Application of the FTOPSIS ranking method to an industrial facility location problem

چکیده
Industrial location problems belong to the scope of multicriteria decision making (MCDM) given the high number of attributes to be considered in its planning and analysis. This work deals with a problem with four potential sites and five influential subjective criteria. A panel of experts related to the problem makes a fuzzy valuation of these attributes allowing to capture the uncertainty inherent in the subjectivity of such assessments-. Similarly, using the AHP method, experts provide with compared importance ratings from pairs of these attributes, facilitating the calculation of their global weights of importance. Finally, the implementation of the FTOPSIS method, produces the ranking of the potential sites for the location problem.

Hierarchical Group Compromise Ranking Methodology Based on Euclidean–Hausdorff Distance Measure Under Uncertainty: An Application to Facility Location Selection Problem
Proposing a hierarchical group compromise method can be regarded as a one of major multi-attributes decision-making tool that can be introduced to rank the possible alternatives among conflict criteria. Decision makers’ (DMs’) judgments are considered as imprecise or fuzzy in complex and hesitant situations. In the group decision making, an aggregation of DMs’ judgments and fuzzy group compromi...

In this study, we discuss the capacitated facility location-allocation problem with uncertain parameters in which the uncertainty is characterized by given finite numbers of scenarios. In this model, the objective function minimizes the total expected costs of transportation and opening facilities subject to the robustness constraint. To tackle the problem efficiently and effectively, an effici...
متن کاملA hybrid DEA-based K-means and invasive weed optimization for facility location problem
In this paper, instead of the classical approach to the multi-criteria location selection problem, a new approach was presented based on selecting a portfolio of locations. First, the indices affecting the selection of maintenance stations were collected. The K-means model was used for clustering the maintenance stations. The optimal number of clusters was calculated through the Silhou...
