“…They considered a sample of 22 people. The number of experts in the previous studies has been at least over 10 ( Kumar et al., 2017 ; Fang et al., 2019 ; Raj and Sah, 2019 ; Wu et al., 2019 ). If the participants are homogeneous, at least a total number of 10–15 experts would be sufficient ( Asgharpour, 2010 ).…”

One of the main factors in the success of projects is communications management and proper and timely distribution of information among all internal and external project stakeholders. Despite of emphasizing on the importance of project communications in the literature, there are few studies identifying factors influencing project communications. This research aims to address this shortcoming by identifying and determining sequences and relationships factors affecting project communications and their clustering. The informed communication strategy allows managers to structure the information flow in a better and more controlled manner and to avoid the costs caused by lack of effective and timely communication. The present study is conducted to help clarify the views of the organization's managers and project managers on project communications, and to identify factors affecting it and how they effectively communicate to successfully accomplish the projects. First a number of factors influencing project communications are identified on the basis of previous studies and interviews with experts and project managers working in oil, gas and power plant construction megaprojects in Iran. Then, these factors are analyzed by using the combination of fuzzy DEMATEL and Interpretive Structural Modeling (ISM) techniques. The relationships and sequence between the indicators are determined so that it can be effective in project communications planning and project success through providing an insight for senior managers and project managers.

“…For that reason, there are numerous efforts to improve the efficiency of the realization of delivery activities, by applying modern systems based on the use of drones and autonomous robots. However, it is possible to identify some critical success factors and barriers that arise during their implementation [6], [7]. Additionally, depending on the territory where the implementation of these systems is planned, it is necessary to analyze and select its appropriate technical characteristics, primarily the type of drone and autonomous robots [34].…”

“…In light of the increasing importance of LMD and the associated high costs, air pollution, and logistical challenges, research on sustainable LMD is highly trending and dynamic. Numerous LMD modes have emerged such as autonomous delivery robot [2], [3], cargo bicycle [4], [5], drone [6], [7], e-cargo bike [8], [9], mobile parcel locker [10], [11], mobile post office [12], postomates (i.e., stationary parcel lockers) [13], [14], traditional approach (i.e., courier performs LMD using a traditional road vehicle) [15], [16], tube transport [17], etc. Introducing sustainable LMD mode in the system is of the highest interest, not just for the logistics industry, but also for authorities, citizens, and inter-related business entities.…”

Picture Fuzzy Decision-Making Approach for Sustainable Last-Mile Delivery

et al. 2020

In light of the increasing importance of last-mile delivery (LMD) and the associated high costs, air pollution, and logistical challenges, research on sustainable LMD is highly trending and dynamic. The selection of sustainable LMD mode is an emerging problem for decision-makers in the logistics industry. The key question is how to determine the best LMD mode from a set of alternatives under numerous criteria with ambiguous, vague, and uncertain sustainability-related information. This paper aims to provide an advanced decision-making approach for sustainable LMD. Firstly, 20 sustainable LMD mode evaluation criteria are identified. Secondly, picture fuzzy sets (PFSs) are exploited to help decision-makers to more naturally express their preferences by voting. Thirdly, a hybrid picture fuzzy criteria weighting method based on the Direct rating and R-norm entropy is developed to compute the importance of evaluation criteria. Fourthly, a novel picture fuzzy Combined Compromise Solution method is formulated to rank alternative LMD modes. Fifthly, the presented picture fuzzy approach for sustainable LMD is implemented in the real-life decision-making context. The results show that "e-cargo bike" is the best alternative in the Pardubice context. The comparative analysis with three state-of-the-art PFS-based MCDM methods approved the high reliability of the provided approach. The sensitivity analyses of the trade-off parameter and balancing factor confirmed the high robustness of the presented approach. The introduced approach can help decision-makers in the logistics industry to elucidate sustainable LMD mode. It can solve not only the highlighted problem but also other MCDM problems under the picture fuzzy environment.

“…2012-13'ten sonra, ordudaki uygulamaların yanı sıra, insansız hava araçları ticari olarak da giderek daha fazla kullanılmaya başlanmıştır (Luppicini ve So, 2016). Askeri operasyonların yanı sıra, dronların geniş uygulama alanlarından biri de, loistik alanındadır (Agatz, Bouman, ve Schmidt, 2018;Bamburry, 2015;Dorling, Heinrichs ve Messier, 2016;Murray ve Chu, 2015;Raj ve Sah, 2019;Yurek ve Özmutlu, 2018). Dronların diğer kullanıldığı alanlar ise: elektrik hatları, petrol ve gaz borularının hava denetimi, arama kurtarma operasyonları gibi hava denetimi ve izleme görevleri (Silvagni, Tonoli, Zenerino ve Chiaberge, 2017); sivil ve inşaat uygulamaları (Ham, Han, Lin ve Golparvar-Fard, 2016; Mohamedve diğ., 2020); sağlık alanı (Kim, Lim, Cho ve Côté, 2017); tarım sektörü (Malveaux, Hall ve Price, 2014); kamu güvenliği ve emniyeti (He,Chan ve Guizani, 2017); madencilik (Lee ve Choi, 2016; Yücel ve Yücel 2017); görüntüleme ve insani yardım operasyonları (Sandvik ve Lohne, 2014); kablosuz sensör ağları (Ho, Grøtli, Sujit, Johansen ve Sousa, 2015); habercilik (Budak, 2019)…”

Dronlar; profesyonel olarak tasarlanmış kameraların dahi çekemediği fotoğraf ve video görüntülerini çekebilme özelliğine sahip uzaktan kontrol edilebilen pilotsuz hava araçlarıdır. Askeri uygulamalar, fotoğrafçılık, ölçüm, haritalama, güvenlikarama kurtarma, bilim ve araştırma, tarım, inşaat, gazetecilik ve gösteri dünyası, spor, seyahat, pazarlama gibi birçok alanda kullanılan dronların kullanım alanlarına göre farklı özellikleri bulunmaktadır. Bununla birlikte kullanım amacına uygun dron seçimi birbiriyle çelişen birden fazla kriteri içinde barındıran bir Çok Kriterli Karar Verme (ÇKKV) problemidir. Bu çalışmada, dron seçimi yapabilmek için ÇKKV tekniklerinden birisi olan Kemeny Median Indicator Rank Accordance-Modified (KEMIRA-M) yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Çalışma kapsamında 6 farklı dron alternatifi ele alınmış ve bu alternatifler kamera, kontrol mesafesi, uçuş süresi, ağırlık, fiyat, estetik, kullanılabilirlik olmak üzere 7 farklı iç ve dış kritere göre 5 karar verici tarafından değerlendirilmiştir. İç kriterler içerisinde en önemli kriter; kamera kriteri olarak belirlenirken, dış kriterler içinde en önemli kriter kullanılabilirlik kriteri olarak tanımlanmıştır. R1 alternatifi ise en uygun dron alternatifi olarak ortaya çıkmıştır. Bu çalışmanın, KEMIRA-M yöntemi ile farklı teknolojik cihazların seçilmesi için fayda sağlayabileceği düşünülmektedir.
