This study aims to develop a Multi-Attribute Decision-Making (MADM) method, the Best-Worst Tradeoff which draws on underlying principles of two popular MADM methods (the Method (BWM) and Tradeoff). The traditional procedure, is based axiomatic foundation multi-attribute value theory, considers ranges attributes, but decision-makers/analysts find it hard check consistency paired comparisons when...

In wireless network applications, such as routing decision, selection, etc., the Multi-Attribute Decision Making (MADM) is widely used. The MADM approach can address multi-objective decision making issues effectively. However, when parameters vary greatly, traditional algorithm not effective anymore. To solve this problem, in paper, we propose pairwise-based algorithm. PMADM, only two nodes' ut...

Realising information technology (IT) decisions and implementations are consistently seen as major challenges of business management faced with increasingly complex IT environments. This article seeks to increase the awareness of the multiple attributive decision making methodology (MADM) in the context of enterprise resource planning (ERP) projects and provides empirical insights based on 209 ...

– Normalization procedures are required in multiattribute decision making (MADM) to transform performance ratings with different data measurement units in a decision matrix into a compatible unit. MADM methods generally use one particular normalization procedure without considering the suitability of other available procedures. This study compares four commonly known normalization procedures in...

The technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS) is a well-known multi-attribute decision making (MADM) method that is used to identify the most attractive alternative solution among a finite set of alternatives based on the simultaneous minimization of the distance from an ideal solution (IS) and the maximization of the distance from the nadir solution (NS). We propo...

The ongoing research in the field of decision-making can be analyzed from different perspectives. Research trends indicate that multi-attribute (MADM) methods have a significant impact on engineering and management scientific areas. Since many problems existing mentioned areas are associated with certain level uncertainty, type 2 fuzzy sets represent common solution for enhancement conventional...

OBJECTIVE To develop and validate a new instrument that assesses women's autonomy and role in decision making during maternity care. DESIGN Through a community-based participatory research process, service users designed, content validated, and administered a cross-sectional quantitative survey, including 31 items on the experience of decision-making. SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS Pregnancy expe...

introduction tourism is a process which has been existed with all its special forms from the ancient times so that the mental, cultural, social and economic demands of the human beings can be met. one of the growing branches of this industry is named as ecotourism. nowadays, tourism has become one of the main levers of economic and social development in many regions of the world. tourism in the...

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 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...
