Abstract:

Risk response planning is one of the main phases in the project risk management and has major impacts on the success of a large-scale project. Since projects are unique, and risks are dynamic through the life of the projects, it is necessary to formulate responses of the important risks. The conventional approaches tend to be less effective in dealing with the impreciseness of risk response planning. This paper presents a new decision-making methodology in a fuzzy environment to evaluate and select the appropriate responses for project risks. To this end, two fuzzy well-known decision-making techniques, namely, decision tree and TOPSIS (technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution), are extended based on multiple selected criteria, simplifying parameterized metric distance and fuzzy similarity measure. Finally, a case study in an oil and gas project in Iran is provided to show the suitability of the proposed fuzzy methodology in large-scale practical situations.

Interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy aggregation methodology for decision making with a prioritization of criteria

Interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy sets (IVIFSs), a generalization of fuzzy sets, is characterized by an interval-valued membership function, an interval-valued non-membership function.The objective of this paper is to deal with criteria aggregation problems using IVIFSs where there exists a prioritization relationship over the criteria.Based on the ${L}$ukasiewicz triangular norm, we first p...

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...

A Compromise Decision-making Model for Multi-objective Large-scale Programming Problems with a Block Angular Structure under Uncertainty

This paper proposes a compromise model, based on the technique for order preference through similarity ideal solution (TOPSIS) methodology, to solve the multi-objective large-scale linear programming (MOLSLP) problems with block angular structure involving fuzzy parameters. The problem involves fuzzy parameters in the objective functions and constraints. This compromise programming method is ba...
