“…Although traditional ANP methodology (Saaty, 1996) addresses some unreasonable conditions found in the use of AHP -that is, by relaxing the assumption of relationships found between criteria (Kheybari et al, 2020) -it is still being questioned. Due to users of ANP briefly assuming that the diagonal matrix is equal to the zero matrix and the weighted super-matrix (as obtained by using equal weights - Tzeng & Shen, 2017;Peng & Tzeng, 2019;Lin et al, 2021), ANP methodology is facing a challenge in its ability to compare internal and external dependencies in pairs (Gölcük & Baykasoĝlua, 2016).…”

Identifying relevant location determinants is a good starting point for shop operators, help to increase profitability and, thus, avoiding business failure. Traditional Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) or the Analytic Network Process (ANP) have shortages that require improvement. Herein, Decision-Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL), ANP based on DEMATEL (DANP), and modified Vlse Kriterijumska Optimizacija I Kompromisno Resenje (modified VIKOR) are used to construct a hybrid multiple-attribute decision making (MADM) model, encompassing three dimensions and thirteen criteria in exploring the location determinants of Asia’s unique Bubble Tea Shops (BTSs) and to evaluate three preselected alternatives in Nanjing, China. The empirical findings of the DEMATEL method reveal that traffic traits (D1) and site traits (D2) are critical to BTSs, and that once these are enhanced, shop traits (D3) are also improved. Criteria deemed as important, based on the DEMATEL and DANP methodology, are (in descending order): proximity to a street corner (C2), proximity to public transportation systems (C1), road width (C3), proximity to communities (C5), proximity to commercial areas (C6), types of shop (C9), and proximity to schools (C7). Different decision-making rankings among alternatives are indicated based upon the modified VIKOR method and corresponding strategies for improvement are presented.

“…ANP represents the most preferred Multi-Criteria Analysis (MCA) method for modelling dependence and feedback with more than a thousand papers recorded in SCOPUS database since 2005 (Gölcük, Baykasoğlu 2016). Kheybari et al (2020) provides an extensive overview of ANP-based publications. In ANP applications, it is assumed that the network structure of the problem is known a priori, but in reality, the decision maker cannot form the problem structure easily.…”

Evaluation of the Innovative Value Proposition for the Rail Freight Transport: An Integrated Dematel–anp Approach

et al. 2021

Freight transport represents a very dynamic and competitive market with high requirements for reliability, lead time, cost, flexibility and visibility of transport service. Rationalization of transport service, reduced travelling time and reliable delivery times represent the main prerequisites for lowering the costs and increasing the efficiency of entire transport chain. These performance indicators actually represent the main factors affecting the shipper’s mode choice. Improvement of these factors could be achieved by improved coordination between rail and non-rail-related stakeholders involved in freight transport service planning and realization. Since this solution requires a multi-stakeholder collaboration, it is needed to evaluate the interests of each of them in order to derive a preferred set of indicators, which will facilitate a collectively accepted solution and value alignment of all involved actors. In this paper, the preferred set of indicators was selected by using the DEcision MAking Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL) model technique integrated with the Analytic Network Process (ANP). DEMATEL is applied to analyse the causal relationships among the relevant dimensions and among the criteria within each dimension. The causal relationships are then used in ANP for determining the weights of the criteria. An empirical case study based on implementation of information sharing platform in rail intermodal transport chain is presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach. Based on this study the attributes that belong to reliability (“departing / arriving on-time”, “cancelled services”), lead time (“idle time”) and investment cost (“organizational culture”, “business process redesign”) dimensions represent five the most critical factors for obtaining a collectively accepted solution. This effective evaluation model enables policy makers and stakeholders in transportation / logistics to understand and conduct appropriate actions towards fulfilling the objectives for greener transportation.

“…The Analytic Network Process (ANP) is a special method of the wide set of multi-criteria analysis methods (MCA). ANP is often used to analyze complex issues related to the decision-making process, due to its power to deal with qualitative and quantitative attributes and to identify the relationships between decision elements [51][52][53]. It is recognized as a generalization of the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) [54][55][56].…”

“…ANP is recognized as a suitable decision-support tool, able to face those decision problems characterized by high level of interactions and interdependences between the elements. It is employed to analyze those issues which cannot be structured hierarchically [51][52][53]57]. However, the literature on the implementation of an ANP in the assessment of urban transformation strategies is not vast [61].…”

During the last decade, the concept of urban resilience has been increasingly implemented in urban planning, with the main aim to design urban development strategies. Urban resilience is a multi-dimensional and dynamic concept. When applied to urban planning, it consists of studying cities as complex socio-economic systems. Municipalities are currently working to undertake appropriate actions to enrich the resilience of cities. Moreover, several difficulties concern the evaluation of the impacts over time of the strategies designed to enhance urban resilience. The present paper proposes an integrated approach based on the System Dynamics Model (SDM) and the Analytic Network Process (ANP). The objective of this research is to describe the method and to illustrate its application to the area called Basse di Stura, located in the city of Turin, Italy. The method is applied to evaluate the possible impacts of two different urban scenarios in terms of the change of urban resilience performance over time. The final result is represented by an index that describes urban resilience performance.
