“…Wang et al (2022) [37] evaluated the flood risk related to 14 lines and 268 stations of the Guangzhou Metro in China via the fuzzy AHP method; the analyzed results determined that lines 3, 6, and 5 had the utmost overall risk level. Sahin and Kulakli (2023) [38] applied the fuzzy AHP method to define the weights of criteria during the evaluation of websites of four renowned universities in Türkiye that specialize in open education. The fuzzy AHP is a valuable tool to assess and rank criteria, and can evaluate the weights of criteria to recommend a feasible solution to improve and increase the operational performance of a particular object.…”

In the context of economic development and international economic integration, Vietnam’s logistics industry is developing to meet market demands for the transportation of goods; thus, many logistics enterprises have been formulated and expanded in recent years. This research aims to measure the efficiency of logistics enterprises and recommend a feasible solution to improve their future performance by integrating a super slack-based measure model (super-SBM) in data envelopment analysis and fuzzy analytic hierarchy processes (fuzzy AHP) in multi-criteria decision-making. The super-SBM model was utilized to conduct the efficiency scores of logistics enterprises from 2016 to 2022 based on calculating the ratio between input and output variables; the empirical result determined each enterprise’s effectiveness and ineffectiveness. Next, the fuzzy AHP method evaluated and ranked criteria that directly impacted the operational process of logistics enterprises based on experts’ opinions; the examined result suggested a feasible direction to improve future business efficiency. The proposed hybrid models are a helpful solution for efficiency determination and determining the development direction for logistics enterprises. An overall picture of the logistics enterprises was also drawn to describe their operational business process.

“…When the literature is screened, it is seen that the fuzzy AHP method has a wide application area. Among these applications, the "shipping registry selection" [41], "supplier selection" [42,43], "evaluation of open and distance education websites" [1], "performance evaluation" [44], "evaluating machine tool alternatives" [45], "the evaluation of e-service quality in the airline industry" [46], "determining best teaching method" [47], "integrated Quality Function Deployment methodology for hazelnut production" [48], "evaluating teaching performance" [49], "hospital site selection" [50], "selecting the suitable bridge construction method" [51], and "renewable energy dissemination program evaluation" [52] can be mentioned.…”

The airline sector is critical in today’s globalized society, supporting the efficient movement of people and products worldwide. Airlines continuously seek methods to enhance their operational performance to remain competitive in the face of increased competition. This study focuses on the application of multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) techniques to improve the ground operational performance of low-cost carriers (LCCs), also known as low-cost (budget) airlines. In recent years, MCDM techniques have gained considerable attention in addressing complex decision problems with complex goals. This research aims to bridge this gap by proposing a comprehensive framework combining MCDM techniques to enhance airline operational strategies and increase performance. The study utilizes qualitative and quantitative data, drawing on previously published materials on MCDM techniques in the aviation sector. It utilizes a fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and a fuzzy Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) methodologies. A case study is conducted to evaluate the ground operational performance of three airline companies based in Türkiye, considering five main criteria and eighteen sub-criteria. The findings of this research will contribute to a comprehensive understanding of operational performance in the airline sector. The study’s findings show that five primary criteria’s estimated weights are examined; it is seen that “Flight Schedule and Routes (FSR)” has the highest importance weight of 0.30. With a weight value of 0.26, “Counter Services (CS)” has the second most significant impact. “Ticketing (T)”, which ranks third in terms of its impact on the solution, has a weight value of 0.19. Upon reviewing the analysis’s findings, it can be seen that the third alternative is relatively prominent among the others. Airline_3 ranked first with a weight value of 0.361, while Airline_2 ranked second with a weight value of 0.331. Airline_1 ranked last with an actual weight of 0.308. The study provides highlights of the implications and limitations of the research and suggests future research directions.

This research considers the application of a multi-criteria approach to assess the quality of textbook content. The issues of determining evaluation criteria and organizing the work of experts are brought to the fore, as these factors directly affect the objectivity and efficiency of the evaluation process. The definition of criteria consisted of reviewing common mistakes and comments on the quality of textbooks, forming a preliminary and final list of criteria. The organization of the work of the experts consisted in the development of a platform with the introduction of a multi-criteria approach. As a result, 39 criteria were formulated and proposed, grouped into 10 main sections such as “Structure and organization”, “Content”, “Didactic aspects”, “Methodological aspects”, “Language level”, “Psychological and psycholinguistic aspects”, “Cultural and Value Aspects”, “ICT Integration”, “Differentiation Aspects”, and “Layout and Design”. The work of experts in the developed expert system is described, which helps in making a decision. The implementation of the multi-criteria approach in this expert system is the main contribution of the research work, which helps to improve the process of evaluating textbooks. The paper presents the results of the survey among 44 experts that helped to identify the most significant criteria which affect the evaluation a textbook. The paper presents the results of the survey among 44 experts that helped to identify the most significant criteria which affect the evaluation a textbook. Moreover, the base of allowed errors was formulated for the following types: for illustrations, QR codes, for texts, for the language of presentation, technical errors, content errors, errors for multimedia objects.
