In recent years, the problem of selecting and evaluating the suppliers in supply chain management has aroused considerable interest in business firms. Owing to the development of information systems, reaching an appropriate decision for adopting discrete methods is a need. The researchers intend to present a new model in this paper as a contributing factor in the grey environment in which the r...

Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate and analyze the ergonomic behaviors order to select the best work shift group in an Iranian petrochemical Company, in 2010. Methods: The methodology was based on the Ergonomic Behavior Sampling (EBS), and performed using ELECTRE method. In this study 1147 behaviors were observed. Results: The results indicated that 43.6% of workers’ behaviors were ...

this paper applies a new multi attribute decision-making (madm) model to help companies for enterprise resource planning (erp) selection problem based on balanced score card method. this paper uses three-parameter interval grey numbers which is derived from grey theory (was proposed by j. deng). this numbers is used instead of linguistic variables. beside, a new weighting method that outcomes f...

The former method starts by numerically estimating the adequacy and the inadequacy (with respect to the initial data) ofeach statement "the alternative i appears in on aggregate hierarchy on the j-th place* and constructs a preorder which maximizes the ratio of total sum of adequacy values by the total sum of inadequacy values for the associated hierarchy. The latter method involves usual conco...

Trustworthy software evaluation is taken as the multi-criteria decision aiding process in this paper. The use of ELECTRE TRI method for evaluating software trustworthiness is presented. Software under evaluation is compared with some predefined norms and is assigned to one of trust levels. The entire evaluating process is described, including definition of problem situation and formulation, det...

This paper presents a new fuzzy multicriteria classi®cation method, called PROAFTN, for assigning alternatives to prede®ned categories. This method belongs to the class of supervised learning algorithms and enables to determine the fuzzy indi€erence relations by generalising the indices (concordance and discordance) used in the ELECTRE III method. Then, it assigns the fuzzy belonging degree of ...
