The paper proposes an evaluation model based on fuzzy AHP to help users select CAS that best matches their requirements. The subjectiveness and imprecision of the evaluation process are modeled using linguistic terms. The evaluation criteria framework based on the usability and problem solving capability of CAS is developed. Fuzzy (AHP) is employed to determine the relative importance weights o...

To solve the uncertainty and complexity problems in hazardous chemical storage risk assessment, this paper constructs the evaluation index system and proposed the risk assessment model based on AHP-fuzzy comprehensive evaluation approach, which organically integrate the quantitative and the objectively of the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and the inclusive advantage of fuzzy comprehensive ev...

The Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) idealistically assumes the independence of the criteria which are often interrelated, conflicting or can be traded-off. It is, therefore, proposed that AHP could be extended by applying fuzzy logic to adequately incorporate the different relationships that may exist among the criteria. It is shown that the conventional and consistent fuzzy approaches could...

This paper presents an effective decision making framework for software selection in manufacturing industries using a multiple criteria decision making method, Preference Ranking Organization Method for Enrichment Evaluations (PROMETHEE). The method is improved in the present work by integrating with analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and the fuzzy logic. Fuzzy logic is introduced to handle the i...

Abstract The research in this paper aims to set up a new consumer profile definition method based on fuzzy technology and AHP. result of the study could be applied garment recommendation systems for special consumer. Consumer profiles are chosen as objects. AHP research, which provide using define profiles. We tall–short fat–thin by weights methods. building that can used consumer-oriented inte...

This paper develops an integrated approach, combining quality function deployment (QFD), fuzzy set theory, and analytic hierarchy process (AHP) approach, to evaluate and select the optimal third-party logistics service providers (3PLs). In the approach, multiple evaluating criteria are derived from the requirements of company stakeholders using a series of house of quality (HOQ). The importance...

In a recent paper in this journal Kuo, Chi and Kao [R.J. Kuo, S.C. Chi, S.S. Kao, A decision support system for selecting convenience store location through integration of fuzzy AHP and artificial neural network, Computers in Industry 47 (2002) 199–214] suggest an integrated fuzzy AHP and artificial neural network approach for locating a new convenience store. In this note we correct an error i...

The inconsistency of judgments in the fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is a crucial issue. To make the appropriate decision, the inconsistency in decision maker's (DM) judgments needs to be eliminated or reduced. This paper proposes two mathematical models to deal with inconsistency in Fuzzy AHP. In the first model, the DM's judgments are modified where the preference order of the DM's ju...

CDIO engineering education mode is the successful model of the reformation of engineering education. According to the training objectives and curriculum system of water supply & drainage, evaluation index system is proposed based on CDIO standard. The weight of each evaluation factor is calculated by analytic hierarchy process (AHP). The evaluation model is established based on multi-level fuzz...

Data envelopment analysis (DEA) has been widely applied in evaluating multicriteria decision making problems, which have multi-input and multi-output. However, the traditional DEA method does neither take the decision maker’s subjective preferences to the individual criteria into consideration nor rank the selected options or decision making units (DMUs). On the other hand, Satty’s analytical h...
