This study recommends a GIS-based (Geographic Information Systems) and multi-criteria evaluation for site selection of gas power plant in Natanz City of Iran. The multi-criteria decision framework integrates legal requirements and physical constraints related to environmental and economic concerns. It also builds a hierarchy model for gas power plant suitability. The methodologies used for site...

This paper proposes a two-stage fuzzy logarithmic preference programming with multi-criteria decisionmaking, in order to derive the priorities of comparison matrices in the analytic hierarchy pprocess (AHP) and the analytic network process (ANP). The Fuzzy Preference Programming (FPP) proposed by Mikhailov and Singh [L. Mikhailov, M.G. Singh, Fuzzy assessment of priorities with application to c...

A new Group Fuzzy Preference Programming (GFPP) method for fuzzy prioritisation in the Analytic Hierarchy Process is proposed. The assessment of the priorities from fuzzy pairwise comparison judgements is formulated as an optimisation problem, maximising the group’s overall satisfaction with the group solution. Unlike the existing fuzzy prioritisation methods, the GFPP method derives crisp prio...

one of important problems in supply chains management is supplier selection. in a company, there are massive data from various departments so that extracting knowledge from the company’s data is too complicated. many researchers have solved this problem by some methods like fuzzy set theory, goal programming, multi objective programming, the liner programming, mixed integer programming, analyti...

The digital resources construction of college library is important for the development of college, therefore it is necessary to evaluate it base on an effective evaluation method, and the application of fuzzy analytic hierarchy process on it is studied in depth. Firstly, the meaning of performance evaluation of digital construction of college library is discussed; Secondly, the digital resource...

Fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (AHP) has been widely used for a variety of applications such as supplier selection, customer requirements assessment and the like. The vast majority of the applications, however, were found avoiding the use of sophisticated approaches for fuzzy AHP such as fuzzy least squares method while using a simple extent analysis for the sake of simplicity. The extent ana...
