Using improvements to the recently published m-polar fuzzy set (mFS) elimination and choice translating reality-I (ELECTRE-I) approach for calculating criteria weights, selection of a Non-Traditional Machining (NTM) process problem from industry is solved in this research. The weights ELECTRE-I method are evaluated using Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) Revised Simos' method. For ELECTRE fami...

Environmental impact assessment (EIA) is the assessment of the possible impact that a proposed plan or project may have on the environment, together consisting of the natural, social and economic aspects. The aim of this paper is to propose an environmental impact assessment methodology based on an integrated fuzzy AHP–ELECTRE approach in the context of urban industrial planning. In the propose...

We propose a generalized approach to the already existing crisp methods to solve the fuzzy multiattribute decision making problem. Specifically we deal with four methods, namely Simple Additive Weighting, Linear Assignment, TOPSIS and ELECTRE, where fuzzy numbers are used to represent the ratings of the alternatives and relative weights of the attributes. Through the use of fuzzy mathematics we...

This note deals with the problem of choosing on the basis of a fuzzy preference relation. In the area of MCDM, such a problem occurs with outranking methods using fuzzy relations such as ELECTRE III. In this note, we study a choice procedure based on the ‘min in favor’. We show that it is the only one to satisfy a system of three independent axioms.

Picture fuzzy set (PFS) is more comprehensive tool than intuitionistic (IFS) for modeling the uncertain decision-making problems. In this paper, a new picture entropy measure proposed and proved that satisfies axiomatic definition of measures sets. Besides this, useful mathematical properties are also investigated. The justification established by discussing its particular cases compares it wit...

The ELECTRE I is one of the most extensively used methods to solve multiple criteria decision making (MCDM) problems. In this paper, we propose a novel AHPbased ELECTRE I method of reliability design scheme decision for computer numerical control (CNC) machine. Based on the AHP method combined with ELECTRE I, the decision model is built to select the optimal design scheme. The AHP method is app...

The ELECTRE family of decision aid methods are well-known approaches in the field of multiple criteria decision aiding (MCDA). Different ELECTRE methods can be used for choice problem, ranking problem and sorting problem respectively. These methods are characterized by outranking relations and exploitation procedures. Different definitions of the outranking relations result in the difference of...

Selecting a suitable design for lean facility layout has become critical issue manufacturing company aiming to remove waste or non-value-added activities and implement the optimal arrangement. Many quantitative qualitative criteria with different weights need be considered in evaluating designs. To address issue, Best-Worst method (BWM) based on fuzzy ELECTRE I is introduced determine design, w...
