Mining operations in China are often threatened by frequent water inrushes from confined karst aquifers, We need to evaluate the risk from water-inrush from coal floors in order to have safe production in mines. water inrush risk assessment method based on fuzzy comprehensive evaluation is introduced in this paper. A secondary fuzzy comprehensive evaluation system is constructed to evaluate the...

The quality of road and bridge engineering is directly related to the safety transportation industry. In construction highway bridges, it particularly important strictly control quality. Combining analytic hierarchy process fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method, AHP-fuzzy method used obtain current risk level. According different levels, effective measures should be taken avoid unsafe accidents...

The selection of appropriate wells for hydraulic fracturing is one of the most important decisions faced by oilfield engineers. It has significant implications for the future development of an oilfield in terms of its productivity and economics. In this study, we developed a fuzzy model for well selection that combines the major objective criteria with the subjective judgments of decision maker...

Analysis of strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats (SWOT) is a method to formulate the strategy. Although the SWOT analysis successfully provides the key factors of the problem, it has some drawbacks in selecting appropriate strategy for the evaluation and final decision steps. During recent years, some multiple criteria decision making (MCDM) techniques such as analytic hierarchy pro...

Personnel evaluation and selection is a very important activity for the enterprises. Different job needs different ability and the requirement of criteria which can measure ability is different. It needs a suitable and flexible method to evaluate the performance of each candidate according to different requirements of different jobs in relation to each criterion. Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP...

This paper conducts a comparison analysis of some of the most common defuzzification techniques which helps rank fuzzy weights calculated from fuzzy comparison matrices through Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process. Ranking of weights calculated through FAHP algorithms is of critical importance as it directly effects the decision making process. More so ranking of fuzzy numbers is also important in ...

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 (...

Limited business resources and a fierce market competition require quality management which considers stakeholders’ needs. For every production company important stakeholders are suppliers of components embedded in the final product. The selection of suppliers of product components plays a very important role in the realization of the production process. Supplier selection is a multi-criteria d...
