The majority of Junior Secondary School (JSS 3) students find it extremely challenging to select the most appropriate subject area for Senior Secondary School 1(SSS 1) due to diverse conflicting decision criteria such as friends and parents' influence in the decision-making process. The decision problem is extremely important for the students and the society at large because making the wrong choice may negatively affect the students' academic performance at the senior secondary school level and the tertiary school level. To assist students in making the appropriate choice for their future career development a decision support system based on the VIKOR method is presented. The technique has substantial mathematical calculation and to make the use of the tool simple it was implemented in PHP programming language. The decision support system software was tested with an example of a JSS 3 student transiting to SSS1 subject area selection problem. Three alternative subject areas: science, social science, and art are considered. The performance of the three subject areas was evaluated with respect to five decision criteria: student academic performance, parents influence, student interest, career prospect, and friends/peers' influence. The result of the analysis showed that science is the best subject area for the student. The developed software is flexible as it can solve multicriteria decision problem with numerous alternatives and decision criteria. The decision support system software was further validated by using it to analyse a decision problem in the literature previously solved with a TOPSIS based license software. The analysis showed that the decision support system software produces the same result as the TOPSIS based license software.

“…The individual ratio is raised to the power equivalent to the relative weight of the corresponding criterion. 50 WPM can be used in single- and multi-dimensional decision-making problems. Another advantage of the WPM is the ability to use relative values instead of the actual value.…”

The productivity of shell and tube heat exchangers are governed by various geometrical parameters like tube diameter, tube thickness, tube length, tube pitch, tube layout, installation area and baffle spacing of the heat exchanger. The operational efficiency of heat exchangers is highly influenced by the characteristics of heat exchanger parameters. The exchanger efficiency gets trapped due to many incongruities’ effects like over-pressure, bio-fouling, chemical fouling and corrosion. The selection of optimum design configuration is essential to achieve higher operational efficiency for a heat exchanger. But the performance and reliability of the optimization process play a key role in selecting and deselecting significant and insignificant parameters, respectively. So, cognitive selection of parameters and henceforth a reliable optimization process is required to identify optimal design for a heat exchanger. Moreover, economic factors also contribute to attain a consolidated yield result for a heat exchanger. This research proposes an optimal configuration with the help of ensemble output obtained by multi-criteria decision making and nature-based optimization algorithm. It has been found that exchange efficiency in optimal configuration is boosted by 22% from prototype heat exchanger.

“…It was first proposed by Hwang and Yoon (1981) and further developed by Yoon (1987). Under this method, the best alternative has the shortest distance from the positive ideal solution (PIS) and the farthest from the negative ideal solution (NIS) (de Farias Aires and Ferreira 2019; Štirbanović et al 2019;Rana and Patel 2020). TOPSIS method has a number of advantages such as (Mohd Khairuddin et al 2015;Rana and Patel 2020): (1) ability to identify the best alternative fast; (2) simple, rational and comprehensive concept, rationality and comprehensibility; and…”

In the real estate sector, sustainability assessment tools enable the transition to buildings with lower impacts on the environment, the economy and the society. A variety of multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) methods has been proposed to address this problem. There is, however, no consensus on the method to be used in each assessment case. The paper presents an empirical application and comparison of two different MCDM approaches SAW (Simple Additive Weighting) and TOPSIS (Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to an Ideal Solution) to assessing the sustainability of a real estate project. 18 sustainability criteria weighted by experts formed the basis of sustainability assessment of a real estate project. The results of the study revealed a significant difference between the ranks obtained by SAW and TOPSIS. Moreover, the results of the MCDM sensitivity analysis showed that the TOPSIS method is more sensitive to changes in baseline data than the SAW method.
