Characterizing and identification of flood-susceptible areas can be a solution to mitigate the damages fatality rate. This study proposes novel hybrid MCDM framework assess flood susceptibility in large ungauged watersheds dealing with data scarcity issues. The proposed method examines interdependencies causal relationships between various criteria affecting flooding procedure using DEcision-MA...

Considering the goals of carbon peaking and neutrality, along with their related policies, pumped storage power stations are set to develop quickly in China. The comprehensive performance must urgently be evaluated, which can help investors decision making provide a reference for policymakers. In this paper, hybrid novel fuzzy multicriteria decision-making (MCDM) method combining best worst (BW...

The paper examines the existing approaches to defining concept of website reliability and specifies a "broad" interpretation its as dependability. Five key criteria for evaluating dependability were formed (availability, fault tolerance, recoverability, integrity, confidentiality), which used build an evaluation model. This multi-criteria model is based on modification "best-worst method" (BWM)...

Emerging economies, e.g. India, China and Brazil etc., face challenges to adopt food safety (FS) practices in their supply chains. Considering industry’s operations processes, this study identifies 25 the FS initiatives involving opinions of practitioners from six major Indian producers academic experts. The are grouped into five categories, viz. organisational, government policy, global, knowl...

The generalized interval-valued trapezoidal fuzzy best-worst method (GITrF-BWM) provides more reliable and consistent criteria weights for multiple group decision making (MCGDM) problems. In this study, GITrF-BWM is integrated with the extended TOPSIS (technique order preference by similarity to ideal solution) VIKOR (visekriterijumska optimizacija i kompromisno resenje) methods selection of op...

Selecting a suitable design for lean facility layout has become critical issue manufacturing company aiming to remove waste or non-value-added activities and implement the optimal arrangement. Many quantitative qualitative criteria with different weights need be considered in evaluating designs. To address issue, Best-Worst method (BWM) based on fuzzy ELECTRE I is introduced determine design, w...

In this paper, we compare three methods for deriving a priority vector in the theoretical framework of pairwise comparisons—the Geometric Mean Method (GMM), Eigenvalue (EVM) and Best–Worst (BWM)—with respect to two features: sensitivity order violation. As research method, apply One-Factor-At-a-Time (OFAT) analysis via Monte Carlo simulations; number compared objects ranges from 3 8, comparison...

Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) has been widely applied in measuring the efficiency of Decision-Making Units (DMUs). The conventional DEA three major drawbacks: a) it does not consider Decision Makers’ (DMs) preferences evaluation process, b) DMUs this model are flexible weighting criteria to reach maximum possible efficiency, and c) ignores uncertainty data. However, many real-world applicatio...

Food security and waste minimisation are the main concerns for management of food supply chains (FSC), as >33 % global production is wasted or lost due to mismanagement. Stakeholders must address ongoing issues, such resource scarcity, climate change, creation etc. create an environment conducive sustainable consumption (SPC) promote economic sustainability. Resource efficiency minimization nec...

The concept of sustainable development is becoming incomprehensible and complex in global supply networks, especially low- middle-income countries (LMIC) that are most affected by ever-changing industry challenges standards. Smart technologies emerged Industry 4.0, sustainability, circular economy (CE) connection, which remain unexplored, can be integrated into the chain as a business strategy ...
