Knowledge management in higher education is a set of organizational processes that support creating and transferring the knowledge in these institutions and allows for achieving organizational and university objectives. Therefore, for the proper management of organizational knowledge, appropriate tools are needed to be able to be aware of the effectiveness of knowledge management in organizatio...

Limited business resources and a fierce market competition require quality management which considers stakeholders’ needs. For every production company important stakeholders are suppliers of components embedded in the final product. The selection of suppliers of product components plays a very important role in the realization of the production process. Supplier selection is a multi-criteria d...

these days, limited energy resources, and also the cost of investment in new and renewable energy is very costly and uneconomical. in the industrial sector, especially energy-intensive industries such as steel, finding appropriate solutions to update the technology, production and reduce energy consumption in this sector is very important. the main aim of this study is the identification and ra...

This paper conducts a comparison analysis of some of the most common defuzzification techniques which helps rank fuzzy weights calculated from fuzzy comparison matrices through Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process. Ranking of weights calculated through FAHP algorithms is of critical importance as it directly effects the decision making process. More so ranking of fuzzy numbers is also important in ...

A systematic study of the optional maintenance strategies of the Transformer is conducted and a set of general factors which should be considered in the maintenance strategies is established. A Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (FAHP) based on the goal programming is proposed in view of the defects of the traditional Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (FAHP), and the specific application process o...

in this paper a fuzzy analytical network process model for supporting the vendor selection process in strategic situations is suggested. first, the vendor evaluation problem is putting together by use of the multi-criteria decision-making (mcdm) approach and a five-step hybrid process, which incorporates the technique of fuzzy analytical network process. then the modified topsis (technique for ...

This paper proposes a new method for finding fuzzy weights in the fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (FAHP), which fuzzifies the derived formulation of an eigenvector directly. The presented formulation only needs information about the upper triangular matrix and the assumption about the reciprocal matrix is not necessary. This characteristic makes the FAHP feasible because the property of recipr...
