Selection of the best compromise irrigation plan is examined in the multi objective context. The study deals with three con ̄icting objectives: net bene®ts, agricultural production and labour employment. Three-stage procedure is adopted combining multi objective optimisation, cluster analysis and multicriterion decision-making (MCDM) methods. Two MCDM methods, namely, PROMETHEE-2 and a newly dev...

Different class of stakeholders of Computational Grid has their own perspective and preferences, which result in different, often contradictory, criteria for scheduling (main step of grid resource management). To increase the level of satisfaction of different class of stakeholders grid management system must use the scheduling heuristic, which provides compromise solution (i.e. a compromise sc...

Among the most important and robust violations of rationality are the attraction and the compromise effects. The compromise effect refers to the tendency of individuals to choose an intermediate option in a choice set, while the attraction effect refers to the tendency to choose an option that dominates some other options in the choice set. This paper argues that both effects may result from an...

In this study, a survey-based multi-criteria decision-making methodology has been developed for the subcontractor selection problem. The survey is carried out in relevant main business areas under work type of company. These are evaluated according to determined dimensions. For methodology, initially, FUCOM weighting method used calculate relative importance and Then, ranking selecting subcontr...

Customers’ pressure, social responsibility, and government regulations have motivated the enterprises to consider reverse logistics (RL) in their operations. Recently, companies frequently outsource RL practices third-party providers (3PRLPs) concentrate on primary concern diminish costs. However, select suitable 3PRLP candidate requires a multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) process involving...

In some lateral alliances, firms coordinate their interactions in Supply Chain Management (SCM) via contracts. Successful implementation of contracts alliances remains challenging practice because the incomplete identification barriers by involved alliance. This paper investigates issues To identify barriers, literature and interview experts on subject matter are reviewed. By adopting novel Fuz...

This paper examines the problem of aggregating ordinal preferences on a set of alternatives into a consensus. This problem has been the subject of study for more than two centuries and many procedures have been developed to create a compromise or consensus. We examine a variety of structures for preference specification, and in each case review the related models for deriving a consensus. Two c...

Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is one of the most popular multi-attribute decision aid methods. However, within AHP, there are several competing preference measurement scales and aggregation techniques. In this paper, we compare these possibilities using a decision problem with an inherent trade-off between two criteria. A decision-maker has to choose among three alternatives: two extremes an...

Abstract The Logistics Performance Index (LPI) performed by the World Bank is an indicator of logistics environment quality a country in which operators act. LPI interactive tool designed to help countries identify challenges, innovative solutions, and opportunities they face their work field trade logistics. aim this paper conduct comparative analysis ranking Western Balkans (Bosnia Herzegovin...

We propose a simple model of an idealized online cultural market in which N items, endowed with hidden quality metric, are recommended to users by ranking algorithm possibly biased the current items’ popularity. Our goal is better understand underlying mechanisms well-known fact that popularity bias can prevent higher-quality items from becoming more popular than lower-quality producing undesir...
