This paper suggests a novel success framework for customer relationship management (CRM) based on a conceptual implementation model to identify associated critical factors and their contribution to overall success/failure. Fuzzy analytic network process (FANP) is applied to identify the relative importance of each factor in successful implementation of each stage and the CRM initiative as a uni...

This paper addresses the strategic level of Hybrid Make-To-Stock (MTS)/Make-To-Order (MTO) production contexts using Fuzzy Analytic Network Process (FANP). The decisions which are involved in this level are family formation and order partitioning. First, a family formation procedure is developed; then, a fuzzy analytic network process is proposed to tackle partitioning decision. Since strategic...
