“…The current work is limited to one objective (energy consumption) and therefore the future work for the authors is to focus on multi-objective optimization of both the manufacturing (surface roughness and tool life) and environmental aspects (Lam, 2015) of the milling process simultaneously by using the robust genetic algorithms.…”

Agricultural sector plays a very important role for the economies of the countries. It satisfies food needs of the people, provides raw materials to the industry sector and decrease unemployment rate and current account deficit problem. However, agricultural sector has some structural problems, such as periodic income, but continuous costs and need for modern and expensive machines. Because of these problems, agricultural producers should obtain necessary finance in order to increase their competitive powers. Banks are important institutions providing financial sources to agricultural producers to be effective in agricultural sector while minimizing the problems of producers. Based on the issues in the field, this study aims to identify the performance of Turkish banks regarding agricultural sector. Within this scope, we analyzed the performance of state-owned, privately-owned and foreign banks in Turkey separately. In this study, ANP (analytic network process) and ELECTRE (elimination and choice translating reality) methods have been used in order to achieve the objective of this study. As a result of this analysis, it was determined that with respect to net superior values, privately-owned banks have the greatest value in comparison with other banking groups. On the other hand, regarding net inferior values, foreign banks have the best performance. These two results show that state-owned banks do not have the highest performance. This situation identifies that the popularity of agriculture sector increased very much in Turkey so that privately-owned banks and foreign banks started to give more importance to this sector.

“…There are some examples in the literature of combining the ANP and QFD methods, in a conventional form (e.g., [24,33]), or in a fuzzy environment (e.g., [34]), as well as examples of applying the fuzzy Delphi based fuzzy ANP (fuzzy DANP) method (e.g., [26]) for solving various problems. There are also examples of combining the Delphi method (e.g., [35]), as well as some other multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) methods with the QFD in the fuzzy environment (e.g., [36]).…”

“…As the conventional QFD method is not able to adequately interpret the ambiguity of thinking and expressing the preferences of decision-makers, one of the solutions is to integrate the fuzzy logic with the QFD method in order to increase the accuracy and objectivity. In recent years, the conventional or fuzzy QFD method is successfully applied to solve the problems in various fields (e.g., [22][23][24]). The Delphi method is [25] is based on the collection of data from the participants' field of expertise with the aim of achieving the consensus through a series of questionnaires.…”

Planning an Intermodal Terminal for the Sustainable Transport Networks

et al. 2019

Growing competition in the global market imposes the need for adequate planning of transportation processes and development of intermodal transport networks, whereby intermodal terminals play a key role. This paper proposes a methodology for prioritization of the intermodal terminal's development features, as the procedure in its planning process, leading to the design of the intermodal terminal in accordance with the needs of various stakeholders and the principles of the sustainable development. As the stakeholders often have conflicting interests and objectives, it is necessary to consider a broad set of requirements and developmental features that enable the fulfillment of the defined requirements. In order to solve the problem this paper proposes a new hybrid multi-criteria decision-making model that combines Delphi, Analytical Network Process (ANP) and Quality Function Deployment (QFD) methods in the fuzzy environment. The applicability of the proposed model is demonstrated by solving an example of planning an intermodal terminal in Belgrade.Sustainability 2019, 11, 4102 2 of 20 gained substantial attention in recent years, in academic research (e.g., [5,6]), as well as in practice. For example, the European Union set the goals to shift 30% of the road freight transport over 300 km to other, more environmental friendly means of transport (such as rail and waterborne), by the year 2030, and more than 50% by 2050 [7]. These goals can be achieved only by more intensive development of the intermodal transport.One of the major subsystems of the intermodal transport is intermodal terminal representing the place of storage and transshipment of intermodal transport units between the different modes of transport [8]. Intermodal terminals play a significant role in achieving socio-economic and environmental sustainability [9], and their development has an impact on improving the competitive advantage in the market [10]. Accordingly, requirements, goals and needs of different stakeholders, such as investors, owners, operators of the terminal, terminal users, authorities and residents, have to be in taken into consideration in the process of intermodal terminal planning. Their demands are often conflicting; therefore, a solution that should fit all actors involved is the goal in the planning process. Thus far, the research in the area of intermodal transport planning focused mainly on finding the optimal location for intermodal terminals (e.g., [11][12][13]) or how to improve operational efficiency of inland intermodal terminals [14][15][16]. However, the research related to solving the intermodal terminal planning problems taking into consideration variety of methods is rather scarce. Papers dealing with terminal planning are mainly focused on the intermodal transport network planning or the selection of terminal location. Therefore, the purpose of this paper is to define a methodology that comprehensively examines the different stakeholders' requirements based on which it defines and prioritizes development features ...
