With respect to the problems of aggregation about group experts’ information and dynamic decision in DEMATEL (decision making trial and evaluation laboratory), a dynamic DEMATEL group expert decision-making method on intuitionistic fuzzy number (IFN) is presented. Firstly using IFN instead of original point estimates to reflect the experts’ preference, the group experts’ information are integra...

This paper presents an integrated ANP and DEMATEL technique applied to identify and prioritize Six Sigma projects for healthcare companies. identify the most representative Six Sigma projects and their priority. First, the Six Sigma evaluation structure is determined; then DEMATEL (Decision Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory) is applied to calculate interrelations among healthcare criteria....

The study applied Decision Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL) to analyze the casual relationship and mutual impact level between the control items of the information security management system. Three core control items of the information security management system are found, Security Policy (SC1), Access Control (SC7) and Human Resources Security (SC4) respectively. They can be pr...

Failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) is an analysis tool for identifying and preventing flaws or defects in products during the design and process planning stage, preventing the repeated occurrence of problems, reducing the effects of these problems, enhancing product quality and reliability, saving costs, and improving competitiveness. However, FMEA can only analyze one influence factor ac...

The fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (fuzzy AHP) and fuzzy decision making trial and evaluation laboratory (fuzzy DEMATEL) have been used to obtain weights for criteria and relationships among dimensions and criteria respectively. The twomethods could be integrated since it serves different purposes. Previous research suggested that the weights of criteria and the relationships among dimensions...

This study demonstrates how a decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL) threshold value can be quickly and reasonably determined in the process of combining DEMATEL and decomposed theory of planned behavior (DTPB) models. Models are combined to identify the key factors of a complex problem. This paper presents a case study of a food and beverage information system as an example....

Financial supervision means that monetary authorities have the power to supervise and manage financial institutions according to laws. Monetary authorities have this power because of the requirements of improving financial services, protecting the rights of depositors, adapting to industrial development, ensuring financial fair trade, and maintaining stable financial order. To establish evaluat...

Supplier selection is considered as one of the most critical issues encountered by operations and purchasing managers to sharpen the company’s competitive advantage. In this paper, a novel fuzzy multi-criteria group decision making approach integrating quality function deployment (QFD) and decision making trial and evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL) method is proposed for supplier selection. The p...
