This paper applies a new multi attribute decision-making (MADM) model to help companies for enterprise resource planning (ERP) selection problem based on Balanced Score Card method. This paper uses three-parameter interval grey numbers which is derived from Grey theory (was proposed by J. Deng). This numbers is used instead of linguistic variables. Beside, a new weighting method that outcomes f...

organizations in private and public sector assign many projects in information technology (particularly software) field to contractors for implementation every year. previous experiences shows that most of these projects are stopped before finishing or cannot meet the expected results. based on studies related to this issue, many of failures depend on implementation contractor, directly or indi...

resource limitation in zero time may cause to some profitable projects not to be selected in project selection problem, thus simultaneous project portfolio selection and scheduling problem has received significant attention. in this study, budget, investment costs and earnings are considered to be stochastic. the objectives are maximizing net present values of selected projects and minimizing v...

Existing project selection models do not consider the complexity of projects as a selection criterion, while their complexity may prolong the project duration and even result in its failure. In addition, existing models cannot formulate the aggregate complexity of the selected projects. The aggregated complexity is not always equal to summation of complexity of projects because of possible syne...
