“…Among the prominent objective weight approach includes; Standard Deviation weight method (Baruah & K, 1999), Shannon's entropy weight method (Chaghooshi, et al, 2012) which are some referred to as a subjective and objective method, and finally the objective and subjective weight method (Ma, Fan, & Huang, 1999). In this study, we aimed to presents a reliable, easy and straightforward approach for determining criteria weight by using both subjective and objective factors in forming a fuzzy-based AHP model for solving selection, prioritization, and decision-making problems.…”

In this paper, a subjective and objective fuzzy-based Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) model is proposed. The model which is based on a newly defined evaluation matrix replaces the fuzzy comparison matrix (FCM) in the traditional fuzzy AHP model, which has been found ineffective and time-consuming when criteria/alternatives are increased. The main advantage of the new model is that it is straightforward and completely eliminates the repetitive adjustment of data that is common with the FCM in traditional AHP model. The model reduces the complete dependency on human judgment in prioritization assessment since the weights values are solved automatically using the evaluation matrix and the modified priority weight formula in the proposed model. By virtue of a numerical case study, the model is successfully applied in the determination of the implementation priorities of lean practices for a product development environment and compared with similar computational methods in the literature.

“…In general, the weighting methods can be classified into two main approaches, subjective and objective approaches [10]. The objective approach depends heavily on the quantitative intrinsic information contained in each criterion, where the information is manipulated mathematically to generate new information such as the standard deviation, entropy, correlation, and variation coefficient [11,12,13].…”

Abstract. Many average methods are available to aggregate a set of numbers to become single number. However these methods do not consider the interdependencies between the criteria of the related numbers. This paper is highlighting the Choquet Integral method as an alternative aggregation method where the interdependency estimates between the criteria are comprised in the aggregation process. The interdependency values can be estimated by using lambda fuzzy measure method. By considering the interdependencies or interaction between the criteria, the resulted aggregated values are more meaningful as compared to the ones obtained by normal average methods. The application of the Choquet Integral is illustrated in a case study of finding the overall academic achievement of year six pupils in a selected primary school in a northern state of Malaysia.

“…Majority of them can be classified into subjective and objective approaches depending on the information provided. There are two weighting categories: subjective and objective methods (Ma et al 1999). The subjective methods determine weights solely according to the preference or judgments of decision makers, and then some mathematic methods such as the eigenvector method, weighted least square method, Delphi method, and mathematical programming models are applied to calculate the overall evaluation of each decision maker.…”

“…Thus, α and β represent the coefficients of objective and subjective weights, respectively. Total weights of all criteria, W T j , are obtained using the following formula (Ma et al 1999): To investigate the impact of coefficients on the selection of the alternative with best environmental performance, we conducted the sensitivity analysis.…”

A fuzzy MCDM model with objective and subjective weights for evaluating service quality in hotel industries

et al. 2013

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This paper presents a fuzzy multi-criteria decision-making (FMCDM) model by integrating both subjective and objective weights for ranking and evaluating the service quality in hotels. The objective method selects weights of criteria through mathematical calculation, while the subjective method uses judgments of decision makers. In this paper, we use a combination of weights obtained by both approaches in evaluating service quality in hotel industries. A real case study that considered ranking five hotels is illustrated. Examples are shown to indicate capabilities of the proposed method.
