Enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems are very costly and difficult to be implemented. Organizations need to be ready for implementing them. They require assessing their current readiness and then, they can perform a range of activities to improve their readiness. The ERP readiness is influenced by many factors which are interrelated and any improvement in one of them has direct and indire...

In order to safeguard the safety of passengers and reduce maintenance costs, it is necessary to analyze and evaluate the security risk of the Railway Signal System. However, the conventional Fuzzy Analytical Hierarchy Process (FAHP) can not describe the fuzziness and randomness of the judgment, accurately, and once the fuzzy sets are described using subjection degree function, the concept of fu...

This work seeks to provide a new multi-criteria approach to assess IT Governance (ITG) in the area of Strategic Alignment. The complete methodological development process is described. The evaluation model uses Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (FAHP) and it is targeted to IT processes, more specifically to the COBIT © IT maturity levels, domains and processes, thus providing a differentiated an...

Deep excavation construction safety has become a challenging and crucial aspect of modern infrastructure engineering, its risk assessment is frequently carried out using the Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (FAHP). However, when FAHP to evaluate risks deep construction, results weightings obtained through subjective weighting are heavily influenced by factors evaluators. In addition, linear ope...

This paper describes an application model that couples Analytical Hierarchy Process(AHP) and fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method , which named Fuzzy-AHP(FAHP). AHP has its own superiority in computing index weight and comparing index in the same row than at classifying level. While fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method is good at classifying level. Taking into account their respective advanta...

In today’s competitive environment evaluating firms’ performance properly, is an important issue not only for investors and creditors but also for the firms that are in the same sector. Determining the competitiveness of the firms and evaluating the financial performance of them is also crucial for the sector’s development. The aim of this study is developing a fuzzy model to evaluate the perfo...

This paper proposes a new method to address a three-dimensional concurrent engineering (3D-CE) approach. It uses a Multi-Objective Linear Programming (MOLP) model integrated to the TOPSIS method in order to determine the best configuration product design, assembly process and suppliers of components. This method is able to involve various supply chain strategies by considering qualitative and q...

Software Testing is a process used to help in improving quality and efficiency of a software product. In order to make the testing process less time consuming and efficient Automated Testing Tools are being used. The correct choice of an automated testing tool is a critical success factor for the developed product to reach and maintain market leadership. In the current paper a model for selecti...
