in order to survive in today's competitive world, organizations are looking to increase their efficiency and effectiveness. therefore, they should focus on inputs that are more important than the rest of the inputs in their success. this paper aimed at ranking 7ms (management, man power, marketing, material, machinery, methods and money) and their sub-criteria of production in iran. by imp...

The problem of evaluation of intellectual capital has attracted considerable attention. It involves many factors, such as peoples’ utility, the market value and the potential profits etc. Using the traditional accounting methods is difficult to estimate an appropriate result. In this paper we propose an integrated fuzzy evaluation procedure to measure the intellectual capital. The main methods ...

Ranking of fuzzy numbers is not an easy task as fuzzy numbers are represented by possibility distributions and they can overlap with each other. Since it was introduced, various approaches on ranking fuzzy numbers have been proposed. The recent ranking fuzzy numbers proposed by Wang and Li is claimed to be the improved version in ranking. However, the method was never been simplified and tested...

The purpose of this paper is to study fully fuzzy multi-choice multiobjective linear programming problem (FFMMOLPP), in which, right hand side of each constraint has two choices. With the help of ranking function, deviation distance and deviation degree between two fuzzy numbers are defined. A new method is proposed to find the  fuzzy pareto optimal solution of FFMMOLPP which is defuzzified by...

Ranking of fuzzy numbers play an important role in decision making, optimization, forecasting etc. fuzzy numbers must be ranked before an action is taken by a decision maker. In this paper we propose a new approach of the fuzzy ranking of generalized trapezoidal fuzzy numbers based on radius of gyration point of centroids. The main advantage of the proposed approach is that the proposed approac...

migration of virtual machine (vm) is a critical challenge in cloud computing. the process to move vms or applications from one physical machine (pm) to another is known as vm migration. in vm migration several issues should be considered. one of the major issues in vm migration problem is selecting an appropriate pm as a destination for a migrating vm. to face this issue, several approaches are...

jahanshahloo has suggested a method for the solving linear programming problems with zero-one variables‎. ‎in this paper we formulate fully fuzzy linear programming problems with zero-one variables and a method for solving these problems is presented using the ranking function and also the branch and bound method along with an example is presented.

In this paper, a novel approach combining fuzzy data envelopment analysis (DEA) and the analytical hierarchical process (AHP) is proposed to rank units with multiple fuzzy criteria. The hybrid fuzzy DEA/AHP approach derives the AHP pairwise comparisons by fuzzy DEA and utilizes AHP to fully rank units. It shows that the proposed approach generates a logical ranking of units that has perfect com...

Ranking of intuitionsitic fuzzy number plays a vital role in decision making and other intuitionistic fuzzy applications. In this paper, we propose a new ranking method of intuitionistic fuzzy number based on distance measure. We first define a distance measure for interval numbers based on Lp metric and further generalize the idea for intuitionistic fuzzy number by forming interval with their ...

Intuitionistic Fuzzy Numbers (IFNs) transfer more information than fuzzy numbers do in uncertain situations. It is caused that many others tried to define methods for ranking of IFNs and arithmetic operations on them, which are used in practical applications of IFNs such as decision making. Arithmetic operators on IFNs changed membership and non-membership degrees. The resulted degrees have imp...
