There are various methods regarding project selection in different fields. This paper deals with an actual application of construction project selection, using two aggregation operators. First, the opinion of experts is used in a model of group decision making called intuitionistic fuzzy TOPSIS IFT . Secondly, project evaluation is formulated by dynamic intuitionistic fuzzy weighted averaging D...

in this paper has been used a new integrated method of fuzzy topsis and zero-one integer linear programming for location selection of bahman group company facilities and manufacturing stations of affairs. selected criteria and constraints are dividing to the explicit and implicit categories. candidate alternatives have been selected from current and useable points of company. the first criteria...

Abstract Purpose of this paper: The objectives of this paper are two folds: (1) utilizing hierarchical fuzzy technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS) approach to evaluate the most suitable RFID-based systems decision, and (2) to highlight key risks and benefits of radio frequency identification technology in healthcare industry. Design/methodology/approach: R...

Abstract Background Kaizen is a very important continuous improvement technique; however, measuring kaizen results/benefits have not been clearly and comprehensively addressed by the literature. Objectives This paper aims to propose system integrating Balanced Scorecard (BSC) Fuzzy Technique for Order Performance Similarity Ideal Solution (Fuzzy TOPSIS). Methods/Approach Three research instrume...

Energy has been universally recognized as a key element for sustainable development. In developing countries, such as Turkey, energy demand increases thanks to a fast growing population and economy, posing threats of energy availability in the next decades. For this reason, Turkey has to evaluate and develop domestic, clean, and reliable energy sources from different alternative sources for sus...

Taking into consideration technology acceptance factors, website service quality and specific holdup cost factors, this research explores how shopping websites to establish their competitive advantages through these dimensions. We begin with an examination of the literature on shopping websites about its competitive advantages upon which we propose a conceptual framework. Then this research ado...

species selection based on a new method such as a fuzzy method is one of the most important stages in the successful plantation management planning as choosing a suitable species for the site can be the key to success. this paper is based on a fuzzy extension of the technique or order preference which is similar to ideal solution (topsis) method. the purpose of this paper is to develop fuzzy to...

Considering the fact that, in some cases, determining precisely the exact value of attributes is difficult and that their values can be considered as fuzzy data, this paper extends the TOPSIS method for dealing with fuzzy data, and an algorithm for determining the best choice among all possible choices when the data are fuzzy is also presented. In this approach, to identify the fuzzy ideal solu...

Decision making is a process common to human beings. The uncertainty and fuzziness of problems demand the use of the fuzzy linguistic approach to model qualitative aspects of problems related to decision. The recent proposal of hesitant fuzzy linguistic term sets supports the elicitation of comparative linguistic expressions in hesitant situations when experts hesitate among different linguisti...

The management of the health-care wastes is one of the most important problems in Istanbul, a city with more than 12 million inhabitants, as it is in most of the developing countries. Negligence in appropriate treatment and final disposal of the healthcare wastes can lead to adverse impacts to public health and to the environment. This paper employs a fuzzy multi-criteria group decision making ...
