Environmental impact assessment (EIA) is the assessment of the possible impact that a proposed plan or project may have on the environment, together consisting of the natural, social and economic aspects. The aim of this paper is to propose an environmental impact assessment methodology based on an integrated fuzzy AHP–ELECTRE approach in the context of urban industrial planning. In the propose...

Screening weapon-systems is a critical task in determining whether a systems development effort will be successful and eventually provide the increased war fighting capability the user had originally envisioned. Weapon system selection is a multi-criteria decision problem that must be accomplished within a constrained resource environment. Several alternatives must be considered and evaluated i...

There are several methods for Multi Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) such as multiple attribute utility theory (MAUT), the analytical hierarchy process (AHP), and Fuzzy AHP. However, these methods are compensatory optimization approaches for which bad score on some criteria can be compensated by excellent scores on other criteria. So, the Elimination and Choice Translating Reality III (ELECTRE I...

One of the key challenges in software testing today is prioritizing and evaluating test cases. The decision of which test cases to design, select and execute first is of great importance, in particular considering that this needs to be done within tight resource constraints on time and budget. In practice, prioritized selection of test cases requires the evaluation of different test case criter...

Original scientific paper Recently companies have begun to use their storage effectively to attain leadership in the market environment, utilizing Barcode and RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) systems for warehouse management. In this study AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) and FAHP (Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process) are used to choose between Barcode and RFID systems for the company warehou...

To promote the development of electric vehicles (EVs), many charging stations have been built. The construction of charging stations costs a lot, hence it’s necessary to evaluate their energy efficiency due to their main aims of energy conservation. In this paper, a fuzzy model based on the fuzzy comprehensive evaluation (FCE) and analytic hierarchy process (AHP) is presented to evaluate the en...

This study presents a new early warning evaluating method and decision mechanism for urban emergency in which the risk factors are assessed by fuzzy numbers. By using the fuzzy preference relation matrix and the extended fuzzy AHP, the relative weight of each risk factor can be estimated. Then we evaluate the total fuzzy risk value by aggregating the severity of loss of risk factor and the rela...

The Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is widely used by decision makers and researchers. The definition of criteria and the calculation of their weight are central in this method to assess the alternatives. However, there are few studies that focus on them. The purpose of this study is to develop a systematic review of literature on the real cases that applied AHP to evaluate how the criteria ar...

here, we propose a fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (fahp) method to evaluate the alternatives of enterprise resource planning (erp) system. the fuzzy ahp approach allows the users get values more accurately to model the vagueness which changes according subjective ideas in the decision-making environment for erp system selection problem. therefore, fuzzy ahp method is used to obtain firm decis...

The study adopted the method of Herrera-Viedma et al.,(2004): consistent fuzzy preference relations (Fuzzy PreRa) to apply the questionnaire which Zhilin Yang et al.(2005) developed. The result shows that the most important of the five-dimension is “Usability” and the most important of the nineteen items is “Relevant information to the customer”. Compared to the traditional AHP method, Fuzzy Pr...
