چکیده

This article presents an integrated approach to reaching a robust decision in a full-scale multi-attribute decision problem inspired from a real-word case. The Hypothetical Equivalents and In-Equivalents Method (HEIM) is first validated using the full-scale decision problem. The major drawbacks of HEIM have been identified. In an attempt to eliminate the drawbacks of the HEIM, the Game Relative Importance Method (GRIM) is integrated into the method for a robust solution. The results obtained from the application of this integrated approach to the real-life decision problem have been presented. We conclude that the new approach presented yields good and efficient solutions with less computational time in comparison to applying only the HEIM.

Triangular Intuitionistic Fuzzy Triple Bonferroni Harmonic Mean Operators and Application to Multi-attribute Group Decision Making

As an special intuitionistic fuzzy set defined on the real number set, triangular intuitionistic fuzzy number (TIFN) is a fundamental tool for quantifying an ill-known quantity. In order to model the decision maker's overall preference with mandatory requirements, it is necessary to develop some Bonferroni harmonic mean operators for TIFNs which can be used to effectively intergrate the informa...

Applying an integrated fuzzy gray MCDM approach: A case study on mineral processing plant site selection

The accurate selection of a processing plant site can result in decreasing total mining cost. This problem can be solved by multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) methods. This research introduces a new approach by integrating fuzzy AHP and gray MCDM methods to solve all decision-making problems. The approach is applied in the case of a copper mine area. The critical criteria are considered adja...

An Evolutionary Algorithm Based on a Hybrid Multi-Attribute Decision Making Method for the Multi-Mode Multi-Skilled Resource-constrained Project Scheduling Problem

This paper addresses the multi-mode multi-skilled resource-constrained project scheduling problem. Activities of real world projects often require more than one skill to be accomplished. Besides, in many real-world situations, the resources are multi-skilled workforces. In presence of multi-skilled resources, it is required to determine the combination of workforces assigned to each activity. H...
