-The multi-criteria decision making (MCDM)problems with fuzzy preference information on alternatives are essential problems of the importance of weighting and ranking. In order to solve this problem, Analytical Hierarchy Process(AHP) and fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method are coupled to form a new approach named Fuzzy-AHP.This method is different from the traditional FAHP,which used to facil...

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...

In a paper by Chang [D.Y. Chang, Applications of the extent analysis method on fuzzy AHP, European Journal of Operational Research 95 (1996) 649–655], an extent analysis method on fuzzy AHP was proposed to obtain a crisp priority vector from a triangular fuzzy comparison matrix. It is found that the extent analysis method cannot estimate the true weights from a fuzzy comparison matrix and has l...

In this paper, the definition of multiplicative intuitionistic fuzzy consistent complementary judgment matrix(MIFCCJM) is given, then based on the aspect of multiplicative intuitionistic fuzzy consistent complementary judgment matrix(MIFCCJM) formed by priority weights approximatives actual intuitionistic fuzzy complementary judgment matrix(IFCJM), a least deviation priority method for intuitio...

Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is major method for decision making, and inner dependence AHP is used for cases in which criteria or/and alternatives are not independent enough. Using the original AHP or inner dependence AHP may cause results that cannot have enough reliability because of the inconsistency of the comparison matrix. In such cases, fuzzy representation for weighting criteria or/...

The evaluation process of employee performance has been very vital and critical issue for companies that aim to reward employees for meeting their organizational goals and identify whether or not their objectives are met, and develop necessary action plans so that they can be achieved in near future. This selection process is so essential for companies due to the fact that wrong decisions may n...

The purpose of this study is to make the case for the utility of decision support systems (DSS) in the diagnosis of malaria and to conduct a case comparison of the effectiveness of the fuzzy and the AHP methodologies in the medical diagnosis of malaria, in order to provide a framework for determining the appropriate kernel in a fuzzy–AHP hybrid system. The combination of inadequate expertise an...

The fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (AHP) is an extension to the classical AHP that enables dealing with the impreciseness and vagueness of judgments. It has been frequently used for handling complex decision making problems that demand a group rather than a single decision maker. Group decision making aggregates the judgments of individuals into a joint decision. Although consensus is the des...

Land suitability classification is important in planning and managing sustainable land use. Most approaches to land suitability analysis combine a large number of land and soil parameters, and are time-consuming and costly. In this study, a potentially useful technique (combined feature selection and fuzzy-AHP method) to increase the efficiency of land suitability analysis was presented. To thi...
