In this study, we evaluated the effects of the normalization procedures on decision outcomes of a givenMADMmethod. For this aim, using theweights of a number of attributes calculated from FAHP method, we applied TOPSIS method to evaluate the financial performances of 13 Turkish deposit banks. In doing this, we used the most popular four normalization procedures. Our study revealed that vector n...

This study reports on the performance assessment of the Asian airlines using TOPSIS – a multi-criteria decision making technique – as the cornerstone method to compute efficiency scores. Subsequently, and observing indicators frequently found in literature, TOPSIS results on efficiency levels are combined with GLMM-MCMC methods to assess the impact of contextual variables on performance. The re...

In this paper, we extend TOPSIS (Technique for Order Preference by Similarity Ideal Solution) for solving Large Scale Multiple Objective Programming problems involving fuzzy parameters. These fuzzy parameters are characterized as fuzzy numbers. For such problems, the α-Pareto optimality is introduced by extending the ordinary Pareto optimality on the basis of the α-Level sets of fuzzy numbers. ...

One of the most important factors in quality improvement of transportation, communication, accommodation, utilities, etc is urban infrastructures development. Certainly, with the intention of achieving the goal, approaches to urban infrastructures management must be ranked by Scientific and logical evaluation and calculation. This paper presents evaluation of governmental, private, and public–p...

The Evaluation of eCRM implementation in most of organizations will witness an increase in efficiency, staff satisfaction, and eventually customer satisfaction. The objective of this paper is to apply and compare the analytic hierarchy process (AHP), Fuzzy AHP and Fuzzy Topsis methods to evaluate the Parsian banks’ readiness in ECRM implementation. Primary data have been collected by means of q...

Selection of an appropriate Multiple Attribute Decision Making (MADM) method for providing a solution to given MADM problem is always challenging endeavour. The challenge even greater situations where specific there exist multiple methods with similar degree suitability. Technique Order Preference by Similarity Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) and its dominant variant the Modified TOPSIS are two very ap...

With the wide spread popularity of social networking sites (SNS), enterprise organizations have started to explore the business opportunities in SNS such as Facebook to conduct targeted marketing and reputation management. Customers or users tend to trust the opinion of other customers or users, especially those with prior experience of a product or service, rather than company marketing. One o...

The increasing rate of technology growth has resulted in decrease in cost of information. These technologies are helpful in coordinating the activities resulting in effective management of the supply chain. Literature shows that the use of Information Technology (IT) plays an important role in managing the processes of SCM. This has resulted in increasing use of IT in SCM. The computerization o...

This paper extended TOPSIS (Technique for Order Preference by Similarity Ideal Solution) method for solving Two-Level Large Scale Linear Multiobjective Optimization Problems with Stochastic Parameters in the righthand side of the constraints (TL-LSLMOP-SP)rhs of block angular structure. In order to obtain a compromise ( satisfactory) solution to the (TL-LSLMOP-SP)rhs of block angular structure ...

Due to an increased awareness and significant environmental pressures from various stakeholders, companies have begun to realize the significance of incorporating green practices into their daily activities. This paper proposes a framework using Fuzzy TOPSIS to select green suppliers for a Brazilian electronics company; our framework is built on the criteria of green supply chain management (GS...
