Species selection based on a new method such as a fuzzy method is one of the most important stages in the successful plantation management planning as choosing a suitable species for the site can be the key to success. This paper is based on a fuzzy extension of the Technique or Order Preference which is similar to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) method. The purpose of this paper is to develop fuzzy TO...

<span lang="EN-US">This paper proposes a method to rank the loads in microgrid by means of weight that combines criteria together terms both technical and economic aspects. The fuzzy analytic hierarchy process technique for order preference similarity ideal solution (fuzzy AHP TOPSIS) algorithm is used calculate this combined weight. be considered are load importance factor (LIF), voltage...

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...

Globalization of business and the competitiveness of manufacturing have motivated companies to improve the facilities to respond to the market requirements. Machine tool selection plays a major role in the improvement of productivity, flexibility in uncertain manufacturing. The objective of this study is to present the simple approach for machine tool selection based on the integration of consi...

This study aims to develop a new procedure that combines multi-criteria spatial vulnerability analysis with the traditional linear probabilistic risk approach. This approach is named integrated fuzzy flood vulnerability assessment because it combines the watershed-based vulnerability framework with stream-based risk analysis. The Delphi technique and pressure-state-impact-response framework are...

Safety culture plays an important role in the prevention of accident. Positive safety culture can effectively improve worker’s safety conscious and reduce the accident rate. This paper is aimed to present a fuzzy decision making method for objectively evaluating enterprise safety culture construction level. Based on evaluation indicators of safety culture construction level, combination weighti...

Evaluation of business intelligence for enterprise systems before buying and deploying them is of vital importance to create decision support environment for managers in organizations. This study aims to propose a new model to provide a simple approach to assess enterprise systems in business intelligence aspects. This approach also helps the decision-maker to select the enterprise system which...

This paper proposes an integrated methodology and its solution for supplier selection problem. A twostage stochastic programming model and fuzzy TOPSIS methods are consolidated in this methodology. After pre-research phase, in the second part of the methodology, fuzzy TOPSIS is used for ranking potential suppliers considering qualitative data under fuzzy environment. In the third part of the me...
