The evaluation of quality of the railway passenger service is an important way to know the quality of the railway passenger service. This paper firstly constructs an evaluation indicator system of the quality of the railway passenger service on the foundation of the related literatures, and constructs the multiple-attribute evaluation matrix and indicator weight vector based on the linguistic v...

Measuring and assessing the degree of technological readiness at macro level is crucial in guiding overall development for countries. The problem multi-criteria nature, involving assessment consolidation over multiple dimensions. This study develops a composite index to measure basic maturity from supply chain integration perspective utilizes decision-making method PROMETHEE obtain ranking amon...

Methods of multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) from operations research have been applied to provide information for long-term decisions in the energy sector, and policy. For example, sustainability evaluations, multiple conflicting criteria can be considered. While most MCDM approaches evaluate systems a single period, evaluation system evolution over time has received less attention. To suc...

For most decision making problems, finding representative parameters of a decision maker’s preferences remains a challenging task. We here adapt to the Promethee II outranking method an eliciting procedure named Q-Eval that has been developed in the context of multi-attribute utility. It refines the estimation of the preference parameters by iteratively querying the DM through pairwise action c...

Supplier selection is a multi-Criteria problem. This study proposes a hybrid model for supporting the suppliers’ selection and ranking. This research is a two-stage model designed to fully rank the suppliers where each supplier has multiple Inputs and Outputs. First, the supplier evaluation problem is formulated by Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA), since the regarded decision deals with uncertai...

In this study, an outsourcer evaluation and management system is developed for a manufacturing company by use of Fuzzy goal programming (FGP). A first phase of the methodology evaluation criteria for outsources and the objectives of the company are determined. Considering the fuzziness in the decision data, linguistic variables that can be expressed in generalized fuzzy number are used. The pro...

This study investigated the generation and management of demolition waste (DW) in Cyprus. A methodology has been developed and applied for the estimation of the quantities of the waste stream under examination, since quantitative primary data were not available. The existing situation relating to the practices applied for the management of DW was investigated and assessed. Furthermore, a multi-...

Membrane with a type module has been expressed one of the key area of interest in dairy industry. Although recent publications have given a chance academics and practitioners to prove successful applications of membrane processes to the vast areas; a small number of publications have been devoted attention to the problem of capital equipment decision-making. To facilitate decision-making proces...
