Abstract:

Decision making is an important issue in business and project management that assists finding the optimal alternative from a number of feasible alternatives. Decision making requires adequate consideration of uncertainty in projects. In this paper, in order to address uncertainty of project environments, interval type-2 fuzzy sets (IT2FSs) are used. In other words, the rating of each alternative and weight of each criterion are expressed by IT2FSs. Moreover, for obtaining weights of criteria, interval type-2 fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (AHP) method is employed. In addition, a new enhanced model of multi-objective optimization on the basis of simple ratio analysis (MOOSRA) method is developed with IT2F-relative preference relation. Finally, to illustrate applicability of the introduced approach, an existing application from literature is adopted and solved.

A New Objective Weight on Interval Type-2 Fuzzy Sets

The design of weight is one of the important parts in fuzzy decision making, as it would have a deep effect on the evaluation results. Entropy is one of the weight measure based on objective evaluation. Non--probabilistic-type entropy measures for fuzzy set and interval type-2 fuzzy sets (IT2FS) have been developed and applied to weight measure. Since the entropy for (IT2FS) for decision making...

A new solving approach for fuzzy multi-objective programming problem in uncertainty conditions by ‎using semi-infinite linear programing

In practice, there are many problems which decision parameters are fuzzy numbers, and some kind of this problems are formulated as either possibilitic programming or multi-objective programming methods. In this paper, we consider a multi-objective programming problem with fuzzy data in constraints and introduce a new approach for solving these problems base on a combination of the multi-objecti...

Fuzzy Critical Path Problem for Project Network

The task of finding the crisp critical path has received researcher’s attention over the past two decades which has wide range of applications in planning and scheduling the large projects. In most cases of our life, the data obtained for decision makers are only approximate, which gives rise to fuzzy critical path problem. In this paper, new ranking methods are introduced to identify the fuzzy...
