“…The principal assumption of direct weighting is that the criteria are preferentially independent; therefore their contribution to the total weight is independent [19]. The paired comparison method [20] and the fuzzy ordering method [21] are usually suitable for complex ranking order problems. It is more suitable for decision making problems when the alternatives are quite competitive and interdependent to each other.…”

“…Construction needs to drive towards a focus on whole-life cost reduction rather than capital cost reduction, and findings from Mevellec and Perry (2006) and Wang (2011), among others, note the importance of whole-life costing. Furthermore, it was highlighted that standardised solutions need to have embedded agility in their uses so that they can adapt.…”

Owner operators are managing and maintaining their infrastructure assets. In addition, depending on the national economic activity, they are being reactive or proactive in their response against uncertainty. Findings from this study showed that improvements can be achieved if the concept of future-proofing (FP) of assets -as a structured approach against uncertainty -becomes more explicitly defined. FP is the holistic process of taking security measures against uncertainty and being proactive throughout the organisation and its assets. In combination with information management, it ensures that asset management (AM) strategies will become responsive to a number of future changes in requirements. In this context, it is asserted that both FP and Building Information Modelling (BIM) suffer from a dearth of identification in the context of AM. Through a case study, this paper presents an approach that helps clients to future-proof AM at a strategic level. Furthermore, governance agendas for FP and BIM capabilities for future-proof information have been identified that owner operators and the supply chain can find useful.

“…In reality, decision-making is a more complex than just a straight forward process. Good decision-making requires taking into consideration multiple criteria and balancing the long-term impacts (Wang, 2009;Wang et al, 2009). The measures described below are some of these measures, among which the first and second measures are about coal supply; the third concerns emissions standards; and the rest of them focus on power plant management.…”
