The problem of selecting 3PL (Third Party Logistics) suppliers is a major issue in the management supply chain and improvement production manufacturing company. A supplier can be defined as company that provides contract logistics services to manufacturer, or main user product service. It called third party because provider does not own products but participates between manufacturer given produ...

In this study, we propose a novel mobile tracking scheme which utilizes the fuzzy-based decision making with the consideration of the information such as previous location, moving direction and distance to the base station as well as received signal strength, thereby resulting to the estimation performance even much better than the previous schemes. Our scheme divides a cell into many blocks ba...

Intuitionistic fuzzy set, which can be represented using the triangular intuitionistic fuzzy number (TIFN), is a more generalized platform for expressing imprecise, incomplete and inconsistent information when solving multi-criteria decision-making problems, as well as for reflecting the evaluation information exactly in different dimensions. In this paper, the TIFN has been applied for solving...

The Fuzzy Analytic Network Process (ANP) is generally used for solving multicriteria decision making (MCDM) problems by considering the pairwise comparison between criteria/sub-criteria, and inner/outer dependencies among criteria. Linguistic expressions are used for experts’ judgements, and these judgements are imprecise and vague. Hence, incorporating fuzziness with multi-criteria decision ma...

Manufacturing flexibility is the ability of the system to adapt to changes. Manufacturing flexibility is a difficult to quant ify concept. To assist managers in better achieving a flexible enterprise, a model on the basis of fuzzy logic is purposed to provide a means of measuring how flexible an enterprise is. In this approach, the performance ratings and importance weights of different flexibi...

In this paper, we introduce the notion of multicriteria lotteries. The interest of this lies in the fact that decision under uncertainty and multicriteria decision making are formally equivalent when the set of states of the world is nite in the uncertainty framework. Using this analogy, together with an extension of the Anscombe-Aumann representation theorem to the non-additive case due to Wak...
