making an informed decision with regards to a suitable business location or site selection for organizations is becoming challenging for business decision makers globally; and even more challenging in business environment that are saddled with uncertainties. the continues raise of multiple criteria variation of site preferences has also necessitated the application of advanced decision making t...

Many multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) methods have been proposed to handle uncertain decision making problems. Most of them are based on fuzzy numbers and they are not able to cope with risk in decision making. In recent years, some MCDM methods based on prospect theory to handle risk MCDM problems have been developed. In this paper, we propose the Fuzzy TODIM for group decision making, so...

The fair profit distribution problem of a typical supply chain network involving batch production is considered in this article. To implement this concept, we construct a multi-product batch production combined with multi-stage distribution planning model to achieve multiple objectives such as maximizing the customer service level, maximizing the profit of each participant company of the supply...

At present, environmental issues become real critical barriers for many supply chain corporations concerning the sustainability of their businesses. In this context, several studies have been proposed from both academia and industry trying to develop new measurements related to green supply chain management (GSCM) practices to overcome these barriers, which will help create new environmental st...

When dealing with many-criteria decision making and many-objectives optimization problems the concepts of Pareto optimality and Pareto-dominance are inefficient in modelling and simulating human decision making. Different fuzzy-based definitions of optimality and dominated solution are introduced and tested on analytical test cases in order to show their validity and closeness to human decision...

we present a new model and a new approach for solving fuzzylinear programming (flp) problems with various utilities for the satisfactionof the fuzzy constraints. the model, constructed as a multi-objective linearprogramming problem, provides flexibility for the decision maker (dm), andallows for the assignment of distinct weights to the constraints and the objectivefunction. the desired solutio...

Hesitant fuzzy set is a very useful technique in the situations where there are some difficulties in determining the membership of an element to a set. Some aggregation methods have been developed for hesitant fuzzy information. Current aggregation methods are under the assumption that the criteria are at the same priority level. However, in real decision making problems, criteria have differen...

In fuzzy optimization it is desirable that all fuzzy solutions under consideration be attainable, so that the decision maker will be able to make ‘‘a posteriori’’ decisions according to current decision environments. No additional optimization runs will be needed when the decision environment changes or when the decision maker needs to evaluate several decisions to establish the most appropriat...

This article introduces a general framework of multi-granulation fuzzy probabilistic roughsets (MG-FPRSs) models in multi-granulation fuzzy probabilistic approximation space over twouniverses. Four types of MG-FPRSs are established, by the four different conditional probabilitiesof fuzzy event. For different constraints on parameters, we obtain four kinds of each type MG-FPRSs...
