“…Dyer et al [82] warn that the complexity of many MCDM methods can prevent their application in practice. Moreover, the findings of several comparative studies actually suggest that simpler evaluation techniques are often superior [47,67,68].…”

“…The identification and selection of an appropriate MCDM method is thus not a simple task and considerable consideration must be given to the choice of method. The literature presents a number of practical applications comparative analyses of different MCDM methods [47,[66][67][68]. Furthermore, a number of authors have developed guidelines facilitating the choice of an appropriate MCDM method [64,65].…”

AbstractWhile affordability is traditionally assessed in economic terms, this paper tests a new assessment method that draws closer links with sustainability by considering economic, social and environmental criteria that impact on a household's quality of life. The paper presents an empirical application and comparison of six different multiple criteria decision making (MCDM) approaches for the purpose of assessing sustainable housing affordability.The comparative performance of the weighted product model (WPM), the weighted sum model (WSM), the revised AHP, TOPSIS and COPRAS, is investigated. The purpose of the comparative analysis is to determine how different MCDM methods compare when used for a sustainable housing affordability assessment model. 20 evaluative criteria and 10 alternative areas in Liverpool, England, were considered. The applicability of different MCDM methods for the focused decision problem was investigated. The paper discusses the similarities in MCDM methods, evaluates their robustness and contrasts the resulting rankings.

“…This purpose was actually achieved, and ELECTRE-III was applied with success during the last two decades on a broad range of real-life applications [34]. Nevertheless, for some users, these methods are very difficult to understand and apply [35], and they are rather limited and intricate because they require a number of parameters (like thresholds) set by DM and explicit criteria weight information. Obviously, the selection of each parameter may lead to the uncertainty of the results, especially in a lack of decision makers' preference information condition.…”

A Decision Model for Emergency Warehouse Location Based on a Novel Stochastic MCDA Method: Evidence from China

China is one of the disaster-prone countries in the world. Constructing a rapid and effective relief logistic system is important for disaster-responding at country level. Strategic prepositioning of emergency items, especially the decision of appropriate emergency warehouses location, has significant impacts on rapid disaster response to ensure sufficient relief supplies. The emergency warehouse location decision is a complex problem, where a wide variety of criteria need to be considered and the preference information of decision makers (DMs) may be imprecise or even absent. In this paper, we identify key effectiveness-oriented criteria used to evaluate the alternative emergency warehouse locations and make an attempt to propose a new multicriteria ranking method to solve the problem of inaccurate or uncertain weight information based on stochastic pairwise dominant relations and the pruning procedure of ELECTRE-II method. The proposed method extends the conventional ELECTRE-II method by incorporating inaccurate information and broadens its application to emergency warehouse location field. The feasibility and applicability of the proposed method are illustrated with a simulated example.

“…A number of studies have also been presented to incorporate uncertainty in assessing water resources potential, water allocation, water quality, reservoir operation and allied field of study using multi-criteria decision-making methods (Chan et al 2009;Flug et al 2000;Mahmoud and Garcia 2000;Singh 2008;Singh and Shrivastava 2014;Singh et al 2017;Srdjevic et al 2004;Teodorovic 1999). Talon et al (2014) enumerated the performance modelling on longrange collection of data using evidence theory and fuzzy logic.…”

Regulation of water resources systems using fuzzy logic: a case study of Amaravathi dam

2018

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Regulation of a water resource system is one of the challenging tasks due to uncertainty involved in demand and supply. It may be due to changes in the climatic conditions, living standards of people, land-use patterns and even because of changes in technology. The problem becomes even more complicated if the objectives pertaining to demand and supply are multiple and conflicting in nature. Therefore, this paper deals with regulation of water resources system based on "if-then" fuzzy logic-based rules which interlinks concepts of interpolative reasoning, logical implications and certain inference tools to infer knowledge about a water resource system using linguistic descriptions. Reasonable inferences have been drawn using concept of tautologies viz. modulus ponens and modulus tollens. Finally, the model is applied to a practical case study in order to demonstrate effectiveness of the proposed logic. The main motive of this study is to demonstrate applicability of fuzzy inference system for regulating operations of water resource systems.
