MCMD problems with fuzzy preference information on alternatives are essential problems of the importance of weighting and ranking. In this study, the AHP method is reviewed, and then Fuzzy PreRa and incomplete linguistic preference relations methods are elucidated. This study applied above three MCDM methods to a software selection problem proposed by Lai et al. [Software selection: a case stud...

This paper presents a new approach for the treatment of uncertainty which is based on interval rough numbers (IRN). IRN based approach uses only internal knowledge i.e. operational data without relying on assumption models. In other words, instead of various additional/external parameters, IRN uses only the structure of the existing data. Based on the IRN there has been developed a novel IRAHP ...

AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) has been widely used in decision making techniques. However, the results from AHP often lose reliability because the comparison matrix does not always have sufficient consistency. In these cases, fuzzy representation for weighting activities using results from a sensitivity analysis is useful. In this paper, we present alternative overall weights by employing so...

In looking for different types of large-scale activities of food sanitation supervision and security modes, improving the efficiency of food hygiene protection, this paper establishes the evaluation index system for sports food hygiene, and proposed the sports food hygiene evaluation model based on the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and the interval fuzzy TOPSIS method. AHP is used to determi...

With the development of society, high-level applied students have been an urgent demand and the quality of entrepreneurial education of postgraduate has attracted more and more attention. Based on the requirements of universities society and enterprise for the comprehensive ability of postgraduate, we proposed the evaluation index system and used AHP-fuzzy comprehensive evaluation approach, whi...

This study was carried out to evaluate the capability of a combined fuzzy-analytic hierarchy process (AHP) method for soil fertility evaluation of common bean in Shiraz, Iran. A set of membership functions was constructed to represent the soil fertility classes, which were derived from 50 field samples collected through a purposive sampling approach. Seven soil parameters including phosphorus (...

Large corporations may be composed of multiple strategic business units (SBUs), each of which is responsible for its own profitability. Innovation performance management of SBUs boosts corporation business results. In the present work, SBU ranking based on innovation performance was addressed. The contribution of the proposed model was threefold: (1) it proposed a fuzzy analytic hierarchy proce...

A fuzzy decision analysis method for integrating ecological indicators was developed. This was a combination of a fuzzy ranking method and the analytic hierarchy process (AHP). The method was capable of ranking ecosystems in terms of environmental conditions and suggesting cumulative impacts across a large region. Using data on land cover, population, roads, streams, air pollution, and topograp...

As international corporate activities increase, their staffing involves more strategic concerns. However, foreign assignments have many differences, and dissatisfaction with the host country is a known cause of expatriate failure. From the point of view of an expatriate candidate, the decision of whether to take an expatriate assignment can be regarded as a FMCDM (fuzzy multiple criteria decisi...
