..., and finally, ranked all design concepts by the Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS). Findings The results indicate that the proposed approach is an objective and effective solution for representing individual differences and reducing the impact of group heterogeneity...

..., infrastructure challenges, environmental concerns, technical limitations, socio-cultural factors, institutional barriers and financial constraints. In this study, these barriers have been prioritized using AHP and TOPSIS, indicating financial constraint as the most important, followed by environmental concerns...

... quantum fuzzy decision-making model. The study processed the criteria with the facial expression-based Quantum Spherical fuzzy DEMATEL and ranked the alternatives with the facial expressions-based quantum spherical fuzzy TOPSIS. Four factors were determined due to a comprehensive literature review...

... are unbalanced; Then the generalized grey number is adopted to describe the value of performance evaluation index; and the information entropy weight is used to obtain the index weight to reduce the artificial judgment error; Finally, the generalized grey information entropy weight TOPSIS evaluation model...

...Chunxia Yu; Yi Leng; Jing Li; Jiacheng Yu Purpose This paper aims to propose a novel blockchain crowdfunding projects evaluation approach using extended techniques for order preferences by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS) under fuzzy environment. Design/methodology/approach By analyzing...

... of preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS) methods. Design/methodology/approach In the proposed approach, the ANN model is used to classify decision maker’s risk attitude; the fuzzy AHP method is used to determine the relative weights of evaluation criteria; and the fuzzy TOPSIS method is used...

... a specific one. Furthermore, the rankings achieved by the utilized methods and TOPSIS (technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution) are compared by Spearman’s rank correlation coefficient to validate the resource allocation plan. The findings indicate that the DEA–NBS method has the best...

...-compensatory decision rules. In the hybrid approach, TOPSIS is adopted to evaluate performances of suppliers with respect to economic, environmental and social aspects, respectively. As the original ELECTRE method cannot sort the whole rank of alternatives, an improved ELECTRE method which can sort the whole...

... should be taken by considering the relative weight of factors. With this purpose in mind, ARC alternatives are evaluated on the basis of three factors which are environmental aspect, safety concerns and manufacturing efficiency factors by using TOPSIS (Technique for Order Preference by Similarity...

... process (AHP) and modified digital logic (MDL) techniques are used to determine the weights of criteria. The banks are ranked by fuzzy TOPSIS (FTOPSIS) and fuzzy VIKOR (FVIKOR). Using a combination of these techniques, four methods, namely, AHP-FTOPSIS, AHP-FVIKOR, MDL-FTOPSIS and MDL-FVIKOR, are obtained...

...Reza Alibakhshi; Mohammad Reza Sadeghi Moghadam Purpose The purpose of this paper is to consider compromise solutions of multiple attribute decision-making methods (TOPSIS, VIKOR, and similarity-based approach) in order to evaluate and rank mutual funds and to compare the capabilities of different...

... solution (TOPSIS) as the basic framework, the proposed method incorporates all three sustainability dimensions – economic, environmental and social – to establish a threshold below which an organization is considered to have failed a sustainability test. In Addition, an introduction of a time-independent...

...Ming Li Purpose – The purpose of the paper is to develop a model for the selection of knowledge management system (KMS), in which the assessment criteria are defined and the TOPSIS method with multiple distances in fuzzy environment is proposed. Design/methodology/approach – First...
