In this paper, we develop an interactive method for multiple attribute group decision making under fuzzy environment. The method can be used in situations where the information about attribute weights is partly known, the weights of decision makers are expressed in exact numerical values or triangular fuzzy numbers, and the attribute values are triangular fuzzy numbers. The method transforms fu...

Evaluating and selecting the right contractors can increase the chances of success of a project and the organization. Considering the intense competition faced by organizations today, proper cost management to enhance profitability and customer satisfaction has attracted a lot of attention. The evaluation of contractors is usually a process thatis based on various criteria.By the end of it, the...

this paper presents a multi-attribute decision-making model to rank and select the best zones of the city of tehran in order to add new emergency services. the purpose of this decision-making problem is to prioritize the zones having a higher need to emergency services, so that the emergency services to people in different zones get optimized. a multi-criteria decision making model is presented...

Nowadays, interval comparison matrices (ICM) take an important role in decision making under uncertainty. So it seems that a brief review on solution methods used in ICM should be useful. In this paper, the common methods are divided into four categories that are Goal Programming Method (GPM), Linear Programming Method (LPM), Non-Linear Programming Method (NLPM) and Statistic Analysis (SA). GPM...

Different learning algorithms for the decision fusion mapping of a multiple classifier system are compared in this paper. It is very well known that the confusion matrices of the individual classifiers are utilised in the naive Bayes combination of classifier outputs. After a brief review of the decision templates, the linear associative memory and the pseudoinverse matrix approaches it is demo...

The decision making on selection of improvement solutions was one of the obstacles hampering the success of process improvement. This paper presents the House of Improvement (HOI) model as a guideline to link decision criteria for the prioritisation of improvement solutions. Three phases in the HOI are applied to facilitate selection and to ensure that suitable and value-added solutions are cho...

The assessment and selection of green supplier development programs are an intriguing and functional research subject. This paper proposes a group decision-making approach considering possibilistic statistical concepts under uncertainty to assess green supplier development programs (GSDPs) via interval-valued fuzzy sets (IVFSs). Possibility theory is employed to regard uncertainty by IVFSs. A n...
