Sustainability has become a key concern for project selection in construction industries. Determining the best sustainable project based on various sustainability attributes is a very complicated decision. Accordingly, developing a suitable decision support framework can be very helpful for decision makers to attain planned business goals and complete projects at the right time with good quality. This research develops a decision support model which helps managers to understand the concept of sustainability in construction project selection and choose the best project using a new integrated Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) approach under uncertainty by integrating Fuzzy Preference Programming (FPP) as a modification of Fuzzy Analytical Hierarchy Process (FAHP), with Fuzzy Inference System (FIS) as a fuzzy rulebased expert system. In the first phase of the research, fifteen sustainability attributes were selected. In the second phase, the final weight of each attribute was computed by using FPP. In the last phase, the most appropriate project was selected by running the weighted FIS. The results showed that Project 3 (P3) is the best project. Finally, two different evaluative tests were also applied to verify the validity and robustness of the developed model.

“…Different from other ranking methods, the VIKOR method has two main advantages. The first advantage is that the VIKOR method finds out the optimal alternative based on maximum group utility and minimum individual regret [20,21]. The second is that compromised solution can be supplied in the ranking result fulfilling the practical needs [22].…”

Site selection of waste-to-energy (WtE) plant is critically important in the whole life cycle. Some research has been launched in the WtE plant site selection, but there is still a serious problem called Not In My Back Yard (NIMBY) effect that needs to be solved. To solve the problem, an improved multigroup VIKOR method is proposed to choose the optimal site and compromised sites. In the proposed method, the public satisfaction is fully considered where the public is invited as an evaluation group far more than creating general indicators to represent the public acceptance. First of all, an elaborate criteria system is built to evaluate site options comprehensively and the weights of criteria are identified by Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) method. Then, the interval 2-tuple linguistic information is adopted to assess the ratings for the established criteria. The interval 2-tuple linguistic ordered weighted averaging (ITL-OWA) operator is utilized to aggregate the opinions of evaluation committee while the opinions of the public are aggregated using weighted average operator. Finally, a case from south China which shows the computational procedure and the effectiveness of the proposed method is proved. Last but not least, a sensitivity analysis is conducted by comparing the results with different weights of evaluation group assessments.

In recent years, the selection of a robot for particular industrial purposes is one of the most challenging problems in the manufacturing environment based on automation and smartness for real-time decision-making. At present, several types of industrial robots with various capabilities, features, facilities, and specifications are available in the market. This makes the decision-making process more and more complicated due to the increase in complexity, advanced technologies, and features that are continually being incorporated into the robots by several manufacturers. The decision-maker needs to identify and select the best-suited robot to attain the desired output with precise application ability, and minimum cost. This paper tries to solve the robot selection problem using Fuzzy Best-Worst Method and PROMETHEE as the two most appropriate multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) methods for weighting criteria and ranking of decision alternatives, respectively.
