There is a problem of inherent inconsistency when forming pairwise comparison matrices in both classical and fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process. The smallest decision making element of fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process is square, positive, fuzzy reciprocal matrix 3x3, and this paper focus to the research on fuzzy numbers' similarities regarding the consistency check of fuzzy matrix 3x3. The research is performed using Java application created specifically for this purpose. The application, for the selected fuzzy scale, forms all 3x3 matrices, for each matrix calculates all similarities values relevant for consistency check, average similarity and determines the minimal similarity value. The application calculates CR (consistency ratio) values for corresponding classical matrices. Research results are presented and future research suggested.
The paper is focused to the facilities layout problem formulated as a problem of fuzzy multicriteria (multi attributive) decision making. The goal is to develop a model for evaluation and selection of solution from Pareto set of solutions (facilities layout alternatives) applying theory for fuzzy sets and fuzzy logic in multicriteria logistics decision. Decision criteria are selected and grouped according to the logistics objectives, meaning levels of logistics decision making (strategic, tactical and operational level). The decision making problem is structured to decision hierarchy and Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy process is implemented, which by its essence best corresponds to the problem and the context of decision making, so as to the number and type of selected criteria. The new model is created and tested on a concrete example.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
