Herein, optimal groundwater pumping solutions based on a variety of energy resources and water storage options are estimated classified. Each source option is first characterized considering energy, economic, environmental criteria. A multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) process the analytic hierarchy (AHP) technique for order performance by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS) subsequently a...

The evaluation of flexible manufacturing system(FMS) is regarded as a multiple attribute group decisionmaking problem and has a critical impact on the improvement of manufacturing system competitiveness. Therefore, an effective group decision-making model using fuzzy-TOPSIS method is developed for the evaluation of alternative FMSs where the information available is subjective and imprecise. In...

An autonomous robot is often in a situation to perform tasks or missions an initially unknown environment. A logical approach doing this implies discovering the environment by incremental principle defined applied exploration strategy. large number of strategies apply technique selecting next position between candidate locations on frontier and known parts using function that combines different...

In multiple criteria decision making (MCDM) methods, the analytic network process (ANP) is used to overcome the problems of interdependence and feedback between criteria or alternatives. The ANP method currently deals with normalization in the supermatrix by assuming each cluster has equal weight. Although the method to normalize the supermatrix is easy, it ignores the different effects among ...

The MCDM problem is very important and often encountered in life engineering as it used to determine the best solution among various possible alternatives. In this paper, results of dressing process for internal grinding are presented. To perform work, an experiment with six input parameters, including depth time fine dressing, coarse non-feeding feed rate, was conducted. designed according Tag...

Drought is a major natural disaster that causes reduction in rain-fed maize yield. Agricultural drought risk assessment conducive to improving regional management ability, thereby reducing food security risks and economic losses. Considering the complexity of research, an increasing number researchers are focusing on multiple-criteria decision-making (MCDM) method. However, applicability MCDM m...

With the dawn of economic globalization and knowledge economy, intellectual capital has become most important factor to determine growth. However, due resource endowment, location conditions, policy differences, other factors, provinces in China show sizeable differences regional (RIC), which affects coordinated development economy. Evaluating RIC is a typical multiple-criteria decision-making ...

Purpose The purpose of this study is to analyze and forecast the financial sustainability resilience commercial banks Bangladesh in response negative effects COVID-19 pandemic. Design/methodology/approach Eighteen publicly listed Dhaka Stock Exchange (DSE) have been taken as a sample for study. To measure riskiness banks' credit portfolio, nine industries DSE considered determine probable loss ...

In this article, by using fuzzy AHP and TOPSIS technique we propose a new method for project selection problem. After reviewing four common methods of comparing alternatives investment (net present value, rate of return, benefit cost analysis and payback period) we use them as criteria in AHP tree. In this methodology by utilizing improved Analytical Hierarchy Process by Fuzzy set theory, first...

To improve the market competitiveness of enterprises in the manufacturing industry, some of them involve picking the most appropriate strategies among multiple available alternatives. However, no single alternative works is suitable for all evaluation criteria which must be considered during the selection processes. This paper proposes a new hybrid MCDM method using design of experiment (DoE) a...
