Solar energy, produced through a solar power plant, is freely available, non-polluting, renewable source of energy that reduces the greenhouse effect. Selecting best location for plant among several alternatives complicated multiple criteria decision making (MCDM) problem since potentially conflicting quantitative and qualitative needs to be taken into consideration. In this paper, most commonly used MCDM methods in literature; Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) PROMETHEE II (Preference...

In this study, a hesitant fuzzy AHP method is presented to help decision makers (DMs), especially policymakers, governors, and physicians, evaluate the importance of intervention strategy alternatives applied by various countries for COVID-19 pandemic. research, multicriteria making (MCDM) method, Analytic Hierarchy Process (hesitant F-AHP), implemented make pairwise comparison country-level strategies determine relative scores. An illustrative study where fifteen in world during pandemic...

Purpose Since the demand for energy has dramatically increased in countries which have fast-growing population and economy, they faced with a critical problem of how to evaluate set potential sources (i.e. nuclear, natural gas, bio, geothermal, hydro, wind solar) choose ultimate source their needs. On other hand, this turns into multiple-criteria decision-making (MCDM) presence alternatives evaluation criteria. In literature, there are many MCDM methods introduced solve different kinds...

Purpose In this paper, two popular multiple-criteria decision-making (MCDM) methods with hesitant fuzzy logic approach; analytic hierarchy process (hesitant F-AHP) and the technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution (HF-TOPSIS) are integrated as HF-AHP-TOPSIS evaluating a set of enterprise resource planning (ERP) alternatives rank them weight reach ultimate one that satisfies needs expectations company. Design/methodology/approach Selecting best ERP software package among...

Machine tool selection process has been a critical issue for companies years, since improper of machine might cause many problems, affecting negatively the productivity, precision, flexibility and company’s responsive manufacturing capabilities. On other hand, selecting best from its increasing number existing alternatives in market is multiple-criteria decision making (MCDM) problem presence quantitative qualitative attributes. Therefore, most have utilized various methods to successfully...

An integrated approach is given for the assessment and ranking of concepts as part new product development (NPD) process. Selection best concept in NPD involves multiple criteria decision-making (MCDM) since there are numerous possibly competing to consider. Here, "hesitant fuzzy Analytic Network Process" (H-F-ANP) Preference Ranking Organization Method Enriching Evaluations II" (H-F-PROMETHEE II) assess determine best. In hesitant ANP-PROMETHEE II (H-F-ANP-PROMETHEE II), H-F-ANP applied...

In this study, a fuzzy AHP-VIKOR method is presented to help decision makers (DMs), especially physicians, evaluate and rank intervention strategies for influenza. Selecting the best strategy sophisticated multiple criteria decision-making (MCDM) problem with potentially competing criteria. Two MCDM methods, analytic hierarchy process (F-AHP) VIsekriterijumska optimizacija i KOmpromisno Resenje (F-VIKOR), are integrated influenza strategies. AHP-VIKOR, F-AHP used determine weights F-VIKOR...

Soke Plain, located within the Büyük Menderes River Basin is one of highest producers cotton in Türkiye. The overall irrigation water supply based on scarce conventional resources that are being depleted at an increasing pace due to climate change impacts B. Menderes. inclusive objective this research pave way for a "water efficiency action plan" incorporating non-conventional (alternative) Plain address adaptive management. Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM) principles help...

Earthquake relief network involves storage and distribution of aid to people in need. In this paper, a new stochastic multi-objective mixed integer mathematical model is developed implemented Kadikoy municipality Istanbul, Turkey order configure part the earthquake network. The aim help decision makers decide on locations areas for shelters pre-earthquake from these temporary shelter post-earthquake while minimizing scenario-specific total expected distance, damage risk factor penalty cost...

In todayʼs world where technology is rapidly evolving, hotels need to be the best in all conditions one step ahead of other competitors. Digital marketing and hotel website solutions play a lead role this competition. Therefore, websites innovative, user-friendly, descriptive. The main purpose study evaluate rank potential digital provider firms. Since there are various potentially competing quantitative qualitative criteria take into consideration decision-making process, multicriteria...

In order to focus on their main skills and be more competitive efficient in business, firms frequently outsource logistics functions a third party (3PL) provider. Evaluation selection of 3PL provider is multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) process due the need take into consideration various potentially competing qualitative quantitative criteria. this paper, as MCDM method, fuzzy best-worst method (BWM) applied problem textile company Turkey. Here, six alternatives are evaluated with...

In this study, an intelligent approach is presented for the evaluation and selection of innovation projects. Selecting best project a complicated multiple criteria decision making (MCDM) problem with several potentially competing quantitative qualitative criteria. pape r, two hesitant fuzzy MCDM methods; Analytic Hierarchy Process (hesitant F-AHP) VIsekriterijumska optimizacija i KOmpromisno Resenje F-VIKOR) are integrated to evaluate rank AHP-VIKOR, F-AHP used find weights F-VIKOR...

In this study, an intelligent, integrated approach is presented to help educators select the best simulation software package. Selecting package for educational use a complex multiple criteria decision making (MCDM) problem with several potentially conflicting quanti tative and qualitative criteria. paper, two fuzzy MCDM methods; Analytic Hierarchy Process (F-AHP) VIsekriterijumska optimizacija i KOmpromisno Resenje (F-VIKOR) are evaluate alternatives. proposed AHP-VIKOR approach, F-AHP used...
