Using the primitive cognitive network process for location analysis: comparisons with the analytic hierarchy process
نویسنده
چکیده
Location selection is an essential decision problem for many industrial domains such as hotel, tourism site, energy, school, warehouse, factory, stores, retails and estate. This paper proposes the Primitive Cognitive Network Process (P-CNP) for the location selection problem considering multiple criteria. An illustrated example of hospital site selection demonstrates the usability of the proposed approach, with discussion of comparisons with the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP).

The Analytic Network Process
Abstract The Analytic Network Process (ANP) is a generalization of the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). The basic structure is an influence network of clusters and nodes contained within the clusters. Priorities are established in the same way they are in the AHP using pairwise comparisons and judgment. Many decision problems cannot be structured hierarchically because they involve the inter...
متن کاملThe Applying ISM/FANP Approach for Appropriate Location Selection of Health Centers
The main purpose of this paper is to present a fuzzy multi-criteria decision making (FMADM) model for appropriate location selection of a health center. Therefore, we identify sixteen criteria and sub-criteria for selecting a health center location. These criteria and sub-criteria have been obtained from literature reviews and practical interviews. This paper proposes a method which combines th...
