“…In this study, the resources and time to perform the survey and process the collected data were limited, and therefore it was decided to use the standard version of TOPSIS, which is based on crisp numbers. The classical TOPSIS analysis is popular between researchers in decision-making developed through the following steps [49,50]:…”

Analyzing and designing how service is provided to the customer is crucial for sustainable supply chains in services. In this respect, there can be barriers to applying sustainable improvements due to regulations, practices and customer culture. This study is focused on finding the waste produced by the service of one of the biggest payment service provider (PSP) companies in Iran and how to meet the essential needs of the sustainable supply chain. It has been observed that using thermal papers as a biohazardous material causes environmental problems and even it is hazardous to mix them with normal paper waste in the recycling process. Moreover, preventive maintenance of the thermal printers itself causes a huge number of unnecessary shuttles between the customers and service suppliers, which represents a source of CO 2 emission, traffic-especially in the capital-and high maintenance costs for the company. Three main alternatives to the thermal paper receipt were analyzed and ranked by means of a TOPSIS (Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution) model, which employed the sustainability pillars and the technical point of view as evaluation criteria. The priorities against the set of criteria were obtained by means of surveys, which targeted a sample of customers and a pool of experts. The results highlighted that customers' habits and legislation are the most important barriers to the transition to a more sustainable service.

“…Similarity to the Ideal Solution originally proposed by Hwang and Yoon in 1981 [5] has remained one of the most widely used MCDM methods with so many papers published on its applications and in several different field of study including Accounting [26], Management [27], Agriculture [28], Chemical science [29], Design [30], Business [31], Engineering [32], Health and medicine [33], etc. However, due to some of its limitation, many different improvement and modifications have been proposed and applied, prominently among them is the M-TOPSIS model by Ren et al, in 2007 [6].…”

SummaryThis paper presents a reliable, easy and more objective approach for ranking and determining preference in a multi-criteria decision-making problem within the shipping industry. Through the integration of the improved score function, fuzzy Shannon's entropy method and the interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy M-TOPSIS method, for ranking and for representing the aggregated effect of positive and negative evaluations in the performance ratings of the alternatives based on interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy set (IVIFS) data. The integration of the improved score function, fuzzy Shannon's entropy method and the intervalvalued intuitionistic fuzzy M-TOPSIS method in this paper has provided a whole new approach for solving multi-criteria decision-making problems. The improved score function which is applied to the calculation of the separation measures of each alternative from the positive and negative ideal solutions. Reflect and model the fuzziness and hesitation of the decision-maker subjective assessment, while the fuzzy Shannon's entropy method is been used for calculating the criteria weight. The proposed method has successfully been applied to rank and determined the most appropriate shipping partner for a shipping company located in Malaysia, and for a modified hypothetical example which is based on the selection of a preferred Ship as a reference for a new design. The model has been compared with existing model and we can conclude, it provides a better alternative method for ranking and for the determination of preference in a multi-criteria decision-making problem.

“…The design of most complex products and systems like crane vessel, diesel engines etc., are mainly done by redesigning or making changes on existing predecessor designs until all new arising requirements are met (Smith et al 2012; Romli and Harmin 2015). The main goal of any product redesigning exercise is to create new products and systems that meet the customer requirements as well as the product reliability.…”

“…To improve the product reliability and quality during the product redesigning phase, and to create that novel product(s) for the customers, deliberate effort must be made to identify and analyze the failure information of the existing product (Yang et al 2011; Smith et al 2012) by consulting the historical failure data of the product, where the analyzed information will be used for building appropriate design knowledge for the design engineer(s). The identification of the failed product component is most critical to achieving an improved product quality (He et al 2015).…”

In identifying to-be-improved product component(s), the customer/user requirements which are mainly considered, and achieved through customer surveys using the quality function deployment (QFD) tool, often fail to guarantee or cover aspects of the product reliability. Even when they do, there are always many misunderstandings. To improve the product reliability and quality during product redesigning phase and to create that novel product(s) for the customers, the failure information of the existing product, and its component(s) should ordinarily be analyzed and converted to appropriate design knowledge for the design engineer. In this paper, a new intuitionistic fuzzy multi-criteria decision-making method has been proposed. The new approach which is based on an intuitionistic fuzzy TOPSIS model uses an exponential-related function for the computation of the separation measures from the intuitionistic fuzzy positive ideal solution (IFPIS) and intuitionistic fuzzy negative ideal solution (IFNIS) of alternatives. The proposed method has been applied to two practical case studies, and the result from the different cases has been compared with some similar computational approaches in the literature.
