Performance assessment modeling for managing transport enterprises based on modified fuzzy TOPSIS analysis

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to develop a performance assessment modeling for managing transport enterprises and provide a framework that explains the conditions under which performance of enterprises optimized. In doing so, the multiples streams built upon the different stakeholders and shareholders as well as social actors play in the transport enterprise performance optimization. The novelty of this paper is the development of a computational modeling framework addressing the added value footprint by large transport operators providing mobility and accessibility to a regional economy. The analysis outputs promoting explanations towards operational efficiency and business productivity on one hand; and supporting decisions toward sustainable development, business intelligence and new investments on the other. The assessment methodology is based on "Fuzzy TOPSIS" modelling, where a series of key performance indicators have been introduced, providing results over time to assess business innovation and illustrate drivers of action towards sustainable development and business intelligence. Managerial implication of the paper is the development of a multi-objective assessment framework providing essential support for managing real business applications in transportation and support decisions towards resources optimization, adjustments in cooperate governance model and policies, assessment of new investments and short-term or/and long-term action plans.

A Two-Stage Integrated Model for Supplier Selection and Order Allocation: An Application in Dairy Industry

“…This work uses the TOPSIS method and fuzzy logic to address this shortcoming. Fuzzy TOPSIS method has been developed and conducted in many applications like renewable energy and Landfill site selection (Sengul et al 2015;Beskese et al 2015), reliability and risk evaluation in process industry (Gopal and Panchal, 2021), Modeling performance assessment for managing transportation businesses (Dimitriou and Sartzetaki, 2022), Optimizing investment decision making (Cao and Xu, 2022) to name a few. In this paper, the rating of criteria and corresponding weights are considered as linguistic variables, as shown in Figures 1 and 2 (2) From the Eq.…”

Mapping sustainable practices and concepts in the transportation ecosystem for the EU-27 countries, based on LinkedIn company profiles

“…Usually, long-term planning is incorporated into the design of large-scale infrastructure projects. Therefore, it is necessary to integrate suitable infrastructural facilities from the start of the project in order to ensure its long-term viability (Bueno et al, 2015;Newman, 2015;Dimitriou and Sartzetaki, 2022b). These preventative measures to safeguard their facilities help to build infrastructure that will be resilient to climate change and other extreme weather events (Dimitriou and Sartzetaki, 2022c).…”

A Conceptual Framework for Developing Intelligent Services (a Platform) for Transport Enterprises: The Designation of Key Drivers for Action

“…One of the most difficult challenges in developing integrated intelligent tools for the transportation sector is dealing with the unexpected and significant shift in economic output that can occur as a result of unforeseen events. Developing integrated intelligent tools for the transportation sector is a major challenge, and it is one of the most difficult challenges to overcome [10]. For example, fluctuations in oil and energy prices, spikes in inflation, currency rates, mobility restrictions, and border/visa policies can all have an impact on demand in small or large regions, and in some cases, entire economic systems, as was the case for the Eurozone during the COVID-19 pandemic in the early 2020s.…”
