Interval number is a useful tool to handle the uncertainty brought by human factors in multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) process. When faced with MCDM problems in real-world, the experts may be uncomfortable giving precise upper and lower bounds of the interval ratios on multi-criteria. Based on the reciprocal judgment matrices given by the experts through pairwise comparisons, the satisfac...

The problem of machine tool selection among available alternatives has been critical issue for most companies in fast-growing markets for a long time. In the presence of many alternatives and selection criteria, the problem becomes a multiple-criteria decision making (MCDM) machine tool selection problem. Therefore, most companies have utilized various methods to successfully carry out this dif...

The purpose of this study is to apply the method of hybrid multiple criteria decision making (MCDM) to select public relations personnel for tourism industry in Taiwan. Fuzzy Delphi method, which can lead to better criteria selection, is used to modify criteria. Considering the interdependence among the selection criteria, analytic network process (ANP) is then used to obtain the weights of the...

Multi-Criteria Decision-Making (MCDM) is one of the most widely used decision methodologies in the sciences, business, and engineering worlds. MCDM refers to screening, prioritizing, ranking or selecting the alternatives based on human judgment from among a finite set of alternatives in terms of multiple usually conflicting criteria. In this paper, we develop a new methodology for solving multi...

The Air conditioning system satisfies the various space conditions required for the comfort and industrial air conditioning. Now days demand for AC system applications are increasing and include the areas of application like apartment buildings, banks, office buildings, industrial plants, schools, restaurants etc. This growing demand for air conditioning system forced manufactures to develop su...

The disparity in consumer and organization preferences of information channels is a major concern. Further, making decisions in the presence of a wide range of conflicting criteria through the use of a multiple criteria decision-making (MCDM) approach has gained increased prominence in recent years and research in this area has become an important consideration for business operations that invo...

Electricity market reform is in progress in China, and the operational performance of power grid enterprises are vital for its healthy and sustainable development in the current electricity market environment. In this paper, a hybrid multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) framework for operational performance evaluation of a power grid enterprise is proposed from the perspective of sustainabilit...

Öz Supplier evaluation and selection includes both qualitative and quantitative criteria and it is considered as a complex Multi Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) problem. Uncertainty and impreciseness of data is an integral part of decision making process for a real life application. The fuzzy set theory allows making decisions under uncertain environment. In this paper, a trapezoidal type 2 fuz...

Now –adays the multi-criteria decision making methods are gaining importance for selection of best suited alternative among the available alternatives. Decision makers in the construction industry frequently face the problem of assessing a wide range of alternative options, and selecting one based on a set of conflicting criteria. MCDM methods are based on aggregating function representing “ cl...

The aim of this study was to provide an analytical tool to evaluate and select the best supplier(s)/vendor(s) in fuzzy environment for Television (TV) manufacturing organization. A hierarchy through which decision makers can bring about a comparison among the suppliers was worked out and software for the same was developed. The methodology for selection was based upon multiple criteria decision...
