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. Therefore, being the semiconductor industry applying a wide huge of advanced...

In this paper, an intelligent approach is presented to help companies select most suitable computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) software among a set of existing alternatives for their current and future needs. For this purpose, a fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (AHP) method integrating the fuzzy logic and AHP methods is used to carry out CAM selection process more effectively, easily and applica...

Nowadays, sustainable End-of-Life vehicle (ELV) management has been recognized as the most important issue to overcome environmental and economic challenges for most companies. Hence, sustainable ELV strategies evaluation plays a crucial rule in order to improve the sustainability performance of companies. In this paper, an evaluation model based on the Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) an...

Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is major method for decision making now and decision maker’s answers are strongly related to his or her cognitive abilities. Inner dependence AHP is used for cases in which criteria or alternatives are not independent enough. In the process, calculations and compositions of weights are very important steps. Using the original AHP or inner dependence AHP may caus...

In this paper, the application of the Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (Fuzzy AHP) combined with a set of criteria analysis for the selection of appropriate sites for the development offshore wind energy in Taiwan is presented. The Fuzzy AHP was first conducted to rank the importance and identify the key factors of offshore wind energy successfully. From the numerical results, eight key factors...

Web administrators’ prioritization of several upgrading alternatives with respect to multiple contradictory criteria involve fuzziness and impreciseness of human’s subjective judgements in a Web server system. In this paper, fuzzy concepts are used to enhance the traditional Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) which are mainly applied in crisps decision environment. The entropy weight proposed by ...

Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP), as a multiple criteria decision making tools especially in the problems with spatial nature or GIS-based. In addition this study treats the steps AHP, its manner to apply and its weaknesses and strengths and ultimately the fuzzy modified Analytical Hierarchy Process (FAHP) which is proposed after that the concepts like of fuzziness, uncertainty and vagueness ...

The Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) model was designed by Thomas L.Saaty (Saaty, 1980) in 1970s as a decision making aid. It is especially suitable for complex decisions which involve the comparison of decision elements which are difficult to quantify. It is based on the assumption that when faced with a complex decision the natural human reaction is to cluster the decision elements according ...

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...

This paper presents a review of various multi-criteria decision analysis techniques. The focus of this research is to identify suitable techniques to be used to assign weights between different factors that influence user acceptance of software technology in the healthcare industry. Three widely known methodologies used for identifying, classifying and evaluating various alternatives are briefl...
