“…Koganti et al (2019) applied a hybrid MCDM method of GRA-AHP-TOPSIS for supplier selection problem. Marzouk and Abdelakder (2019) used weighted sum model (WSM), COP-RAS and TOPSIS method to minimize the environmental emissions in construction projects and also proposed that these three methods provide the best ranking of the alternatives.…”

“…COPRAS (Zavadskas et al, 2008) and ARAS (Zavadskas & Turkis, 2010;. Many researchers adopted these two techniques and used it as a decision making tools to solve problems in different areas like environmental issues (Marzouk & Abdelakder, 2019), education (Das et al, 2012), agricultural problems (Iisik & Adali, 2016), vendor selection (Chatterjee and Bose, 2013a;madic et al, 2014) etc. but very few works has been reported that these methodologies is being utilized for solving the decision problems associated with our daily life and the selection of electronic gadgets e.g.…”

The main objective of this research article is to select the best mobile model among various alternatives available on the market. For this analysis 10 alternative models from different brands are selected from different online shopping website having different specifications and ranging from low budget to medium budget in terms of price. For this selection purposes two multiple criteria decision making tools (MCDM) has been adopted i.e. Complex Proportional Assessment (COP-RAS) and Additive Ratio Assessment (ARAS). The selection process is done based on four important criteria i.e. price, internal storage, RAM and brand. The weightages of the criteria are calculated by using Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and these weightages are further used in COPRAS and ARAS methods. Individual COPRAS and ARAS method is applied for the selection of the best mobile and the preference ranking order of the models are also proposed by each process. The proposed ranking order by both the methods are compared and it is found that the outcome results are more or less the same using both techniques but there is a slight change in ranking of the middle-order alternatives. Both processes give model 1 and model 4 as the best and the worst models respectively among 10 alternatives.

The paper presents an extended VIseKriterijumska Optimizacija I Kompromisno Resenje (VIKOR) method for solving group decision-making problems. The uncertainties given in the data are handled with the help of the intuitionistic fuzzy valued neutrosophic values (IFVNVs), which allow decision-makers to carry more detailed information while providing their preferences in the imprecise environment. The proposed VIKOR method utilized the features of IFVNVs and computed the distance measures between their pairs using L p -metric and L ∞ -metric. The weights of the different criteria are computed by using the entropy-based measures for the families of IFVNVs. The presented method has been illustrated with a numerical example. A comparative interpretation and the sensitivity analysis of the parameter associated with the technique are achieved to reveal their influences.

Goal: the main objective of this research paper is to select the best laptop model among 6 models actually available in the market by applying multiple criteria decision making methodology (MCDM) on the basis of a physical market survey and opinions of 100 people specially consists of students. Since, choosing an appropriate laptop model among thousands of different available models is quite a challenging task for the students. Design / Methodology / Approach: for this present analysis, a combined approach of analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and weighted product model (WPM) is developed. Where, AHP is used to calculate the criteria weightages and WPM is used to choose the best option and to rank the alternatives. The selection process is done based on the following seven important criteria of the laptop i.e. processor, hard disk capacity, operating system, RAM, screen size, brand, color. Results: The final outcome result shows that Model 5 is the best choice among these 6 models followed by Model 3 and Model 2 whereas model 4 is the worst one among them. The specifications of the best laptop model 5 among this group are having I5 processor, 1TB hard disk capacity, windows operating system, 8GB RAM, 15.6-inch display, HP brand and color silver. Limitations of the investigation: Since the weightages calculation and the final ranking mainly depends on the structure of the pair-wise comparison matrix (shown in Table 5) and the decision matrix (shown in Table 8), so the final results may vary based on the opinion of the other decision maker. Moreover, if the same problem is solved by applying other MCDM tools, the final output results may or may not be same. Practical implications: From this present research work, students who are willing to buy a laptop can get a general guideline about the best laptop model and their specifications in the present market. Moreover, the laptop manufacturing companies can also get some ideas about the present market scenario since this analysis is based on the actual market survey which can help to frame their future strategies. Originality / Value: Although, many literatures have been recorded related to the applications of MCDM tools in solving different decision making problems in different areas but very limited research work have been done in solving our daily life decision problems by applying MCDM.
