This paper presents an integrated fuzzy approach for selecting R&D project. In the integrated approach, fuzzy concepts are used for decision-makers’ subjective judgments to reflect the vague nature of the selection process. Fuzzy ANP and Fuzzy TOPSIS are included in the integrated approach. Fuzzy ANP is used to determine the fuzzy weights of criteria and sub-criteria. Fuzzy TOPSIS aims to rank ...

The purpose of this study is to apply the method of hybrid multiple criteria decision making (MCDM) to select public relations personnel for tourism industry in Taiwan. Fuzzy Delphi method, which can lead to better criteria selection, is used to modify criteria. Considering the interdependence among the selection criteria, analytic network process (ANP) is then used to obtain the weights of the...

To address this research possibility, the present empirical study undertakes assessment of usable-security healthcare software system. The attributes considered for are: four factors at first level; thirteen sub-factors second level with six Hospital Management Software Systems (HMSS) as alternatives. Fuzzy Analytic Network Process (F-ANP) has been applied evaluating weights and their relations...

The problem of machine tool selection among available alternatives has been critical issue for most companies in fast-growing markets for a long time. In the presence of many alternatives and selection criteria, the problem becomes a multiple-criteria decision making (MCDM) machine tool selection problem. Therefore, most companies have utilized various methods to successfully carry out this dif...

Abstract Suppliers play an important role in supporting the supply chain within company. Therefore, evaluation of suppliers company is a problem that studied to improve performance company’s chain. The purpose this study evaluate green using Analytic Network Process (ANP)-Technique for order by similarity ideal solution (TOPSIS). ANP used weigh each factor and criteria, TOPSIS suppliers. This r...
