Due to decaying fossil resource and increasing environmental consciousness, the demand of renewable energy resources is escalating these days. Photovoltaic solar energy is one of the most popular renewable energy resources in places where sunlight is abundant. The selection of a desirable location for constructing a photovoltaic solar plant is the first and one of the most important stages in t...

increasing global notices in environmental protection, green supply chain management (gscm) has received much attention by researchers and managers more than the past. commonly, firms have considered cost criteria to select their suppliers. despite the fact that there are various papers considering the formal criteria in supplier selection, there is a few limited numbers considering the environ...

ABSTRACT: It is commonly recognized that knowledge is the only source of core competence in the knowledge based companies, but the productivity rate of Knowledge Workers is always Low. Based on Knowledge Workers’ characteristics, in this paper, we seek to identify factors influencing the Productivity of Knowledge Workers, and then strategies present for improvement of theirs Productivity. Final...

Many researches on how price bundling affects bundle purchasing in the marketing field have been discussed, but an analytic evaluation of customer value offered by product bundles is still lacking. By combining „Delphi method‟, „Fuzzy analytical network process‟ (FANP) and „Extent analysis‟, an integrated decision making method has developed and applied in evaluating cosmetic bundles. Based on ...

these days, limited energy resources, and also the cost of investment in new and renewable energy is very costly and uneconomical. in the industrial sector, especially energy-intensive industries such as steel, finding appropriate solutions to update the technology, production and reduce energy consumption in this sector is very important. the main aim of this study is the identification and ra...

To meet the changes of internal and external environment, Enterprise Resources Planning (ERP) system needs to have a good flexibility. Flexibility is an indispensable request and is also a way that must be taken during the establishment process of ERP. Flexibility measurement is an important item for the implementation of ERP flexibility. According to the characteristics of ERP system, an index...

Data mining has a tremendous contribution for researchers to extract the hidden knowledge and information which have been inherited in the raw data. This study has proposed a brand new and practical fuzzy analytic network process (FANP) based weighted RFM (Recency, Frequency, Monetary value) model for application in K-means algorithm for auto insurance customers’ segmentation. The developed met...

in this paper a fuzzy analytical network process model for supporting the vendor selection process in strategic situations is suggested. first, the vendor evaluation problem is putting together by use of the multi-criteria decision-making (mcdm) approach and a five-step hybrid process, which incorporates the technique of fuzzy analytical network process. then the modified topsis (technique for ...
