Abstract
Fuzzy AHP is a hybrid method that combines Fuzzy Set Theory and AHP. It has been developed to take into account uncertainty and imprecision in the evaluations. Fuzzy Set Theory requires the definition of a membership function. At present, there are no indications of how these membership functions can be constructed. In this paper, a way to calibrate the membership functions with comparisons given by the decision-maker on alternatives with known measures is proposed. This new technique is illustrated in a study measuring the most important factors in selecting a student current account.

The aim of this paper is to develop a regime switching design of the fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (FAHP) and to improve its functionality under the choice-varying priority (CVP) problem. In the conventional AHP decision process, priority matrices are identical and their values are invariant for a specific objective. However, in many Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) problems, the relative importance of criteria may differ according to the choices. A regime switching process is proposed f...

The aim of this paper is to develop a generic version of the conventional fuzzy-analytic hierarchy process (FAHP) method and investigate the shipping asset management (SAM) problem in the dry bulk shipping market. The recent literature has various applications of the FAHP, but these studies lack consistency control, use identical decision support rather than weighted expert choices, and lack measurable criteria. The proposed model, generic fuzzy-AHP (here after GF-AHP), provides a standard contr...

Often customers make their purchase decision based on price, quality and functionality of the product. Sometimes the decision is influenced by the perceived value, which is always subjective and emotion-driven. In order to ensure successful launch of a product, it is extremely important to predict the perceived value of design alternatives systematically based on the common language understood by both target users and designers. However, the index for communicating and evaluating such value from...

Spread mooring systems are associated with high level uncertainties and risks during tanker loading/unloading operations. In addition, the design of such complex systems consists of many subjective and imprecise parameters. Therefore, in the present study, a fuzzy based decision support methodology is designed to overcome aforementioned characteristics. The fuzzy methodology incorporates qualitative and partially known information into the decision support model and provides a robust mathematica...

Selecting the best transportation investment project (TIP) is often a difficult task, since many social, environmental and economic criteria have to be considered simultaneously. Evaluating a set of different projects, especially the best set of alternatives, portfolios, is even more complex. Pursuing the goal of selecting the best TIP portfolio, we propose a fuzzy assessment method to aid the selection process of a multi-criterion project by utilizing the concept of entropy and interval normali...

This paper presents a fuzzy optimization model to solve multicriteria decision making (MCDM) systems based on a fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (fuzzy AHP). To deal with the imprecise judgments of decision makers, a fuzzy AHP decision making model is proposed as an evaluation tool, where the expert's comparison judgments are translated into fuzzy numbers. Unlike the conventional fuzzy AHP methods, the proposed method drives exact weights from consistent and inconsistent fuzzy comparison matrice...

Abstract We propose a development of the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) permitting to use the methodology also for decision problems with a very large number of alternatives and several criteria. While the application of the original AHP method involves many pairwise comparisons between considered objects, that can be alternatives with respect to considered criteria or criteria between them, our parsimonious proposal is composed of five steps: (i) direct evaluation of the objects at hand; (ii)...

Abstract The Serbian city of Novi Sad is experiencing problems in managing its ecosystems and the services they provide. The problems are mostly affected by both the institutional organization and societal behavior, and a participative decision-making framework is required to motivate residents to better communicate with institutions. Our earlier research also indicated a need to more explicitly relate urban and ecosystem development indicators with management of city areas covered by public par...

Abstract Managing complex construction projects is a challenging task because it involves multiple factors and decision-making processes. A systematic evaluation of these complex factors is imperative for achieving project success. As most of these factors are qualitative or intangible in nature, decision makers often rely on subjective judgements when comparing and evaluating them. The hybrid techniques that integrate fuzzy set theory and the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) are able to deal wi...

The decision making problem considered in this paper is to rank n alternatives from the best to the worst, using the information given by the decision maker in the form of an $$n\times n$$ pairwise comparison matrix. Here, we deal with pairwise comparison matrices with fuzzy elements. Fuzzy elements of the pairwise comparison matrix are applied whenever the decision maker is not sure about the value of his/her evaluation of the relative importance of elements in question. We investigate pairwise...

AbstractThe paper discusses fuzzy group analytic hierarchy process. In the literature, there are found several approaches for determining weights either directly from the individual judgments or via group comparison matrix. However, the quality of the group weights was not studied yet. In the paper, we propose two new measures for the evaluation of the group weights that are adapted from classical analytic hierarchy process. We selected six approaches for deriving weights and use them in an appl...

Abstract Firms are increasingly more integrating Enterprise Content Management (ECM) into their IT infrastructure in order to manage a growing volume of complex structured and unstructured data. These packages allow capturing, generating and delivering accurate information and contents in real time to support decision making in the whole business process. However, it is not easy to achieve the full benefits of an ECM package as this relies on a variety of indicators from the organizational and t...
