This paper presents a multicriteria decision making approach for evaluating the performance of recoverable end-of-life products in the reverse supply chain. The multi-dimensional nature of the performance evaluation process is handled in the context of multicriteria analysis. Linguistic terms approximated by triangular fuzzy numbers are used to tackle the subjectiveness and imprecision of the performance...
There is a growing interest in the importance of environmental sustainability in every industry as it can help organizations to achieve significant benefits through sustainable work practices. Green Information and Communication Technology is becoming a universal issue but it appears to be more of a concern in developing countries especially because of a perceived lack of awareness. The aim of this...
This paper formulates the selection of Cloud based enterprise resource planning (ERP) system providers as a multicriteria group decision making problem, and presents a fuzzy multicriteria group decision making procedure for effectively solving the group decision making problem. The subjectiveness and imprecision of the decision making process is dealt effectively with the use of interval-valued intuitionistic...
The application of information systems (IS) for supporting human resources management has become increasingly important for organizations in improving their competitiveness. The selection of the most suitable human resources management IS project, however, is complex and challenging due to the involvement of multiple decision makers, the multi-dimensional nature of the selection process and the presence...
This paper presents an interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy multicriteria group decision making approach for effectively evaluating the sustainability performance of thermal power enterprises in a fuzzy environment. Interval-valued intuitionistic hesitant fuzzy sets are used to deal with the conditions where the decision makers hesitate among several values to assess the alternatives. An interval-valued...
Evaluating the sustainability performance of the most suitable automotive manufacturing company is challenging due to the multi-dimensional nature of the evaluation process and the existence of subjectiveness and imprecision in the decision making process. To effectively deal with this decision making problem, this paper presents a fuzzy multicriteria decision making method for evaluating the sustainability...
This paper formulates the selection of high-technology project alternatives as a multicriteria group decision making problem, and presents a group decision making method for effectively solving the high-technology project selection problem under hesitant fuzzy environment. Hesitant fuzzy set is used to deal with the conditions where the decision makers hesitate among several values in evaluating the...
Cloud computing is a prospering model which provides superior information technology services through the introduction of flexible and on-demand services, but the adoption rates are low because of the poor level of performance provided by the cloud computing service providers. This paper formulates the performance evaluation of cloud computing providers as a multiattribute group decision making problem...
This paper formulates the selection of renewable energy alternatives as a multiattribute decision making problem and formulates a fuzzy multiattribute decision making method for selecting the most suitable renewable energy alternative for meeting the interests of the stakeholders. The vagueness and imprecision of the decision making process is adequately handled by using intuitionistic fuzzy numbers...
The development of smart transport systems has proven to be crucial for cities around the world due to their capabilities to respond to challenges of rapid urbanization and growing traffic congestion. However, there is still a lack of research done on the comparative performance evaluation of those smart transport systems. Benchmarking is therefore necessary for comparing the performance of smart...
Hydropower is recognized as one of the most important clean and renewable energy choices which fuel the overall societal development by contributing a notable proportion of sustainable energy to the whole global power generation. Although much attention has been paid to the development of hydropower plants, few of them attempted to study the sustainability performance of the available hydropower project...
Non Communicable Diseases (NCD), mainly caused by imbalanced diet, such as type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular diseases are increasing. At the same time, Food Away From Home (FAFH) consumption is on the rise. Menu items include categories and sub-categories, and each menu item has five or more critical nutrients to be evaluated such as calorie, cholesterol, saturated fat, sodium, fiber and others....
Electronic waste (e-waste) is found not only the fastest growing waste streams but also contains a range of hazardous substances. Due to the hazardous material substances, these e-wastes may cause environmental problems if they are not treated, managed or recycled properly. Therefore it is crucial that the appropriate e-waste recycling company is selected to carry out the best available treatment,...
Wastewater poses major environmental and health issues to countries around the world. Therefore, ensuring proper wastewater treatment is essential for the protection of human health and environmental sustainability. To achieve the most effective wastewater treatment, there is a need to consider the appropriate technology for development and implementation. The process of evaluating and selecting the...
This research paper develops a new method for assessing the effectiveness of learning and teaching technologies and selecting the most suitable learning and teaching technology for development in higher education. The relevant evaluation criteria are provided as a valuable reference for higher education institutions in establishing a standardized means of selecting the most suitable learning and teaching...
This research work demonstrates a performance-based approach to evaluate the quality performance of group buying websites under uncertainty. Linguistic variables are assigned with values using triangular fuzzy numbers approach for effectively modeling the vagueness and imprecision of the decision making process. An effective algorithm grounded on the deviation degree and absolute area of a fuzzy number...
Electronic retailing is redefining the way retailers have been conducting business by paving way to reach a global audience. Successful electronic retailing is dependant upon all aspects of the shopping experience, including the usability of the retailers' website. This paper outlines the state of electronic retailing and gives an overview of Internet adoption in Australia and its use for online shopping...
