Grey theory, VIKOR and TOPSIS Approaches

author

Abstract:

Abstract This author introduces the concept of Stepwise Strategy Approach (SSA) for dealing with a number of problems arises in the current age of technology. This new idea is combined with the knowledge of Grey Theory for adding flexibility to decision making process. Grey theory is useful for grasping the ambiguity exists in the utilized information and the fuzziness appears in the human judgments and preferences. This article is a very useful source of information for Fuzzy Grey and decision making using more than one decision makers in fuzzy environment. A case study on system selection comprised of 12 attributes and 4 alternatives is constructed and solved by the proposed method and the results are analyzed. For the validation of the results obtained by the Grey theory, the fuzzy VIKOR and Fuzzy TOPSIS were employed for computational purposes. The results of these three approaches on the proposed case study are closely related. Due to the fact that this author proposes the “Stepwise Strategy” approach for implementing a new technology in industries, where already the management of an older compatible type of technology is in existence, along with the grey theory concept and data whitenization approach, its contribution to the literature of operations research is highly recognizable.

Compromise solution by MCDM methods: A comparative analysis of VIKOR and TOPSIS

The multiple criteria decision making (MCDM) methods VIKOR and TOPSIS are based on an aggregating function representing ‘‘closeness to the ideal’’, which originated in the compromise programming method. In VIKOR linear normalization and in TOPSIS vector normalization is used to eliminate the units of criterion functions. The VIKOR method of compromise ranking determines a compromise solution, p...

Application of SMART, TOPSIS, and VIKOR Systems in Joint Admission Control

Joint Admission Control (JAC) handles the admis-sion of all new or handoff service requests in the mod-ern heterogeneous networks and allocates the required resources and guarantees the QoS constraints for the service. JAC is a multicriteria problem in nature, and the usage of MCDM system is mandatory to decrease the influence of the dissimilar, imprecise, and contra-dictory measurements for th...
