Supplier selection, the process of finding the right suppliers who are able to provide the buyer with the right quality products and/or services at the right price, at the right time and in the right quantities, is one of the most critical activities for establishing an effective supply chain, and is typically a multi-criteria group decision problem. In many practical situations, there usually ...

this paper processes a combined method, based on vikor and data envelopment analysis (dea) to select the units with most efficiency. we utilize the vikor as compromise solution method. this research is a two-stage model designed to fully rank the alternatives, where each alternative has multiple inputs and outputs. the problem involves belief parameters in the solution procedure. first, the alt...

the comprehensive assessment model considers the financial and non-financial aspects as balanced scorecard. also, for more comprehensive results of the investigation, four aspects of the balanced scorecard were used and then by using fuzzy delphi technique and experts' opinions, the standard aspects of each were achieved in two stages. to determine the importance of each aspect of bsc, the proce...

the current study set to extend a new vikor method as a compromise ranking approach to solve multiple criteria decision-making (mcdm) problems through intuitionistic fuzzy analysis. using compromise method in mcdm problems contributes to the selection of an alternative as close as possible to the positive ideal solution and far away from the negative ideal solution, concurrently. using atanasso...

Quantum decision theory has been successfully applied to multi-attribute group decision-making (MAGDM) model decision-makers’ interference and superposition effects in recent years. Existing quantum models assume that among decision-makers are symmetric. However, asymmetric have ignored. We propose a VIKOR-based linguistic distribution assessments (LDAs) considering scenario. Firstly, we combin...
