“…This method can visualize the structure of complicated causal relationships through matrixes or digraphs [15,16]. Because of its advantages and capabilities, the DEMATEL has been widely applied in various fields, such as emergency management [9,17,18], supply chain management [19][20][21], waste management [22,23], quality function deployment [24], failure mode risk analysis [15,25], re-distributed manufacturing [26], and sustainability performance assessment [27,28].…”

Performance analysis is of great significance to increase the operational efficiency of healthcare organizations. Healthcare performance is influenced by numerous indicators, but it is unrealistic for administrators to improve all of them due to the restriction of resources. To solve this problem, we integrated double hierarchy hesitant fuzzy linguistic term sets (DHHFLTSs) with the decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL) and proposed a DHHFL– DEMATEL method to identify key performance indicators (KPIs) in healthcare management. For the developed approach, the judgments of experts on the inter-relationships among indicators were represented by DHHFLTSs, and a novel combination weighting approach was proposed to obtain experts’ weights in line with hesitant degree and consensus degree. Then, the normal DEMATEL method was extended and used for examining the cause and effect relationships between indicators; the technique for the order of preference by similarity to the ideal solution (TOPSIS) method was utilized to generate the ranking of performance indicators. Finally, the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed DHHFL–DEMATEL approach were illustrated by a practical example in a rehabilitation hospital.

The role of Information Technology based decision models for sustainable agriculture has gained immense prominence in recent years. Ranking of agriculture farms based on their yield plays a vital role in sustainable agriculture. In this work, an ensemble decision-making model, namely VIKOR (Vlsekriterijumska Optimizacija I Kompromisno Resenje), TOPSIS (Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to an Ideal Solution), entropy, and standard deviation (VTOPES), is proposed for ranking the sustainable sugarcane farms. VTOPES system model comprises of four significant steps: (i) determination of significance scores of the sub-parameters, (ii) transformation of sub-parameter sequences into main parameter values, (iii) computation of significant scores of main parameters, and (iv) generation of assessment values and deploying it for ranking the sugarcane farms. The ranking results of the proposed VTOPES model are compared with the ranking patterns obtained from five years average yield data acquired from the selected sugarcane farms. Moreover, the outcomes of the VTOPES model are also compared with other prevalent methods. Subsequently, Spearman’s rank correlation method is applied for evaluating the impact of correlation of VTOPES ranks in comparison with the average yield ranks. Thus, it can be noticed that the empirical results of the VTOPES model provide reliable and sustainable results. Therefore, it suffices to be a sustainable decision model for any problem where multiple parameters are involved.

“…Some other works consider sustainable operations (Duman et al 2018), risk assessment (Yilmaz 2008) and investment decisions (Tsai, Chou, and Hsu 2009). The Agricultural area (Figure 2.10) embraces sustainable frameworks to improve land and coastal conditions (Mohammadi, Najafi, and Ahmadlo 2015;Parra-Lopez et al 2008;Sajedi-Hosseini et al 2018) or to develop operations through some practices, (Yang and Liu 2012) improving the supply chain (Chauhan et al 2019) or using new technology (Reig, Aznar, and Estruch 2010). The Extraction/mining sector is aimed at selecting a best timber extraction method (Jaafari, Najafi, and García-Melón 2015) and to assess green supply chain practices (Kusi-Sarpong, Sarkis, and Wang 2016; Raut et al 2018).…”
