This paper presents a fuzzy multiple criteria decision making (FMCDM) problem with the Technique for Order Performance by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) based on the new concept of positive and negative ideal solution. Whereas decision making is a process which accuracy of data play major role to select the best alternative, considering decision making problems in fuzzy environments moti...

The aim of the study is developing a fuzzy decision model to select a student from an Engineering college who is eligible for All Round Excellence Award for the year 2004-05 by taking subjective judgments of decision makers into consideration. Here Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (FAHP) approach and (Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solutions (TOPSIS) methods are proposed....

This paper extends the technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS) for solving multi-attribute group decision making (MAGDM) problems under triangular intuitionistic fuzzy sets by using its correlation coefficient. In situations where the information or the data is of the form of triangular intuitionistic fuzzy numbers (TIFNs), some arithmetic aggregation operators h...

The facility location selection, which is one of the important activities in strategic planning for a wide range of private and public companies, is a multi-criteria decision making problem including both quantitative and qualitative criteria. Traditional methods for facility location selection can not be effectively handled because information can not be represented by precise information unde...

Nowadays, sustainable End-of-Life vehicle (ELV) management has been recognized as the most important issue to overcome environmental and economic challenges for most companies. Hence, sustainable ELV strategies evaluation plays a crucial rule in order to improve the sustainability performance of companies. In this paper, an evaluation model based on the Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) an...

Abstract: With the globalization of online shopping, deterioration of the ecological environment and the increasing pressure of urban transportation, a novel logistics service mode—joint distribution (JD)—was developed. Selecting the optimal partner combination is important to ensure the joint distribution alliance (JDA) is sustainable and stable, taking into consideration conflicting criteria....

Purpose: The aim of this study is applying a new method for Industrial robotic system selection. Design/methodology/approach: In this paper, the weights of each criterion are calculated using fuzzy Shannon’s Entropy. After that, fuzzy TOPSIS is utilized to rank the alternatives. After that we compare the result of Fuzzy TOPSIS with Fuzzy VIKOR method. Then we select the best Industrial Robotic ...

Decision making problem is the process of finding the best option from all of the feasible alternatives. In this paper, from among multicriteria models in making complex decisions and multiple attribute models for the most preferable choice, technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS) approach has been dealt with. In real-word situation, because of incomplete or non-...

Abstract The purpose of this paper is to extend the TOPSIS (Technique for Order Performance by Similarity to Ideal Solution) method for solving multiple attribute decision making (MADM) problems with trapezoid fuzzy linguistic variables. To begin with, this paper introduces the concept of the trapezoid fuzzy linguistic variables, and defines the distance between two trapezoid fuzzy linguistic v...

The decision data of human judgments with preferences are often vague in many real life cases. Human judgments with preferences are often unclear and hard to estimate by exact numerical values. So that the traditional ways of using crisp values are inadequate. The relationship among criteria and choosing and rating alternatives based on criterion are often expressed in terms of linguistic terms...
