multi attribute decision making methods are considered as one of the most useful methods for solving ranking problems. in some decision making problems, while the alternatives for corresponding criteria are compared in a pairwise comparison manner, if the criteria are inherently fuzzy, debates will arise in ranking alternatives due to the closeness of the values of the criteria. in this researc...

Supplier selection is a multi-Criteria problem. This study proposes a hybrid model for supporting the suppliers’ selection and ranking. This research is a two-stage model designed to fully rank the suppliers where each supplier has multiple Inputs and Outputs. First, the supplier evaluation problem is formulated by Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA), since the regarded decision deals with uncertai...

This research paper aims to give a new dimension to the decision maker by proposing a hybrid model of analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and preference ranking organisation method for enrichment evaluation (PROMETHEE) in 3PL selection. It uses an integrated approach of AHP-PROMTHEE as a selection methodology to select an efficient and requisite 3PL firm for a manufacturer. A relatively new and us...

The fundamental objective of supply chain management (SCM) is to integrate various suppliers to satisfy market demand. Supplier evaluation and selection is very important for establishing an effective supply chain. As a matter of fact, supplier selection consists of both qualitative and quantitative criteria, so it is considered as a multi criteria decision making (MCDM) problem. Under incomple...

in this study, an outsourcer evaluation and management system is developed for a manufacturing company by use of fuzzy goal programming (fgp). a first phase of the methodology evaluation criteria for outsources and the objectives of the company are determined. considering the fuzziness in the decision data, linguistic variables that can be expressed in generalized fuzzy number are used. the pro...

The notion of comparatively positioning objects with respect to each other is commonly called ranking. With respect to databases, the ranking issue is closely associated with data retrieval. Yu, Hwang, and Chang (2007) highlight that with the myriad of databases situated online, retrieving relevant data is problematic; in reality it becomes an online ranking problem (Chaudhuri, Das, Hristidis, ...
