Capturing attitudinal characteristics of decision-makers in group decision making: application to select policy recommendations to enhance supply chain resilience under COVID-19 outbreak

Application of Fuzzy Decision-Making to Facility Layout Planning

This research proposes a vigorous methodology based on the fuzzy set theory to improve the facility layout process. Using natural language, the fuzzy set theory is an appropriate tool for controlling complex systems such as facility planning. The closeness rating between departments in a plant depends on qualitative and quantitative factors. Some of these factors may have a greater effect on th...

Group decision making method with fuzzy preference of decision makers

A decision is often made in a group and decision makers often utilize fuzzy judgments in attempting to reach an optimal solution. In order to deal with the fuzziness of decision makers' judgments in solutions, this paper proposes a fuzzy group decision-making method for multi-objective decision problems. The method allows group members to express their fuzzy preferences for decision objectives,...

An AHP-Delphi Multi-Criteria Decision Making Model with Application to Environmental Decision-Making

A Decision Support Framework to Assess Supply Chain Resilience

Our research is aimed at developing a quantitative approach for assessing supply chain resilience to disasters, a topic that has been discussed primarily in a qualitative manner in the literature. For this purpose, we propose a simulation-based framework that incorporates concepts of resilience into the process of supply chain design. In this context, resilience is defined as the ability of a s...
