In this paper, a new hybrid fuzzy multiple criteria group decision making (FMCGDM) approach has been proposed for sustainable project selection. First, a comprehensive framework, including economic, social, and environmental effects of an investment, strategic alliance, organizational readiness, and risk of investment has been proposed for sustainable project selection. As the relative importan...

A new method for solving intuitionistic fuzzy multi-attribute decision making problem is proposed, in which the information of attribute weights is incompletely known. Considering much information about hesitancy and vagueness inherited to intuitionistic fuzzy sets, a new class of distance for describing the deviation degrees between intuitionistic fuzzy sets is introduced. Furthermore, the mea...

the objective of this article is to develop an empirically based framework for formulating and selecting a vendor in supply chain. this study applies the fuzzy set theory to evaluate the vendor selection decision. applying analytic hierarchy process (ahp) in obtaining criteria weights and applied technique for order performance by similarity to idea solution (topsis) for obtaining final ranking...

Due to the increasing competition of globalization, selection of the most appropriate supplier is one of the key factors for the success of a supply chain management. Due to conflicting evaluations and insufficient information about the criteria, Intuitionistic fuzzy sets (IFSs) are considered as an impressive tool and utilized to specify the relative importance of the criteria. The aim of this...

This paper presents a hybrid fuzzy multi criteria decision making model for z-numbers using intuitive vectorial centroid. There are two novelty discuss here: 1) development of intuitive vectorial centroid defuzzification and; 2) development of hybrid fuzzy multi criteria decision making model based on consistent fuzzy preference relations and fuzzy technique for order performance by similarity ...

Hesitant Fuzzy Set (HFS) permits the membership function having a collection of probable values which are more effective for modelling real-life problems. Multiple Attribute Decision Making (MADM) process apparently assesses multiple conflicting attribute in decision making. In traditional making problems, each player is moving independently whereas reality it seen that aims to maximize persona...

The aim of this study was to provide an analytical tool to evaluate and select the best supplier(s)/vendor(s) in fuzzy environment for Television (TV) manufacturing organization. A hierarchy through which decision makers can bring about a comparison among the suppliers was worked out and software for the same was developed. The methodology for selection was based upon multiple criteria decision...

This paper presents a hybrid neuro-fuzzy methodology to identify appropriate global logistics (GL) operational modes used for global supply chain management. The proposed methodological framework includes three main developmental phases: (1) establishment of a GL strategic hierarchy, (2) formulation of GL-mode identification rules, and (3) development of a GL-mode choice model. By integrating a...

In this paper, we investigate the multiple attribute decision making (MADM) problemsfor evaluating the archives websites’ performance with interval intuitionistic fuzzy information.Then,based on the TOPSIS method, calculation steps for solving MADM problems for evaluating thearchives websites’ performance with interval intuitionistic fuzzy information are given. The weightedHamming distances pr...
