Renewable energy technology is suitable for reducing consumption and emissions, the corresponding impact on poverty has aroused tremendous attention. This paper proposed best-worst method- (BWM-) based quality function deployment (QFD) approach within interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy number (IVIFN) to select appropriate renewable alleviation. QFD firstly used explore relationship between re...

Data envelopment analysis (DEA) is one of the widely used methods to measure efficiency scores decision making units (DMUs). Conventional DEA unable consider both uncertainty in data and makers’ (DMs) judgments evaluations. This study, address shortcomings conventional DEA, proposes a new best worst method (BWM)- robust credibility (BWM-RCDEA) model estimate DMUs considering DMs’ preferences un...

Most studies in recent decades focused on transforming linear economics into circular through recovering and remanufacturing the products. Circular Economies (CE) aim to minimize usage of resources by utilizing waste production as new or raw materials. Interconnectivity between parties industrial system provides decision-makers with rich information anticipation failure. Industry 4.0 technologi...

With the development of social economy and an enlarged volume information, application multiple-criteria decision making (MCDM) has become increasingly wide deep. As a brilliant MCDM technique, best–worst method (BWM) attracted many scholars’ attention because it can determine weights criteria with less comparison time higher consistency between judgments than analytic hierarchy process. Howeve...

Human resources are a key source of sustainable competitive advantage and considered as one the substantial factors for an organization’s success. No organization can survive without its human resources. Understanding employees’ needs, desires, satisfaction is essential. Organizational managers consider financial non-financial compensation service. There need practical look at field nursing ser...

To overcome the continuous decline in its gross domestic product growth rate, China has advocated new and old kinetic energy conversion (NOKEC) as a policy for sustainable economic development post-COVID-19 era. The innovation drivers of NOKEC are key to promoting development. However, have various orientations, their selection requires multiple-criteria decision-making (MCDM). This study propo...

The aim of this paper is to assess the extent which Sad-Kalan watershed in Iran participates floods and rank sub-watersheds terms flooding potential by utilizing multi-criteria decision-making approaches. We employed entropy a drainage network, stream power index (SPI), slope, topographic control (TCI), compactness coefficient (Cc) investigation. After forming decision matrix with 25 possibilit...

Choosing the right supplier has a significant impact on efficiency and productivity of supply chain (SC). Different selection models approaches have been developed for reverse SCs. The lean, agile, resilient, green (LARG) strategy is an innovative paradigm competitiveness sustainability. This study proposes fuzzy-based methodology that integrates fuzzy group best-worst method (FG-BWM) combined ...

Abstract Hesitant fuzzy preference relations (HFPRs) have been widely applied in multicriteria decision-making (MCDM) for their ability to efficiently express hesitant information. To address the situation where HFPRs are necessary, this paper develops several models integrating with best worst method (BWM). First, consistency measures from perspectives of additive/multiplicative consistent (HF...
