“…They had been selected three options (replacing 2 stroke 2 wheelers by 4 stroke 2 wheelers, converting conventional fuel cars into CNG cars and Converting conventional fuel buses into CNG buses) with the view of different actors. An interesting observation this study is that the priority ranking would be almost reversed with the inclusion of qualitative criteria in the decision making process which might explain the reasons for the failure of many potential alternative urban transport options.Ludmil Mikhaillov and Madan G. Singh, fellow, IEEE proposed a fuzzy extension of the analytic network process (ANP) that uses uncertain human preferences as input information in the decision making process [18]. They developed a new fuzzy preference programming method, which obtains crisp priorities from inconsistencies interval and fuzzy judgments applied.…”

“…Although ANP has wide applications, it is still limited by its inability to deal with incomplete data or human subjective analysis during the pairwise comparison stage. However, there is existing literature discussing the above problem and proposing approaches such as Fuzzy ANP [28] and integration of ANP with DEMATEL [27] to reduce modeling difficulty and influence of subjective rating during the pairwise comparison stage. Modeling and analysis of sustainable supply chain management contains complex interactions that correspond to structural dependency.…”

Abstract:With increasing globalization and international cooperation, the importance of sustainability management across supply chains has received much attention by companies across various industries. Companies therefore strive to implement effective and integrated sustainable supply chain management initiatives to improve their operational and economic performance while also minimizing unnecessary damage to the environment and maintaining their social reputation and images. The paper presents an easy-to-use decision-support approach based on multiple-criteria decision-making (MCDM) methodologies that aim to help companies develop effective models for timely decision-making involving sustainable supply chain management strategies. The proposed approach can be used by practitioners to ultimately build a comprehensive Analytic Network Process model that will adequately capture and reveal all the interrelationships and interdependency among the elements in the problem, which is often a very difficult task. To facilitate and simplify this complex process, we propose that hierarchical thinking be used first to structure the essences of the problem capturing only the major issues, and an Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) model be built. Users can learn from the modeling process and gain much insight into the problem. The AHP can then be extended to an Analytic Network Process (ANP) model so as to capture the relationships and interdependencies among the elements. Our approach can reduce the sustainable expertise, effort and information that are often needed to build an ANP model from scratch. We apply our approach to the evaluation of sustainable supply chain management strategies for the fashion industry. Three main dimensions of sustainability-environmental, economic and social-are considered. Based on the literature, we identified four alternative supply chain management strategies. It was found that the Reverse Logistics alternative appears to be the recommended solution by the AHP model. However, the Socially Leagile Supply Chain is recommended by the ANP model, thereby demonstrating the necessity and importance of considering interdependencies in the model.

“…Los modelos utilizados para hacer un análisis del proceso de decisión contribuyeron con un 8% (Analytical Study) y un 12% (Survey Methodology). Fuzzy Analytical Network Process (Mikhailov & Singh, 2003) con (10%) y Decision Primitives con (4%) completan la clasificación de los estudios por modelo. Por lo tanto, es posible ver que la mayoría de los estudios utilizaron AHP o PROMETHEE como modelo de análisis de decisión, pero ninguno de ellos los utilizó juntos, tratando de captar las ventajas de cada modelo y evitar los inconvenientes.…”

Resumen: En este artículo se aplica un protocolo de revisión sistemática de Ingeniería de Software para la decisión en la selección de proveedores de Tecnologías de la Información (TI). El objetivo es la búsqueda de documentos relacionados con la toma de decisión en la selección de proveedores de TI. Además, la revisión sistemática se centra en identificar las iniciativas y los informes de la toma de decisión en la selección de proveedores de TI. Los resultados obtenidos demuestran que existe una necesidad de más estudios y definen 16 criterios de evaluación para utilizarse en la selección de proveedores de TI.Palabras clave: Selección de Proveedores; Análisis de Decisiones; Outsourcing; Revisión Sistemática.Abstract: This paper applies a Systematic Review protocol for Software Engineering to IT outsourcing supplier selection decision. The objective is to search for papers related to IT outsourcing supplier selection decision. Furthermore, the systematic review is focused in order to identify initiatives and reports of IT outsourcing supplier selection decision proposals. Results obtained show that there is a need for more in-depth studies.
