Construction is an area of study wherein making decisions adequately can mean the
difference between success and failure. Moreover, most of the activities belonging to this …

A large number of problems in production planning and scheduling, location, transportation,
finance, and engineering design require that decisions be made in the presence of …

The main characteristics of the real-world decision-making problems facing humans today
are multidimensional and have multiple objectives including eco nomic, environmental …

Fuzzy set theory was first developed for solving the imprecise/vague problems in the field of
artificial intelligence, especially for imprecise reasoning and modelling linguistic terms. In …

In this paper, we review some fuzzy linear programming methods and techniques from a
practical point of view. In the first part, the general history and the approach of fuzzy …

In the previous chapter, we have discussed a variety of computationally efficient approaches
for solving crisp multiple objective decision making problems. However, the input data, such …

This paper first presents a brief survey of the existing works on comparing and ranking any
two interval numbers on the real line and then, on the basis of this, gives two approaches to …

We formulate some questions that may help an analyst to choose a multicriteria decision
aiding method well adapted to the decision context. These questions take into account …

Multiple criteria decision making (MCDM) shows signs of becoming a maturing field. There
are four quite distinct families of methods:(i) the outranking,(ii) the value and utility theory …

In this paper, a method is suggested to solve the nonlinear interval number programming
problem with uncertain coefficients both in nonlinear objective function and nonlinear …
