CDIO engineering education mode is the successful model of the reformation of engineering education. According to the training objectives and curriculum system of water supply & drainage, evaluation index system is proposed based on CDIO standard. The weight of each evaluation factor is calculated by analytic hierarchy process (AHP). The evaluation model is established based on multi-level fuzz...

Underground mining method selection is one of the most crucial decisions that should be made by mining engineers. Choosing a suitable underground mining method to carry out extraction from a mineral deposit is very important in terms of the economics, safety and the productivity of mining operations. The aim of this study is developing a fuzzy model to selection the optimum mining method by usi...

This paper is concerned with the make-or-buy decision model for manufacturing and procurement problems. We develop a web-based two-step approach such as: 1) the first step, we used the multi-attribute analysis method using AHP(analytic hierarchy process) and 2) second step we used fuzzy set ranking methodologies to integrate the special decision problems that are the problems of multiobjective,...

Due to green legislations, industries track the used products through reverse logistics contractors. A reverse logistics programme offers significant cost savings in procurement, transportation, disposal and inventory carrying. Since reverse logistics operations and the supply chains they support are considerably more complex than traditional manufacturing supply chains, it can be offered to 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...

In order to evaluate the graduates attending second-round examination objectively, this study established graduate second-round examination evaluate system based on Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method. Evaluation indexes in the system included knowledge structure, scientific research ability and comprehensive quality of graduates attending second-round exa...

The problem of network selection across heterogeneous wireless networks has recently received much attention because of a drive for converged communication systems. However, since the selection of an access network depends on several parameters with different relative importance, such as the network and the application characteristics, the user preferences, the service cost, etc, it is a diffic...

Yusuff et al. [Yusuff, R. M., Yee, K. P., & Hashmi, M. S. J. (2001). A preliminary study on the potential use of the analytical hierarchical process (AHP) to predict advanced manufacturing technology (AMT) implementation. Robotics and Computer Integrated Manufacturing, 17, 421–427.] presented the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) for forecasting the success of advanced manufacturing technology (...

As international corporate activities increase, the staffing of their operations involves more strategic concerns. However, foreign assignments have many differences, and dissatisfaction with host country is a known cause of expatriate failure. This study distinguishes from previous studies, which focused on the expatriate selection process from the viewpoint of the human resource managers. Fro...
