“…Here, 10%, 15%, and 20% of the minimum value have been set for each criterion, respectively. Note that C7 is the only criterion considered with real values instead of intervals (q = p = 0) because it comes from the normalization of social impacts obtained through qualitative scales [39]. Table 12 includes the results with the rankings of alternatives in the AHP and ANP with ELECTRE IS combinations.…”

“…Table 3 provides the criteria involved in the assessment and a description of the impact it represents. The resulting impacts on the economy, the environment and society have been calculated for each alternative following the evaluation method proposed by Sánchez-Garrido et al [39], sharing the same product system provided in the present case study.…”

The analytic network process (ANP) is a discrete multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) method conceived as a generalization of the traditional analytic hierarchical process (AHP) to address its limitations. ANP allows the incorporation of interdependence and feedback relationships between the criteria and alternatives that make up the system. This implies much more complexity and intervention time, which reduces the expert’s ability to make accurate and consistent judgments. The present paper takes advantage of the usefulness of this methodology by formulating the model for exclusively quantitative variables, simplifying the decision problem by resulting in fewer paired comparisons. Seven sustainability-related criteria are used to determine, among four design alternatives for a building structure, which is the most sustainable over its life cycle. The results reveal that the number of questions required by the conventional AHP is reduced by 92%. The weights obtained between the AHP and ANP groups show significant variations of up to 71% in the relative standard deviation of some criteria. This sensitivity to subjectivity has been implemented by combining the ANP-ELECTRE IS methods, allowing the expert to reflect the view of the decision problem with greater flexibility and accuracy. The sensitivity of the results on different methods has been analyzed.

“…In this case, the contractor's expertise is very demanding to be able to develop mitigation of performance failures. So that through the EVM method the contractor can predict the value of CPI and SPI to see project performance and ensure that the work continues according to the targets set by the stakeholders [18].…”

A toll road is one of the economic growth facilities of a country, Indonesia in the last seven years has succeeded in building 1900 km and one of them is Trans-Java. The Gempol-Pasuruan section-2 toll road project is a densely populated route and there are many intersections in the form of roads and rivers so there are many overpass or underpass structures in the project. Although the bridge structure is a sub-project of the main road, if the productivity does not perform well, it will have a significant impact on the overall progress. Therefore, this study wants to analyze the multiple impacts of one of the critical works of the bridge project, such as the pilling work on the total toll road progress through the earn value management (EVM) method. EVM is a technique that is quite popular both among practitioners and academics; however, analysis of complex projects (main projects-sub projects) has never been carried out in-depth and it will be a unique challenge in this study. There are four steps in this research, the first step is project scheduling in which the engineer can use the previous database to prepare the work breakdown structure (WBS), work sequences, and project duration. The second step is the critical path process, at this stage, a slack analysis is carried out for each activity, and setting a network diagram to generate critical paths for the toll-bridge project. Resource management is the third step that involves a lot of documents from the market and internal databases, starting with assigning resources, inputting quantity and unit prices, and doing the leveling process so that the supply chain runs well. The last step is the earn value process, at this stage, the engineer only needs to input the project progress, set the baseline, and finally get the earn value project and project performance index consisting of SPI (schedule) and CPI (cost). Finally, after going through several stages of research, it has been proven that the pilling work is on a critical path and several scenarios must be carried out to maintain its productivity. Then, the average SPI value is 0.94 < 1, while the SPI value is 1 which means that the Gempol-Pasuruan section-2 toll road project is experiencing delays and is within the project budget. In conclusion, the application of the EVM method on MS. Project 2013 is able to evaluate complex projects well and several potential technologies can also be considered in further study to improve the performance.

This study defines key issues for sustainable healthcare policy in COVID-19 period. For this purpose, 9 different criteria that affect vaccine hesitancy are selected with the help of a detailed literature evaluation. A novel hybrid fuzzy decision-making model is developed using DEMATEL and TOPSIS based on q-Rung orthopair fuzzy sets. A comparative evaluation has also been performed using IF DEMATEL and PF DEMATEL. The results of all different methods are almost the same that indicates the reliability and coherency of the proposed model. The findings demonstrate that religion is the most critical factor that causes vaccine hesitancy. It is also defined that active population in daily life is the most important alternative. Developing countries should mainly focus on the actions regarding the religious issues to have sustainable healthcare policies in COVID-19 period. In this context, religious leaders can be released to the media and give information that the vaccine is not against religious rules. This has a significant contribution to convince people who are against the vaccine. Furthermore, these countries should also give priorities to the active population in daily life. Because this group supports the workforce in the country very seriously, it can be possible to increase the workforce in the country by completing the vaccination of this group that helps to boost economic development.
