“…Some of these papers which have been recently published are given in the following. Li et al [198] propose a new method identifying the critical success factors (CSF). In this method, the evaluations of influencing factors in the form of intuitionistic fuzzy numbers (IFNs) are converted into basic probability assignments (BPA).…”

Multicriteria decision-making (MCDM) refers to making decisions in the presence of multiple and usually conflicting criteria. Fuzzy decision-making is used where vague and incomplete data exist for the solution. Fuzzy multicriteria decision-making is one of the most popular problems handled by the researchers in the literature. In this paper, we survey the latest status of fuzzy multicriteria decision-making methods and classify these methods dividing into two parts: fuzzy multiattribute decision-making (MADM) and fuzzy multiobjective decision-making (MODM). Most of the publications are on fuzzy MADM since there are a plenty of classical multiattribute decision-making methods in the literature. Tabular and graphical illustrations for each method are given.

“…To overcome this problem, the combination of BPA, Dempster-Shafer theory and fuzzy DEMATEL approach has been presented in this paper. Similarly, Dempster-Shafer theory associated with fuzzy DEMATEL approach has been addressed in recent studies [8,10] to avoid the need for defuzzification process in fuzzy DEMTEL approach. Likewise, this study integrated the Dempster-Shafer theory and fuzzy DEMATEL method for evaluating KT effectiveness in GSD projects.…”

“…As a result, Dempster-Shafer theory has been presented in this study to avoid the need of defuzzification and to fuse the BPA, and then fuzzy DEMATEL approach can be applied on each BPA. Consequently, the very few studies [8,10] have integrated that Dempster-Shafer theory and fuzzy DEMATEL method for group decision making process. Thus, addressing this research gaps inspired us to propose a combined approach based on fuzzy DEMATEL-Dempster-Shafer theory for evaluating KT effectiveness in GSD projects presented in this paper.…”

“…Consequently, a comprehensive framework for considering GSD teams' knowledge, team, technology, and organization factors for assessing KT effectiveness in GSD projects has not been reported in the literature. Moreover, the number of studies [8,13,14,16] has adopted IFNs for multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) problems. In addition, fuzzy group decision making based on IFNs for evaluating KT effectiveness in GSD projects has been very limited in the literature.…”

“…In recent times, a number of studies [5,7,8,9] have adopted a fuzzy DEMATEL approach for evaluation of attributes, interrelationship among the criteria and especially handling the subjective judgments that are vague and imprecise. In this paper, the relative importance of ten KT effectiveness factors has been assessed by thirty experts with the use of linguistic assessments.…”

The offshore/onsite teams' effectiveness of knowledge transfer is significantly measured by a various kinds of factors. In this paper, we propose a Knowledge Transfer (KT) assessment framework which is integrates four criterions: knowledge, team, technology, and organization factors to evaluate KT effectiveness of GSD teams. In this context, we presents fuzzy DEMATEL approach for assessing GSD teams KT effectiveness based on intuitionistic fuzzy numbers (IFNs). In this approach, decision makers provided their subjective judgments on the criteria, characterized on the basis of intuitionistic fuzzy sets. Moreover, intuitionistic fuzzy sets are used in the fuzzy DEMATEL approach can be effectively assessing the KT effectiveness criteria, rank the alternatives. Subsequently, the complete process is illustrated with GSD teams' KT evaluation criteria samples, the factors are ranked using fuzzy linguistic variables which are mapped to IFNs. In that case, IFNs has been converted into their corresponding basic probability assignments (BPAs) and then Dempster-Shafer theory is used to combine the group decision making process. Besides, illustrate applicability and usefulness of proposed approach in group decision making process for evaluation of multiple criteria's under fuzzy environment has been tested by software professionals at Inowits software organization in India.

A Comparative Study on Rapid Wastewater Treatment Response to Refugee Crises

et al. 2018

Large‐scale population displacement can overwhelm wastewater treatment facilities and increase environmental pollution in the host communities. Academic research has discussed features that improve wastewater treatment systems' resiliency toward other types of disasters and rapidly changing operation conditions. Concepts that contribute to successful startup, refurbishment, and operation of biological treatment systems during refugee responses are yet to be identified. This study takes a novel approach to analyzing wastewater treatment system resiliency by presenting an input–mediator–output model analysis on advanced wastewater treatment delivery during refugee response in Jordan and Finland in 2015–2016. By comparing two distinctively different case studies, the research identifies principles that contribute to timely refugee response in advanced wastewater treatment systems on the dimensions of human resources, project environment, and wastewater treatment technology. These principles include 1) clear role division between agencies and stakeholders, 2) improving “human capacity” for rapid response decisions, 3) selecting a process that fits the regulative and operational environment, 4) enabling direct and fast information sharing, and 5) establishing fast‐track permitting processes for disaster conditions. Wastewater treatment system operators, regulative authorities, and aid organizations can use these findings to support rapid decision‐making in future disaster response situations.
