The aim of the research is comparison between average order picking times obtained using the analytical model and simulation methods for shared storage systems. We also compare the results obtained with the results obtained for dedicated storage. We assume the random and ABC-class storage (with within and across aisle storage policies). We select the locations by means of the TOPSIS method for two take-out strategies: quantity adjustment (QA) and priority of partial units (PPU). We determine the route by using s-shape and return heuristics. In most cases, the simulated average order picking times are shorter than the analytical ones. It results from not considering the criteria’ weights in calculation of the analytical order picking time. Also, the results for shared storage with QA strategy are in most cases better than for dedicated storage. This might imply an advantage of shared over dedicated storage, but needs further confirmation.

Because of the COVID-19 situation, selection for a teaching assistant position to get a TA scholarship in a university in Thailand needs to be performed online by the formed committee. Due to the online process and the limited number of scholarships offered by the university, beyond the face-to-face interview, multiple-criteria decision analysis can help to select a proper student. In this study, we use the extended VIKOR method with fuzzy numbers to help committees to select the students from the applicants. The criteria and the weights of the criteria are provided with the help of committees. Both trapezoidal and triangular linguistic variables are used to find the solution and to observe the range of the possible result. The different weights supporting the strategy of maximum group utility are varied to detect the potential alternatives. The ranking results are also compared with the one obtained from the TODIM approach to illustrate the appropriate alternative.

The concept of energy in graphs and matrices is used effectively in all application areas. The energy of the matrix is an extension of graph energy. The usage of the energy idea in neutrosophic matrices makes it more flexible and applicable in multi-criteria decision-making environments. In this paper, we propose the energy approach in neutrosophic matrices with interval values. We determined the given energy’s upper and lower bounds. The energy is used of the interval-valued neutrosophic matrix to address the MCDM problem. A new strategy has been introduced called the interval-valued neutrosophic energy method to solve this problem. We look at the problem of choosing a qualified manager for a business project. A team of professionals in the company evaluates the options using neutrosophic numbers with interval values, and the energy method is then used to calculate the result. The result has been compared with the TOPSIS method results to show that the outcomes are similar.

Almost ten years have passed since some seminal structured literature reviews about multi-criteria decision-making for green supplier selection were published. We aimed to investigate the evolution of intellectual structures in this field through a structured literature review and bibliometric analysis using publications between 2010 and 2022. We noted that mathematical and analytical approaches are still dominating, and the complexity of the methods has increased. Bibliometrically, their theoretical foundation and techniques are the same despite the change of leading papers over time. Our contribution consist in extending earlier studies and discussing the evolution of the field.

Multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) is one of the most popular problems handled by researchers in the literature. Since the interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy set (IVIFS) theory generates as realistic as possible evaluation of linguistic expressions, researchers have been expanding traditional MCDM methods to the IVIF environment, especially in the last decade. This study provides a literature review of the relevant articles from several academic databases on applications of IVIF-MCDM methods. The review of 131 publications addresses specific research questions. To understand the research publication trend, this review offers a visual analysis that examines the studies from different perspectives, such as application areas, IVIF-MCDM methods, citations, most relevant journals, and validation methods. One of the most remarkable results of the literature review is that most publications in this field are published in SCIE indexed journals. Another noteworthy issue is that China is the country that produces the most articles in this field. In addition, English journals are mostly selected for the publication of articles. While it is seen that the investment selection problem is chosen mostly as the application area, the TOPSIS method is preferred mostly in the applications. This study stands out as the most comprehensive one that compiles publications containing extended traditional MCDM methods for IVIF sets. This review will be an important reference for future researchers and decision-makers involved in advancing MCDM methods considering vagueness and ambiguity.

The study aims to develop a decision-making framework by integrating queuing theory and multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) tools, namely TOPSIS, EDAS, CoCoSo, and TODIM to select a roll-over car washing machine for an oil station. The queue, technical and financial characteristics of the alternatives are added to the decision-making process. The decision matrix includes five criteria and five alternatives. One million weight sets are created randomly, and MCDM techniques are applied to interpret the results statistically. Results indicate that Alternative 3 is statistically superior to the others. The proposed procedure can help decision makers to make decisions when expert knowledge isn’t available, and it can be applied for other purposes by making small changes.

The paper is concerned with multi-criteria decision-making under uncertainty with scenario planning. This topic has been explored by many researchers since almost all real-world decision problems contain multiple conflicting criteria and a deterministic evaluation of criteria is often impossible. We propose a procedure for uncertain multi-objective optimization which can be applied when seeking a pure strategy. A pure strategy, as opposed to a mixed strategy, allows the decision-maker to select and perform only one accessible alternative. The new approach takes into account the decision-maker’s preference structure (importance of particular goals) and nature (pessimistic, moderate or optimistic attitude towards a given problem). It is designed for one-shot decisions made under uncertainty with unknown probabilities (frequencies), see decision-making under complete uncertainty or decision-making under strategic uncertainty. The novel approach can be used in the case of totally independent payoff matrices for particular targets.

Background: The electrical and electronics sector has become one of the rapidly developing and growing sectors, as a result of technological and economic developments. Rapid changes in consumer demands and needs have increased the use of electrical and electronic equipment and shortened product life cycle, resulting in an increase in equipment waste. Therefore, recovery alternatives for electrical and electronic equipment waste should be considered subject. The aim of this study is to evaluate the recovery alternatives of electrical and electronic wastes and to determine the best. Methods: Multi-criteria decision-making techniques used to select the best among multiple alternatives have many application areas. The selection of recovery alternatives based on criteria includes some fuzzy topics. For this reason, the fuzzy logic approach was used to evaluate the answers of the decision makers and the fuzzy numbers obtained were analyzed by PSI method and criterion weights were determined and alternatives were listed. Results: According to results of analysis, social responsibility and environmental awareness criteria have the highest values for selecting recovery alternatives. In addition, remanufacturing, regeneration and recycling take the first place among the alternatives. Conclusions: Recovery of electrical and electronics waste is an important subject in current conditions. Alternative methods vary from reuse to incineration, but correct choice of recovery techniques rely on multi criteria and decision should be made adhering to them.

Wstęp: Przemysł elektryczny i elektroniczny to gałęzie przemysłu o dużej dynamice wzrostu i rozwoju, będącej wynikiem rozwoju technologicznego i ekonomicznego. Gwałtowne zmiany popytu i potrzeb konsumentów wpłynęły na wzrost zapotrzebowania na sprzęt elektroniczny oraz skróciły cykl życia produktu, co w efekcie doprowadziło do zwiększenia ilości odpadów sprzętowych. Dlatego też istotnie jest zajęcia się tematyką odzyskiwania części ze zużytego sprzętu elektrycznego i elektronicznego. Celem pracy jest ocenienie metod odzyskiwania elementów ze zużytych sprzętów oraz wybór najlepszej z tych metod. Metody: W wielu obszarach stosuje się techniki wielokryterialne podejmowania decyzji w celu dokonania wyborów pomiędzy różnymi alternatywami. Wybór metody odzyskiwania w oparciu o kryteria obejmuje zagadnienia modeli rozmytych. Z tego też powodu, zastosowano logikę rozmytą do oceny odpowiedzi osób decyzyjnych a uzyskanie liczby rozmyte zostały poddane metodzie PSI, w wyniku której uzyskano kryteria ważone jak i listę alternatyw. Wyniki: Na podstawie uzyskanych wyników stwierdzono, że kryteria odpowiedzialności i świadomości ekologicznej mają najwyższą wartość przy selekcji metod odzyskiwania. Dodatkowo, najczęściej wybieranymi metodami były: przerób, regeneracja oraz recykling. Wnioski: W istniejących obecnie uwarunkowaniach, odzyskiwanie elementów ze zużytego sprzętu elektrycznego i elektronicznego jest bardzo ważne. Metody alternatywne obejmują całą paletę od ponownego użycia do spalenia, jednakże prawidłowy wybór stosowanej techniki odzysku powinien opierać się na wielokryterialnym procesie decyzyjnym.

TOPSIS is a well-known approach applied to multi-criteria decision-making under certainty (M-DMC). However, recently, some analogies between this domain and scenario-based one-criterion decision-making under uncertainty (1-DMU) have been revealed in the literature. Thus, the similarities aforementioned give the possibility to adjust TOPSIS to another area. The goal of the paper is to create a new method for problems with non-deterministic parameters on the basis of TOPSIS ideas. In the suggested approach criteria weights (declared within TOPSIS) are replaced by subjective chances of occurrence which are estimated for each scenario. The novel method has an advantage over existing classical decision rules designed for 1-criterion decision-making under uncertainty since within this procedure each payoff connected with a given option is compared with the positive and negative-ideal solutions.
