“…Changes in the preference and indifference thresholds also were considered for a second sensitivity analysis. The sensitivity analyses aim to test the relative stability of the results of ELECTRE IV (Benzohra and Noureddine, 2017), supporting the final validation of the results obtained from both the suppliers' and contractors' perspectives.…”

Purpose Understanding the relational factors in information technology outsourcing (ITO) processes is essential for managers to exercise successful governance over their relationship. Based on this premise, this paper aims to present a study about relational factors using judgments of managers from small and medium-sized supplying and contracting companies involved in ITO relationships, helping to understand the differences between what they believe to be relevant for maintaining the relationships. Design/methodology/approach The analytical approach consisted of applying fuzzy sets theory elements, converting the managers' judgments into crisp values through a defuzzification process, and the multicriteria method ELECTRE IV that created the rankings of the relational factors according to the defuzzified judgments. The approach was applied with 16 managers from supplying companies and 34 from contracting companies, in both cases located in a large Brazilian pole of information technology. Findings The main findings indicate that suppliers are initially more concerned with contractual aspects, being in the highest positions in the ranking: detailed contract, service level agreement and costs. Only after these elements, suppliers prioritize aspects less linked to the contract. For contractors, customer relationship management is the most important, followed by costs and commitment by managers, which indicates more openness to issues-oriented to relational development. Originality/value The approach adopted in this article is differentiated by prioritizing relational factors that are not always directly perceived in ITO relationships. Another important consideration is that most studies focus only on the perspective of supplier selection by contracting companies. In this paper, both suppliers' and contractors' judgments on the importance of ITO relational factors were analyzed, creating rankings that supported understanding the difference between the two perspectives.

Nowadays, Multiple criteria decision making (MCDM) techniques are widely used to solve decision problems. In this study, current usage of two of the outranking-based MCDM techniques, namely ELECTRE (ELimination Et Choix Traduisant la REalité) and PROMETHEE (Preference Ranking Organization Method for Enrichment Evaluations), is examined in detail. In order to find the usage of those mentioned techniques, the scientific studies carried out in 2016 and the first four months of 2017 are investigated via Google Scholar. For this reason, it is aimed that by showing the contemporary trends of ELECTRE and PROMETHEE, the results will create an understanding of how the techniques might be used in the future. The survey of the studies shows that the application areas of ELECTRE and PROMETHEE have a great diversification. The studies on the two techniques show that the researchers made some adjustments on ELECTRE and PROMETHEE in order to answer the problems posed in their research questions. A specially, in this study, it has been seen that some remarkable modern methods were included in the problem solving process such as to evaluate according to different scenarios, usage of metaheuristics for complex decisions, hesitant fuzzy implementations, proliferation of group decision preference, an increase on hybrid techniques, the change in the number of software used, big data usage, sensitivity analyses and finally two linguistic approaches taking an importance in fuzzification. Keywords:Multi Criteria Decision Making, ELECTRE, PROMETHEE, Literature Review ELECTRE ve PROMETHEE'nin Güncel Uygulama Alanları: Bir Alanyazın Taraması ÖZGünümüzde çok kriterli karar verme (ÇKKV) teknikleri, karar problemlerinin çözümünde oldukça yaygın olarak kullanılmaktadır. Bu çalışmada ÇKKV tekniklerinin üstünlük tabanlı sınıfında yer alan ELECTRE (ELimination Et Choix Traduisant la REalité) ve PROMETHEE'nin (Preference Ranking Organization Method for Enrichment Evaluations) güncel kullanım alanları incelenmiştir. Bu bağlamda 2016 yılı ve 2017 yılı ilk dört ayında gerçekleştirilen çalışmalar Google Scholar yardımıyla taranmıştır. Böylelikle ELECTRE ve PROMETHEE'nin gelişimindeki son durumun ortaya konulması ve gelecekteki uygulama biçim ve alanları hakkında fikir verilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Tarama neticesinde, ELECTRE ve PROMETHEE'nin uygulama alanlarının çok çeşitli olduğu görülmüştür. Bu çalışmalarda, araştırma probleminin çözümüne yönelik ELECTRE ve PROMETHEE'nin tasarımında değişiklikler yapıldığı tespit edilmiştir. Ayrıca senaryo farklılaşmalarına göre değerlendirme yapılması, metasezgiseller ile karmaşık karar problemlerinin çözülmesi, kararsız bulanık uygulamalarının yaygınlaşması, grup kararı tercihinin artması, hibrit tekniklerin uygulama sayısının fazlalaşması, kullanılan yazılımlar, büyük verilerle çözümleme yapılması, duyarlılık analizleri, bulanıklaştırmada iki dilsel yaklaşımının önemli yer edinmesi dikkat çekici sonuçlar olarak tespit edilmiştir.

A reverse supply chain is viewed as a process from consumption point to recovery point and the management of domestic waste is considered as a specific and complex reverse supply chain. This important sector represents a high challenging problem for our cities, constrained by financial, social, health and environmental considerations. This paper proposes multicriteria decision aid to help choose an efficient domestic waste management strategy. In fact, Multicriteria decision making techniques are considered as a key option to solve this type of problems, giving a solution that represents a good compromise between different preferences. The adopted approach consists in outranking a set of candidate management plans using a method based on partial aggregation criteria. This model is applied on a real case study of an Algerian city and to validate the obtained results, a deep sensitivity analysis is carried out, giving the most appropriate plans.Growing Science Ltd.
