“…In addition, free e-teaching platforms (A5) and recruitment of skilled teachers (A1) affected e-teaching the least, which is supported by study [8]. For differences, conducting in-person classes on alternating days (A8) ranked in the third position, while in [45], it was in first place. Furthermore, Dwivedi et al [52] indicated that the recruitment of skilled teachers (A1) and the effective utilization of resource (A4) alternatives are less essential.…”

“…Theoretically, e-teaching is regarded as a highly complex method of teaching that includes several interdependent criteria and alternatives. Consequently, Olugu et al [45] presented study models that failed to account for ranking these criteria. Therefore, this study proposed a methodology involving a combination of Fuzzy-Delphi-TOPSIS.…”

Evaluating E-Teaching Adoption Criteria for Indian Educational Organizations Using Fuzzy Delphi-TOPSIS Approach

Due to advances in information and communication technology, e-teaching has become increasingly popular and is in high demand by educational organizations. During the lockdown period of COVID-19 especially, e-teaching provided prior solutions to address the pressing need for monitoring students’ learning progress. However, in many developing countries, it is apparent that a wide variety of issues are related to e-teaching adoption. Although the implementation issues associated with e-teaching have been addressed in the existing research literature and in practice for many years, from the available research, the evaluation of e-teaching adoption criteria and ranking using fuzzy theory has been ignored. Therefore, the present research aims to evaluate and rank the criteria for e-teaching adoption through Fuzzy Delphi and Fuzzy TOPSIS. A total of four criteria and twelve sub-criteria for e-teaching adoption were determined based on a systematic literature review and professors’ opinions in India. In addition, the Fuzzy Delphi method was employed to finalize the criteria, and the Fuzzy TOPSIS method was employed for ranking the alternatives. The assessment results showed that among the identified alternatives, the “share the technology with other organizations” and “course integration with technology” were the top-ranked alternatives for improving e-teaching adoption. An understanding of these conceptual alternatives can encourage the adoption of e-teaching in educational organizations.

“…Despite the fact that MCDM methods have been largely applied in literature to deal with the evaluation of both sustainability indicators (Li et al, 2020) and general maintenance issues (Ahmed et al, 2021;Benítez et al, 2019), such authors as Olugu et al (2021) notice as limited research has been produced on maintenance decision-making as a driver for sustainable management. To the best the authors' knowledge, an ANP-based approach evaluating the influence of sustainability factors for the prioritisation of maintenance interventions has never been proposed for optimising such critical systems as industrial water distribution networks.…”

This work aims to analyse the role played by relevant sustainability factors towards the implementation of maintenance interventions in the manufacturing industrial sector. In this context, we focus on industrial water distribution systems, on whose effective work depends the functioning of core plants as well as general industrial facilities. In detail, we propose a Multi-Criteria Decision-Making (MCDM) application based on the use of the Analytic Network Process (ANP) as a methodological way to prioritise maintenance interventions while considering the influence of some of the most relevant sustainability factors identified in literature. The main advantage of such an approach consists in the elaboration of a flexible maintenance procedure for companies based on a well-known and reliable multi-criteria application. The novelty of our work refers to the development of a structured link between sustainability factors and maintenance management of industrial water distribution systems, something that is fundamental in manufacturing but also in other fields of application.

“…SFS improves decision-making over its predecessors by making it more intelligent (comparable to human judgment), which can lead to a decision-making process that is more accurate when evaluating options. Because of this benefit, SFS has lately been used in a variety of applications, including location selection [43,44], renewable energy evaluation [45], supplier selection [46][47][48][49], systems management [50][51][52][53][54][55][56], technology evaluation [57], and strategies selection [58].…”

The COVID-19 pandemic has implications for the container shipping industry and global supply chains. Measuring the efficiency of major international container shipping companies (CSCs) is an important issue that helps them make strategic decisions to improve performance, especially in the context that all businesses and governments are adapting to build back better the post-pandemic world. This paper develops a new integrated approach using both a qualitative assessment tool and a performance assessment tool as a systematic and flexible framework for evaluating the container shipping industry. This new methodology is implemented in two phases to consider both qualitative and quantitative criteria for assessing the performance of CSCs based on efficiency. In the first phase, qualitative performance evaluation is performed using spherical fuzzy analytical hierarchical process (AHP-SF) to find criteria weights and then the grey complex proportional assessment methodology (COPRAS-G) is used to find the ranking of CSCs. Qualitative variables are converted into a quantitative variable for use in the data envelopment analysis (DEA) model as an output called an output variable called expert-based qualitative performance (EQP). Then, DEA is performed to identify efficient and inefficient CSCs with the EQP variable and other quantitative parameters (i.e., capacity, lifting, expenses, revenue, and CO2 emissions). The efficiency of 14 major global CSCs is empirically evaluated, and the scores for CSCs’ efficiency in all dimensions are measured and examined. The results show that the average cargo efficiency of the CSCs is lower than their eco-efficiency performance, revealing the operational disruption caused by the pandemic. Moreover, by identifying efficient and inefficient CSCs, our findings provide practical implications for decision-makers in the maritime field and assist in modifying applicable policies and strategies to achieve sustainable performance.
