Strategic Approach in Multi-Criteria Decision Making A Practical Guide for Complex Scenarios


Free Download Strategic Approach in Multi-Criteria Decision Making: A Practical Guide for Complex Scenarios (International Series in Operations Research & Management Science, 351) by Nolberto Munier
English | March 19, 2024 | ISBN: 3031444523 | 419 pages | MOBI | 21 Mb
This book examines multiple criteria decision making (MCDM) and presents the Sequential Iterative Modelling for Urban Systems (SIMUS) as a method to be used for strategic decision making. It emphasizes the necessity to take into account aspects related to real world scenarios and incorporating possible real-life aspects for modelling. The book also highlights the use of sensitivity analysis and presents a method for using criteria marginal values instead of weights, which permits the drawing of curves that depicts the variations of the objective function due to increments/decrements of criteria values. In this way, it also gives quantitative values of the objective function allowing stakeholders to perform a comprehensive risk analysis for a solution when it is affected by exogenous variables.

Multi-criteria Decision Making Methods with Bipolar Fuzzy Sets (Forum for Interdisciplinary Mathematics)


Free Download Multi-criteria Decision Making Methods with Bipolar Fuzzy Sets (Forum for Interdisciplinary Mathematics) by Muhammad Akram, Shumaiza, José Carlos Rodríguez Alcantud
English | May 22, 2023 | ISBN: 9819905680 | 239 pages | MOBI | 50 Mb
This monograph discusses the theoretical and practical development of multicriteria decision making (MCDM). The main purpose of MCDM is the construction of systematized strategies for the "optimisation" of feasible options, as well as the justification of why some alternatives can be declared "optimal". However, at time, we must make decisions in an uncertain environment and such inconvenience gives rise to a much more elaborate scenario. This book highlights models where this lack of certainty can be flexibly fitted in and goes on to explore valuable strategies for making decisions under a multiplicity of criteria. Methods discussed include bipolar fuzzy TOPSIS method, bipolar fuzzy ELECTRE-I method, bipolar fuzzy ELECTRE-II method, bipolar fuzzy VIKOR method, bipolar fuzzy PROMETHEE method, and two-tuple linguistic bipolar fuzzy Heronian mean operators. This book is a valuable resource for researchers, computer scientists, and social scientists alike.

Free Download Kevin B. Burr, "Authenticating Criteria in Jesus Research and Beyond: An Interdisciplinary Methodology "
English | ISBN: 9004549013 | 2023 | 250 pages | PDF | 43 MB
Criteria of authenticity have long featured in New Testament studies. Some argue these tools are unique-even idiosyncratic-to Jesus research, but this study demonstrates that general historians employ similar criteria to the same effect as historians of Jesus.

Applications of Multi-Criteria and Game Theory Approaches Manufacturing and Logistics


Free Download Applications of Multi-Criteria and Game Theory Approaches: Manufacturing and Logistics By N. Labadie, C. Prodhon (auth.), Lyes Benyoucef, Jean-Claude Hennet, Manoj Kumar Tiwari (eds.)
2014 | 408 Pages | ISBN: 1447152948 | PDF | 6 MB
Aligning the latest practices, innovations and case studies with academic frameworks and theories, the broad area of multi-criteria and game theory applications in manufacturing and logistics is covered in comprehensive detail. Divided into two parts, part I is dedicated to ‘multi-criteria applications’ and includes chapters on logistics with a focus on vehicle routing problems, a multi-objective decision making approach to select the best storage policy and an exploratory study to predict the most important factors that can lead to successful mobile supply chain management adoption for manufacturing firms. Part II covers ‘game theory applications’ and encompasses the process of forming a coalition within a corporate network to the problem of integrating inventory and distribution optimization together with game theory to effectively manage supply networks.Providing a forum to investigate, exchange novel ideas and disseminate knowledge covering the broad area of multi-criteria and game theory applications in manufacturing and logistics, Applications of Multi-Criteria and Game Theory Approaches is an excellent reference for students, researchers but also managers and industry professionals working with manufacturing and logistics issues.

Rock Fracture Mechanics and Fracture Criteria


Free Download Rock Fracture Mechanics and Fracture Criteria
English | 2024 | ISBN: 9819758211 | 122 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 24 MB
This open access book delves into the realms of geotechnical engineering and solid mechanics. In order to establish fracture parameters that are both relevant and conducive to safety, the book extensively investigates the fracture mechanical properties of mode I, mode II, and mode III in brittle rock materials. Various fracture testing methods and fracture mechanics theories are employed for a comprehensive examination. To provide a theoretical interpretation of the fracture test results, the book presents detailed derivations of established fracture criteria. Additionally, new fracture criteria are introduced to enhance fracture prediction models. Targeted at graduate students, scientists, and engineers engaged in the study of rock fracture mechanics, hydraulic fracturing, and material mechanics, this book serves as a valuable resource.
