The purpose of this paper is to streamline the supply corn, one key ingredients in production bioethanol. Using a comprehensive sustainable framework criteria (including social, economic, and environmental dimensions), potential locations corn cultivation Iran are examined from multi-criteria decision analysis perspective. To end, we need find importance relevant evaluation ranking method rank ...

This paper focuses on the problem of supplier portfolio selection where a company has to choose best possible set suppliers with respect various constraints. An intuitive heuristic can suggest use any methods for ranking and then put first one into portfolio. If some required constraint is not met, second according added, so on, until all constraints are satisfied. However, such approach result...

Despite serious threats as to their soundness, the adoption of composite indicators is constantly growing alongside popularity, especially when it comes in policy-making exercises. This study presents a robust non-compensatory approach construct that mainly based, at least with respect basic ideas, on classic Borda scoring procedure. The we are proposing can be seen aggregation ordinal preferen...

This article is based on previous author’s articles on a correct way for ranking alternatives in Multi-criteria Decision-Making (MCDM). A straightforward but robust Weighed-Sum Procedure (WSP) is presented. It consists in combining additively ranks or scores evaluated against a dimensionless scale, common to all criteria. MCDM methodologies based on pair-wise comparison methods are on the contr...

Robustness analysis and visualization are two of key concepts of multi-criteria decision support. They enable the decision-maker to improve his understanding of both the model and the problem domain. A class of original mathematical optimization based robustness metrics is hence defined in this paper. In addition, several efficient existing techniques that have been successfully used in various...
