Applying Fuzzy PROMETHEE Method for Evaluating IS Outsourcing Suppliers

Abstract. This paper presents a Z-PROMETHEE with Z-numbers as a new representation of vague information for a facility location selection (FLS) problem. The selection of a facility location, which is a kind of a multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) problem, should be considered from a strategic point of view. In a real-world situation, MCDM problems are generally under uncertainty. In order to overcome such a problem, fuzzy sets can be applied with the PROMETHEE to allow experts to combine inadequate information into the decision method. However, the fuzzy PROMETHEE also has some defects. The main problem is that the certainty of information is not taking into account. For explanation of real-life information, fuzziness and degree of the certainty of information are indispensable. In the proposed method, Z-numbers are used to evaluate the weights of the criteria. Hence, in comparison with the fuzzy model, the PROMETHEE with a Z-number (i.e., Z-PROMETHEE) can symbolize real life problems more realistically.

In this paper, an alternative version of the fuzzy PROMETHEE (Preference Ranking Organization Method for Enrichment Evaluations) method is proposed. Differently from other studies, preference functions used in PROMETHEE method are handled in terms of fuzzy distances between alternatives with respect to each criterion. In order to indicate the applicability of this method, it is applied for a supplier selection problem in the literature. Ranking results are similar obtained by TOPSIS (Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution) and fuzzy ELECTRE (ELimination Et Choix Traduisant la REalité) methods. The implementation of the proposed method indicates that the amount of computations is decreased and decision makers can easily reach to desirable solution.

Tourism is currently very potential to be developed as a source of local income by providing information both online and offline to the community so that regional income increases. Bali is one of the tourist destinations in Indonesia which is visited by many local and foreign tourists. The island of Bali has many interesting sights consisting of natural attractions, royal festivals, culinary tours, traditional markets, and museums. There are many criteria that must be considered, so through this recommendation system, tourists can find out what places are in Bali they will visit. One of the problems of decision making with many criteria and attributes in the selection of attractions is to provide detailed decisions that refer to the scale of weight possessed. Decision support systems provide priority results of attractions that are suitable for every traveler. Traveling is very important because with tourism we can eliminate fatigue due to activity during the day. The selection of the right tourist attraction also affects this, so it is necessary to choose the right tourist attraction. This study focused on the application of multi-attribute decision making (MADM) to decision support systems (SPK) using preferred organizational methods for enrichment and evaluation (Promeethe). When a traveler fills out a questionnaire, he must be consistent with the answers to get the best results based on his willingness and characteristics. This research uses descriptive analysis method that presents a summary of the results of surveys and interviews of tourists who want to choose Bali tourist attractions according to costs, security, natural beauty, facilities, and infrastructure and location.
