The selection of the most suitable machining process for a given machining application is not straightforward and requires consideration of a number of techno-technological and economic criteria. Therefore is often viewed as a multi-criteria decision making (MCDM). This paper is focused on multi-criteria economic analysis of various machining processes by applying recently developed MCDM method...

The accurate selection of a processing plant site can result in decreasing total mining cost. This problem can be solved by multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) methods. This research introduces a new approach by integrating fuzzy AHP and gray MCDM methods to solve all decision-making problems. The approach is applied in the case of a copper mine area. The critical criteria are considered adja...

The sensitivity analysis for multi-attribute decision making (MADM) problems is important for two reasons: First, the decision matrix as the source of the results of a decision problem is inaccurate because it sorts the alternatives in each criterion inaccurately. Second, the decision maker may change his opinions in a time period because of changes in the importance of the criteria and in the ...

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...

Multi criterion Decision Making (MCDM) methods are widely applied in many domains for finding rank based on the available conflicting nature of the criteria and to choose the best alternative. MCDM methods comprise of complex mathematical calculations which required time to solve, especially, when number of criteria and alternatives are more. In order to automate the process software is require...

Decision-making about server selection is one of the multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) processes where interactions among criteria should be considered. The paper introduces and develops some solutions for considering interactions among criteria in the MCDM problems. In the frame procedure for MCDM by using the group of methods, based on assigning weights, special attention is given to the ...

Multiple criteria decision making (MCDM) is widely used in ranking one or more alternatives from a set of available alternatives with respect to multiple criteria. Inspired by MCDM which are methods to systematically evaluate alternatives, we propose a new Fuzzy TOPSIS for evaluating outsourcing software companies both using subjective and objective weights. While crisp data are inadequate to m...

This paper proposes a method for ranking decision making units (DMUs) using some of the multiple criteria decision making / multiple attribute decision making          (MCDM /MADM) techniques, namely, interval analytic hierarchy process (IAHP)          and the technique for order preference by similarity to an ideal solution (TOPSIS).          Since the efficiency score of unity is assigned to ...

Developing consensus is crucial to effective collaborative decision making and is particularly difficult in cases involving disruptive technologies, a new technology that unexpectedly displaces an established technology. Collaborative decision making often involves multiple criteria. Multicriteria decision making (MCDM) techniques, such as the analytical hierarchy process (AHP) and multiattribu...
