the decision makers to rank all alternatives and choose the best one under the fuzzy multiple criteria decision making environment. The representation of multiplication operation on three fuzz...

in developed countries, improvement has been made in service providing industries along with the improvements made in quality assurance and management skills and systems in the domain of manufacturing industries. unfortunately, in developing countries, primary needs have led these countries to focus their attention illogically and solely on production and they disregard the quality of services....

In current practice, the design is still based on the sequential design methodology, which makes the process or manufacture information not considered at the preliminary design stage. In addition, the quality of design and the time to perform them are largely dependent on the experience of the engineers. Casebased design is an intelligent method which involves retrieving the most similar previo...

This paper presents a fuzzy multi-criteria decision-making (FMCDM) model by integrating both subjective and objective weights for ranking and evaluating the service quality in hotels. The objective method selects weights of criteria through mathematical calculation, while the subjective method uses judgments of decision makers. In this paper, we use a combination of weights ob...

Abstract: Fuzzy multiple criteria decision-making (FMCDM) methods are techniques of finding the trade-off option out of all feasible alternatives that are characterized by multiple criteria and where data cannot be measured precisely, but can be represented, for instance, by ordered fuzzy numbers (OFNs). One of the main steps in FMCDM methods consist in finding the appropriate criteria weights....
