Abstract:

Decision making is getting more complex and difficult in our daily life and business life. However, correct and fast decision making is the first condition of managing and directing. The complexity and uncertainty in decision problems have increased as a result of technological developments and changes in consumer demands. Most of the decision problems encountered contain many criteria. Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) is to choose the most suitable alternative among many alternatives according to more than one determined criteria. Various methods have been developed for the solution of multi-criteria decision problems. ELECTRE III (ELimination Et Choice Translating REality) method, one of these methods, is one of the most widely used methods. The ELECTRE III method is a method used in the solution of decision problems involving uncertainty. In this study, the ELECTRE III method and its properties have been examined with an application. For this purpose, the problem of photocopy machine selection was examined with the ELECTRE III method in this study. The ENTROPY method was used to determine the weights of the criteria used in the decision problem and the ELECTRE III method was used to rank the copier machine options.

Abstract:

Since smartphones have become the most prevalent communication tool in the world, a wide variety of low-end to high-end smartphone products are currently available on the market. Choosing a suitable product becomes a challenge due to the problem of feature fatigue. This study developed a smartphone selection procedure for prospective users by incorporating ELECTRE-III method with Kano two-dimensional quality model. An empirical example of 15 smartphones from three different categories, namely, flagship, screen size and price, demonstrated that the credibility matrix of the revised ELECTRE-III had fewer extreme values (0 and 1) than its original counterpart. It was able to clearly distinguish the relative satisfaction of each option in the respective group, particularly for the tied products which could not be discerned by the original ELECTRE-III.

Abstract:

The aim of this paper is to compare sorting and ranking methods for prioritization of rehabilitation interventions of sewers, taking into account risk, performance and cost. For that purpose multiple criteria decision-aid (MCDA) methods such as ELECTRE TRI for sorting and ELECTRE III for ranking are applied in a real case-study and the results obtained are compared. The case study is a small sanitary sewer system from a Portuguese utility located in the metropolitan area of Lisbon. The problem to investigate is the prioritization of the sewer candidates for rehabilitation. The decision maker (a panel group of specialists) has chosen five assessment measures: water level and maximum flow velocity (hydraulic performance indices), sewer importance and failure repair cost (collapse-related consequences of failure) and the risk of collapse. The results show that the outcomes from ELECTRE III are easier to understand than those from ELECTRE TRI method. Two different sets of weights were used, and the sorting and ranking results from both methods were found to be sensitive to them. ELECTRE TRI method is not straightforward as it involves technical parameters that are difficult to define, such as reference profiles and cut levels.

Abstract:

Hesitant fuzzy set (HFS), which allows the membership degree of an element to a set represented by several possible values, is considered as a powerful tool to express uncertain information in the process of multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) problems. In this paper, we develop a hesitant fuzzy ELECTRE I (HF-ELECTRE I) method and apply it to solve the MCDM problem under hesitant fuzzy environments. The new method is formulated using the concepts of hesitant fuzzy concordance and hesitant fuzzy discordance which are based on the given score function and deviation function, and employed to determine the preferable alternative. Numerical examples are provided to demonstrate the application of the proposed method, and the influence of different numbers of alternatives on outranking relations is analyzed based on a derived sensitive parameter interval in which a change in the parameters has no effects on the set of the nonoutranked alternatives. The randomly generated numerical cases are also investigated in the framework of the HF-ELECTRE I method. Furthermore, the outranking relations obtained in the HF-ELECTRE I method with those derived from the aggregation operator-based approach and the ELECTRE III and ELECTRE IV methods are discussed.

Abstract:

<p>As part of the integrated strategy of the Moroccan state aimed at the social and economic development of the Moroccan rural community, an electrification program has been in place since the 90s. This program, called PEGR, has for main objective the improvement of the electrification rate for the national rural world. Given the large number of villages to be electrified and the colossal budget that will induce, several criteria have been retained to objectively distinguish the villages with the highest priority for electrification. Given the nature of this problem to be solved, which is a multicriteria decision aid problem, we propose in this article to use the multicriteria aggregation method ELECTRE III to rank the villages from the highest priority to the lowest priority for the electrification.</p>

Abstract:

In this study, the ELECTRE III method, which is one of the most common techniques among multiple criteria decision‐making (MCDM) approaches, was considered in a selection problem of concrete pumps. As a methodological framework, a two‐step questionnaire survey was conducted by 70 firms that have and use concrete pumps. A solution of the problem was then found in the light of the real world data by means of ELECTRE III. The paper can be of value to researchers studying the anatomy of decision‐making in equipment selection in general and investigating selection criteria of concrete pumps in particular. It also contributes to the academic environment as an application practice of ELECTRE III to correspond with the nature of equipment selection and as an effective means for the formalization of knowledge possessed by industrial practitioners. On the practical side, ELECTRE III offers an efficient and convenient tool that forces the users into orderly and methodical thinking, and guides them in making logical and robust decisions. In addition, the example illustrated in the present study can be helpful for decision‐makers dealing with similar equipment selection issues.

Abstract:

The Bellinger’s method presented in the paper is an example of how to use it in depot logistics. The authors focus their considerations on the selection of a forklift which could be used for carrying construction materials collected in a depot. The paper describes a basic assumption of the Bellinger’s technique and then evaluates its advantages and disadvantages. The results of the calculations made with the Bellinger’s method, for example, are compared with the calculations made with the Electre III method. Both of those multi-criteria decision support methods produce a ranking of decision variants. The visualisation of this method is shown in the graph in Figure 1. The best decision variant is put on top of the graph, the worst decision variant is put at its bottom. The graph shows that there are no big differences between those two methods. As a result, one can assume that both of them are useful. However, the Bellinger’s method is far simpler to use than the Electre III method, even by an inexperienced user. The calculation algorithm for the Bellinger's method shown in the paper proves that the method is easy to use.

Abstract:

ELECTRE TRI-C, ELECTRE TRI-nC and THESEUS are recently proposed outranking-based multi-criteria sorting methods. The effectiveness of each method is here characterized by (i) its capacity for suggesting precise and appropriate assignments, (ii) the probability of suggesting imprecise assignments, and (iii) the probability of suggesting wrong assignments. We are also interested in studying to what extent the effectiveness of the methods is influenced by the number of criteria and categories, the cardinality of the reference set (in case of ELECTRE TRI-nC and THESEUS), and the way in which this set is chosen or populated. Our conclusions are supported by extensive computer experiments. The results underline the importance of (a) the number of reference actions and their distribution per category, (b) the number of criteria, and (c) the way in which the reference set is populated. These results help to identify contexts for which a particular method may be more appropriate.

Abstract:

Purpose This study aims to focus on the application of a multiple criteria decision analysis (MCDA) method to compare results presented by the Integrated Goals System based on the 12th edition of the Integrated Public Safety Areas (IPSAs) Award, which achieved goals established for Strategic Crime Indicators for the state of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The main objective of this research was to limit the compensatory effects of classification criteria on IPSAs that have achieved goals established for crime indicators by applying the MCDA method. Design/methodology/approach The methodology was based on the application of MCDA. The MCDA method selected and used was ELECTRE III, being implemented by J-Electre software. Findings Compared to results of the current method, the results of the ELECTRE III method showed a 94.87 per cent change in ranking positions revealed via the SIM method. This finding denotes the elimination of compensatory effects of the criteria. As a consequence, it can be affirmed that the application of resources by IPSA managers to reduce the prevalence of a single strategic crime indicator is no longer a success factor for awarding in the established goal system. Research limitations/implications As limitations, it is possible to indicate the time cut used to carry out the research. The research may be extended to other issues of the productivity award. Practical implications The methodology applied with the use of ELECTRE III revealed that the government could reduce the cost with the incentive program to reduce criminal indices. Social implications As the MCDA method is based on a binary pairwise comparison system, the methodology imposes a change of attitude on local managers fighting crime to reduce crime indicators and to consequently build a local sense of safety in IPSAs. Originality/value This research fills a gap in the literature because there are few studies using the MCDA method in the field of public security. The value of the work lies in the creation of a method that gives the decision-maker, of the law enforcement agency, an alternative to improve the process of rewarding by productividad of the integrated areas of public security.

Abstract:

With the development of cloud computing, more and more resources are provided in the form of cloud services. Then how to select suitable cloud service for users without professional knowledge has become an important issue. Existing cloud service selection models are usually considered as QoS-aware evaluation focused models. In practice, the QoS attributes have problems like subjectivity, vagueness, and uncertainty, and a range of formats are involved to describe QoS attributes. Therefore, it is necessary to consider the heterogeneous formats of QoS attributes in cloud service selection process. The aim of this paper is to develop a novel cloud service selection approach using entropy weight and GRA-ELECTRE III that can handle heterogeneous QoS attributes simultaneously. In the proposed approach, heterogeneous QoS attributes are handled simultaneously by being transformed into intuitionistic fuzzy numbers; the relative weights of QoS attributes are calculated objectively by the extended entropy measure method under intuitionistic fuzzy environment; and cloud services are evaluated by GRA-ELECTRE III integrated method under intuitionistic fuzzy environment. Experimental results show that the proposed approach has good stability and discrimination in dealing with heterogeneous data and can effectively avoid compensation between attributes.

Abstract:

AbstractMethods based on fuzzy outranking relations constitute one of the main approaches to multiple criteria decision problems. The use of ELECTRE methods require the elicitation of a large number of parameters (weights and different thresholds); but direct eliciting is often a demanding task for the decision-maker (DM). For handling intensity-ofpreference effects on concordance levels, a generalized concordance model was proposed by Roy and Slowinski which is more complex than previous outranking models. In this paper, an evolutionary multi-objective-based indirect elicitation of the complete ELECTRE III model-parameter set is proposed. The evolutionary multi-objective inference method is successfully extended to inferring reinforced-preference model parameters. Wide experimental evidence is provided to support the proposal, which performs well even working on small size reference sets.

Abstract:

This article presents a two-step framework for the selection of the optimal tourist origins portfolio for a particular destination. The article applies this decision-making process to French Polynesia. The first step of the framework is based on a mean–variance optimization procedure and proposes the subset of portfolios among which the decision-maker must limit her/his choice. Second, the multicriteria ELECTRE method is employed to rank all the portfolios considered on the basis of decision-makers’ preferences exposed in the parameters of the algorithm. Three decision-maker profiles are proposed from a risk-averse profile to a risk-lover profile. This article contributes to the dedicated literature by presenting ELECTRE III as an alternative to the utility function approach used by previous studies. Results of our application to French Polynesia’s tourist attendance data (from 2014 to 2017) highlight the usefulness of the framework exhibited and empirically underline the economic perspectives offered by Chinese tourists. The French Polynesian application follows a clear presentation permitting consideration of applications to other destinations.

Abstract:

The material selection of prostheses in developing countries is currently biased towards what is readily available and ignores important criteria such as patient comfort and structural strength. In this study, the ELECTRE III multiple attribute decision-making method was applied to the material selection of a paediatric prosthetic knee. Light metals were considered as candidates for selection. While composites are light, they are not suitable for use in components with sliding and mating surfaces such as a prosthetic knee. Plastics are prone to failure. Candidate materials were evaluated on criteria related to patient fatigue and comfort, structural stability and material cost. The patient fatigue and comfort requirement was evaluated using material density as the weight of the prosthesis affects the comfort level. Finite element analyses simulating the ISO 10328:2006 standard for structural testing of lower limb prostheses were used to evaluate the structural strength suitability of the candidate materials. The present day prices of the raw material of the candidates were used as an index of material cost. Wrought aluminium alloy aluminium 7175 was ranked highest while titanium alloys were ranked below these due to their higher cost. Cast aluminium alloys ranked lowest due to their poor structural performance. The study, using ELECTRE III, a rigorous multi-criteria decision analysis method, shows that aluminium 7175 is the optimal light metal material for a paediatric prosthetic knee.

Abstract:

Selecting a suitable sewer network plan for a city is a complex and challenging task that requires discussion among a group of experts and the consideration of multiple conflicting criteria with different measurement units. A number of multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) methods have been proposed for analyzing sewer network selection problems, each having their own distinct advantages and limitations. Although many decision-making techniques are available, decision-makers are confronted with the difficult task of selecting the appropriate MCDM method, as each method can lead to different results when applied to an identical problem. This paper evaluates four different multi-criteria decision-making methods, which are the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP), the Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS), Elimination Et Choix Traduisant la REalité (ELECTRE III) and the Preference Ranking Organization METHods for Enrichment Evaluations II (PROMETHEE II), for one sewer network group decision problem in the early stage of sewer water infrastructure asset management. Moreover, during the implementation of different MCDM methods, the Delphi technique is introduced to organize and structure the discussions among all the decision-makers. The results of the study are examined based on each method’s ability to provide accurate representations of the decision-makers’ preferences and their experience implementing each method. As a conclusion, decision-makers identify PROMETHEE II as their favorite method, AHP is more time and energy consuming and results in a number of inconsistencies, while TOPSIS loses information during vector normalization for multi-dimension criteria, and ELECTRE III’s results are inconclusive.

Abstract:

The author proposes fourteen parameters for assessing partnering relations in construction enterprises. By means of these parameters, experts in construction enterprises apply a five‐point scale in order to evaluate enterprise relations with four transactors within its microenvironment. The parameters describing relationships are adopted as assessment criteria. The question of selecting the best construction enterprise for cooperation is a multi‐criteria issue. The author's solution is based on the ELECTRE III method and elaborates two alternative methods of selecting the best construction enterprise on the basis of the analysis of partnering relations between construction enterprises being studied and their transactors within the microenvironment and indicates one of the above introduced methods as preference. Two methods have been developed with a view to supporting a decision‐making system in a construction enterprise as regards the choice of a subcontractor. Relevant calculations can be made by the enterprise decision‐maker using the ConRel programme elaborated by the Cracow University of Technology.

Abstract The influence that general contractors and subcontractors have on the operation of a company is immense. Keeping this in mind, the authors have decided to develop and algorithm based on the analysis of partnering relations between construction companies that would select the best possible construction company for the purposes of cooperation. This algorithm, developed for a given construction company, is meant to support its decision-making system in the field of the selection of another construction company to cooperate with. The author has made references to earlier research, in which she had used the ELECTRE III method, and in which she bad analysed the possibility of applying the BIPOLAR method in order to solve the problem of the selection of a construction company to develop partnering relations with. The author provided an example of the calculations performed for a selection of construction companies.

Abstract:

The awareness of the need for environmental protection is increasing throughout the world. The focuses of green supplier selection are on considering environmental criteria and strengthening the competitiveness of the entire supply chain. The purpose of this study is to develop a green supplier selection procedure for the thin film transistor liquid crystal display (TFT-LCD) industry using polarizer suppliers as an example. First, a decision framework for green supplier selection is developed based on literatures and the supplier audit forms provided by an anonymous flat panel display manufacturer in Taiwan. Then, a hybrid multiple criteria group decision-making (MCGDM) method is proposed based on analytic hierarchy process (AHP), entropy, elimination and choice expressing the reality III (ELECTRE III), and the linear assignment method to assist the manufacturer in choosing among four polarizer suppliers. The final ranking results for green supplier selection and different opinions from each department are provided. An improvement report is suggested to enhance suppliers’ performance. For the evaluation procedure, most managers emphasize the importance of current capability and the capability of research and development. Furthermore, we found that the subsidiary supplier should improve quality control competence immediately to be considered as the potential candidate of primary supplier.

Abstract:

The study presents a methodology for floating wind farms site selection with a Canary Islands case study. The frame combines geographical information systems (GIS) and multiple criteria decision methods (MCDMs). First, the problematic areas for the installation of the turbines are identified through a GIS database application. This tool generates thematic layers representing exclusion criteria. Then, at the second stage of the study, available maritime locations are analyzed and ranked using the analytical hierarchy process (AHP), based on technical, economic, and environmental aspects. AHP’s technique guarantee the elimination of the judgment’s subjectivity. The study also compared the solutions of the AHP technique with other methods, such as Preference Ranking Organization METHod for Enrichment of Evaluations (PROMETHEE), ELimination Et Choix Traduisant la Realité (ELECTRE III), Technique for Order Preferences by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) and Weighted Sum Algorithm (WSA(). The main result of this study is the creation of a realistic and objective overview of floating offshore wind farm site selection and the contribution to minimize the environmental impacts and to reduce the social conflicts between stakeholders.

Abstract:

Most water distribution networks are assemblies of buried elements which makes their diagnosis complex and requires implementing an asset management (AM) policy of actions performed in the short, medium and long terms. To implement such an AM, decision makers must diagnose the condition of the asset by developing specific tools for establishing priorities between assets and plan the actions needed to maintain or improve their condition. This study focuses on two topics. (i) The implementation of a spatiotemporal analysis of the propagation of pipe breaks. This innovative approach inspired by criminality analysis allows focusing on hotspot zones in order to discriminate critical assets. We have designed a new ‘clustering’ criterion that can be used as a prioritization criterion for asset sorting. (ii) The second part addresses the issue of multi-criteria decision making concerning the classification of pipe renewal candidates by comparing two kinds of aggregation method: (i) an unsophisticated approach by using adapted weighted sum methods; and (ii) a sophisticated approach by using the Preference Ranking Organization Method for Enrichment Evaluation (PROMETHEE) and the ‘Elicitation Et Choix Traduisant la REalité’ (ELECTRE III). The underlying reason for comparing these methods is to know whether the unsophisticated methods ensure reliable replacement policy compared to the sophisticated one.

Abstract:

The present paper addresses the problem of locating solid waste management facilities.Specifically, it studies and proposes optimal alternative solutions for the Greek Region of Peloponnese,by examining facilities for transferring, sorting, treating and landfilling of wastes. Quantitative and qualitative databases concerning the current solid waste management at the Region have been created and used by the model. A customized mixed-integer linear network model has been developed and solved for various evaluation criteria on a single-criterion basis by the use of a location-allocation modeling framework.The solutions resulting from the parametrical application of the multicriterial method ELECTRE III are then ranked for the entire criteria-spectrum. The best alternative scenario is presented for the Region in accordance with current legislation on waste management, which maximizes environmental benefits and promotes recycling, in the frame of sustainable waste management.

Abstract:

Assessment of hydropower projects with respect to sustainability criteria is a multidimensional and a complex issue that decision makers usually face during planning process. In hydropower projects, it is important to consider technical, environmental and social parameters instead of purely economic ones for sustainability assessment and decision making. Multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) methods offer a practical approach to a problem having conflicting criteria. The flexibility to consider several criteria and objectives simultaneously made MCDM methods well accepted in the field of energy planning. This paper aims for applicability of MCDM methods which will facilitate the decision makers to select the most sustainable hydropower projects by making real and logical choices based on various sustainability criteria. For comprehensively rank hydropower projects of Indian region based on sustainability criteria four MCDM methods are applied i.e., analytic hierarchy process (AHP), technique for order of preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS), preference ranking organization method for enrichment evaluations (PROMETHEE II) and elimination and choice translating reality (ELECTRE III). To ensure better decision making the eight criteria selected are compatible to the sustainable development of hydropower projects.

Abstract:

With the aim of making Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) more acceptable to the managers' community, the Weights Restrictions approaches were born. They allow DEA to not dispose of any data and permit the Decision Maker (DM) to have some management over the method. The purpose of this paper is to suggest a Weights Restrictions DEA model that incorporates the DM preference. In order to perform that, we employed the MACBETH methodology as a tool to find out the bounds of the weights to be used in a Weights Restrictions approach named Virtual Weights Restrictions. Our proposal achieved an outcome that has an expressive correlation with three widely used decision-aids methodologies: the ELECTRE III, the SMART and the PROMETHEE I and II. In addition, our approach was able to join the most significant outcomes of all the above three Multicriteria decision-aids methodologies in one unique outcome.

Abstract:

The electronic commerce (e-commerce) market is experiencing explosive growth. Millions of retail network firms compete in the virtual e-commerce market. A key aspect of online trading is emotional intelligence: these retail firms adopt emotional tactics to attract and retain customers. This article evaluates the emotional intelligence of small retail e-commerce network firms. By analyzing the emotional information transmitting process, we propose a framework to measure virtual emotional intelligence abilities in e-commerce. Based on that framework, we adopt the ELECTRE III multicriteria evaluation method to evaluate the emotional intelligence of some small retail network firms on the TAOBAO e-commerce website. The results show that a correlation exists between emotional intelligence and sales in a network environment. Thus, improving virtual emotional intelligence abilities is important for retail network firms to increase customers’ satisfaction, gain competitive advantage, and promote their sales in the current information society.

Abstract:

The increase in Brazil's interest in international affairs has generated a growing participation in military operations under the control of the United Nations. The selection of the military for this type of mission is a major challenge for the decision-making authority, since they represent Brazil before the international community. The choice must be transparent and based on well-defined criteria. In this context, the purpose of this article is to propose a methodology to be used during the selection process of military personnel to integrate military observer missions into peace operations. The multicriteria decision support techniques can contribute to this process, considering the objective and subjective aspects and supporting the decision maker. The ELECTRE III method was used to determine the Officer who is best able to perform the military observer mission. The choice of a method of overclassification is due to the fact that no compensation is allowed between the criteria. The study shows that in certain military situations with lower rank may possess characteristics that make them as or more interesting than those of higher rank.
