time, cost and quality are considered as the main components in managing each project. previous researches have mainly focused on the time-cost trade-off problems. recently quality is considered as the most important factor in project�s success, which is influenced by time acceleration that is the less time is spent the more success is gained. in time-cost-quality trade-off problems, each act...

Selection of the best robotic system considering subjective and objective factors is very imperative decision making procedure. This paper presents an extended TOPSIS based homogeneous group algorithm for selection industrial systems under fuzzy multiple criteria (FMCDM) analysis. FPIS, FNIS, positive negative separation measures, factor measure, measure robot index are computed. A case study h...

Multidimensional scaling (MDS) analysis is a dimension-reduction technique that is used to estimate the coordinates of a set of objects. However, not every criterion used in multidimensional scaling is equally and precisely weighted in the real world. To address this issue, we use fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (FAHP) to determine the weighting of subjective/perceptive judgments for each crit...

in last decades, the skillful planning of land resources has become a major issue for rural development. the development of cultivated areas becomes gradually impossible due to ever increasing population growth and urban development. fuzzy logic is preferred to boolean logic for land evaluation, because fuzzy techniques lead to estimate for land use suitability on a continuous scale and can the...

the use of value engineering (ve) methodology in construction industry has grown significantly, mainly in view of its extensive benefits. the main task in evaluation phase of ve workshop is to assess alternative ideas, proposed for each function. this phase of ve, hence, could be deemed as a multi criteria decision making (mcdm) problem. this paper presents a fuzzy decision support system (dss)...

making an informed decision with regards to a suitable business location or site selection for organizations is becoming challenging for business decision makers globally; and even more challenging in business environment that are saddled with uncertainties. the continues raise of multiple criteria variation of site preferences has also necessitated the application of advanced decision making t...

This paper presents a hybrid fuzzy multi criteria decision making model for z-numbers using intuitive vectorial centroid. There are two novelty discuss here: 1) development of intuitive vectorial centroid defuzzification and; 2) development of hybrid fuzzy multi criteria decision making model based on consistent fuzzy preference relations and fuzzy technique for order performance by similarity ...
