The following study focuses on the evaluation of a multi criteria decision problem by use of fuzzy logic. We will demonstrate the methodological considerations concerning group decision and fuzziness on the basis of a specific problem: the search for energy alternatives and a proper evaluation of these alternatives (in comparison to existing ones). This issue will be of increasing importance wi...

This study uses the fuzzy analytical hierarchy process (FAHP) method to prioritize contracting methods determine most suitable contract option for water and wastewater projects (WWP). Content analysis, a two-round Delphi survey technique, series of validation reliability tests helped establish 18 key criteria FAHP analysis. Consequently, data collected from experts through pairwise comparison q...

The multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) problem has a solution whose quality can be affected by the experts’ inclinations. Under essential conditions, fuzzy MCDM method provide more acceptable and efficient outcomes to select best alternatives. This work consists of consensus-based technique for selecting evaluating suppliers in an incomplete preference relations (IFPRs) environment utilizing...

The violate organic compounds (VOCs) emission from co-processing cement kiln has not been comprehensively investigated and evaluated. In this study, we sampled determined the VOCs emitted a typical in Beijing, China. characteristics, ozone formation potential (OFP), main odor components for gas were analyzed. Additionally, Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (F-AHP) was innovatively applied to est...

Chou et al. (Applied Soft Computing 12 (2012) 64-71) used combination of fuzzy AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) and fuzzy DEMATEL (Decision Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory) in human resource for science and technology (HRST). For applying the fuzzy DEMATEL method there is a need to find the multiplicative inverse of a fuzzy matrix. In this paper, it is pointed out that the method, used b...

This paper presents an effective decision making framework for software selection in manufacturing industries using a multiple criteria decision making method, Preference Ranking Organization Method for Enrichment Evaluations (PROMETHEE). The method is improved in the present work by integrating with analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and the fuzzy logic. Fuzzy logic is introduced to handle the i...

Groundwater is important when there an insufficient spring water supply for daily needs. The population growth and expansion of the cities demand more water. Thimphu capital city Bhutan facing shortage in recent times due to urban growth. This study aims find potential area groundwater using Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process. factors used this are elevation, slope, curvature, topographic wetness...

Planning is a continuous process and must incorporate regular evaluation of implementation further revision for effective efficient utility the betterment society through modification planning standards. Development plans cities / towns are criticized being rigid static, having little regard investment efforts, taking very long time in formulation approval. In depth analysis review existing sit...
