In this paper, we investigate the uncertain linguistic multiple attribute decision making problems to deal with the supplier selection in supply chain management with incompletely known weights information. We developed a multiple attribute decision making method to select supplier in uncertain linguistic setting, by which the attribute weights can be determined. We utilize the uncertain lingui...

Gray target decision making is one method of gray systematic theory for solving multiple attribute decision making problem. The weight definite method of the index in the present researches on gray target decision making is monotonous, it does not accord with the actual conditions; From the point of view of mathematical statistics in addition, the true weight coefficient of every index is a ran...

The layout design problem is a strategic issue and has a significant impact on the efficiency of a manufacturing system. Much of the existing layout design literature that uses a surrogate function for flow distance or for simplified objectives may be entrapped into local optimum; and subsequently lead to a poor layout design due to the multiple-attribute decision making (MADM) nature of a layo...
