Multi-criteria decision making is a sub discipline of operations research that explicitly considers multiple criteria in decision making problems. Several methods have been proposed for solving multicriteria decision making problems (MCDM). The weighted sum method (WSM) is the best known and simplest multi-criteria decision making method for evaluating a number of alternatives in terms of a num...

New energy storage alternative selection is a hot research issue that involves multiple-criteria decision-making process. In view of the existing deficiencies of multiple-criteria decision-making methods, an optimized method of PROMETHEE was proposed based on interval neutrosophic sets that has the advantage in describing fuzzy decision-making information. Robustness evaluation was conducted to...

considering the major change occurred in business cells from plant to “chain” and the critical need to choose the best partners to form the supply chain for competing in today’s business setting, one of the vital decisions made at the early steps of constructing a business is supplier selection. given the fact that the early decisions are inherently strategic and therefore hard and costly to ch...

In this paper, the notion of a fuzzy vector of normalized weights is introduced, and its application in decision making models based on the weighted average operation is studied. The fuzzy vector of normalized weights represents a generalization of normalized fuzzy weights that authors formerly applied for modeling uncertain weights of criteria and/or uncertain probabilities of states of the wo...

Abstract While there is a plethora of literature on IT Sourcing (ITS) strategy, little known about the impact large-scale agile frameworks these strategies. Empirical evidence suggests that application has an governance and processes in large organisations including ITS Yet, effects such remain unrevealed. This research investigates decisions way configure their The first studies to realise lac...

in recent decade, several methodologies and tools have been developed to undertake a risk analysis in order to prevent accidents in the process industries. attempts have been made to study and compare these methods. however, yet no method has been proposed to aid managers in a scientific selection of a proper risk analysis method. in this paper, we have presented a multi criteria decision makin...

Most decision making methods used to evaluate a system or demonstrate the weak and strength points are based on fuzzy sets and evaluate the criteria with words that are modeled with fuzzy sets. The ambiguity and vagueness of the words and different perceptions of a word are not considered in these methods. For this reason, the decision making methods that consider the perceptions of decision...
