A novel way of integrating the genetic algorithm (GA) and the analytic network process (ANP) is presented in this paper in order to develop a new warehouse assessment scheme, which is developed through various stages. First, we define the main criteria that influence a warehouse performance. The proposed algorithm that integrates the GA with the ANP is then utilized to determine the relative importance values of the defined criteria and sub-criteria by considering the interrelationships among them, and assign strength values for such interrelationships. Such an algorithm is also employed to linguistically present the relative importance and the strength of the interrelationships in a way that can circumvent the use of pairwise comparisons. Finally, the audit checklist that consists of questions related to the criteria is integrated with the proposed algorithm for the development of the warehouse assessment scheme. Validated on 45 warehouses, the proposed scheme has been shown to be able to identify the warehouse competitive advantages and the areas where more improvements can be achieved.

Abstract In this paper, we introduce a human-robot collaboration (HRC) mold assembly cell to cope with small-volume mold production and reduce the risk of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) on a human worker during manual mold assembly operation. Besides, the wide variety of types and weights of the mold components motivated us to design an HRC system that consists of two robots. Therefore, we propose two collaboration modes for HRC systems using two robots and develop a task-allocation model to demonstrate the application of these collaboration modes in the mold assembly. The task-allocation model assigns a task based on the task characteristics and capability of agents in the collaboration cell. First, we decompose the assembly operation into functional actions to analyze the characteristics of tasks. Then, we obtain the agent assignment preference based on task characteristics and capability of agents using the analytic network process. Finally, we apply the genetic algorithm in the final task allocation to minimize assembly time, use of a less capable agent, and ergonomic risk. This paper contributes to expanding the HRC system with two robots in the mold assembly to allow the execution of a greater diversity of tasks and improve the assembly time and MSD risk level for the human worker.

Kegiatan bisnis pada toko daring semakin berkembang dengan seiring berkembangnya teknologi, proses jual dan beli dengan media internet pun semakin marak dilakukan oleh Masyarakat. Masyarakat tidak perlu lagi keluar rumah dan menghadapi macetnya jalan jika ingin membeli suatu barang. Perkembangan inipun dirasakan oleh masyarakat khususnya mahasiswa Politeknik Ganesha. Mahasiswa Politeknik Ganesha sering melakukan kegiatan berbelanja di toko daring atau biasa dikenal dengan online shop. Kegiatan yang dilakukan oleh mahasiswa Politeknik Ganesha ini seringkali menimbulkan perbincangan tentang toko daring. Perbincangan seputar toko daring untuk memenuhi kebutuhan mahasiswa dalam berbelanja online, serta perbincangan dalam perbandingan memilih toko daring mana yang terbaik dalam berlanja online. Dengan permasalahan yang terjadi dikalangan mahasiswa Politeknik Ganesha, maka penting diketahui dalam menentukan keputusan pemilihan toko daring mana yang terbaik dilingkungan Politeknik Ganesha. Proses pemilihan tersebut menggunakan metode Analytic Network Process (ANP) sebagai salah satu metode pada Sistem Pendukung Keputusan. 10 kriteria yang sudah ditentukan oleh mahasiswa Politeknik Ganesha, yaitu: Nomor Telepon/Chatting Online, Produk Popular, Gratis Ongkos Kirim, Sistem Pemabayaran, Logo, Sosial Media Link, Toko Finder, Merk Produk, Berita Terbaru, dan Trusmark. Dan 3 alternatif jenis Toko Daring yaitu: Bukalapak, Shopee dan Lazada. Hasil penelitian pada pengolahan data menggunakan metode ANP menunjukkan bahwa jenis toko daring yang bisa direkomendasikan dikalangan mahasiswa Politeknik Ganesha adalah yang peratama sebagai prioritas tertinggi Shopee = 3.80, kemudian yang kedua adalah Bukalapak = 3.73, dan yang terakhir adalah Lazada = 2.47.

Nowadays, it is obvious that creative tourism industry has become very essential for countries and societies; therefore, governments work on constituting policies in order to develop this industry. To be successful in improving creative tourism industry, governments should identify the influential factors and focus on ones that are more important rather than investing a bit on many different factors. Because of the interrelations among factors, this research is aiming to prioritize factors that influence strategic policies of creative tourism industry in Iran using analytic network process (ANP). Data were collected during the period of May 2017 to February 2018. Participants in this research are 13 tourism experts with more than 10 years' experience in the field. Results show that the most influential criterion is "business support" and the most influential subcriterion is "supporting midsize businesses." This study helps policy makers to improve creative tourism by emphasizing on those factors that have high priority from the viewpoint of strategic policy-making.

This paper presents a strategic roadmap to handle the issue of resource allocation among the green supply chain management (GSCM) practices. This complex issue for supply chain stakeholders highlights the need for the application of supply chain finance (SCF). This paper proposes the five Vs of big data (value, volume, velocity, variety, and veracity) as a platform for determining the role of GSCM practices in improving SCF implementation. The fuzzy analytic network process (ANP) was employed to prioritize the five Vs by their roles in SCF. The fuzzy technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS) was then applied to evaluate GSCM practices on the basis of the five Vs. In addition, interpretive structural modeling (ISM) was used to visualize the optimum implementation of the GSCM practices. The outcome is a hybrid self-assessment model that measures the environmental maturity of SCF by the coherent application of three multicriteria decision-making techniques. The development of the Basic Readiness Index (BRI), Relative Readiness Index (RRI), and Strategic Matrix Tool (SMT) creates the potential for further improvements through the integration of the RRI scores and ISM results. This hybrid model presents a practical tool for decision-makers.

The Belt and Road (abbreviated as B&R) creates opportunities for the economy and trade development and the improvement of national relations of the Belt and Road countries. Development of service trade plays an important role in the Belt and Road. Henan Province takes the opportunity of B&R to develop the international service industry and makes some achievements. In the new era of development, analyzing the trade competitiveness of international service in Henan Province under the background of the Belt and Road is of great significance to help Henan Province recognize its own strengths and weaknesses in service trade development and make targeted improvements. Studies have shown that the share of international market, revealed, advantages of comparative competitiveness trade and service trade openness of service trade in Henan Province under the background of the Belt and Road are constantly improving, but the overall development level is still low and slow development occurs. We utilize the concept of fuzzy embedded along with Analytic Network Process (ANP) which makes it suitable for managing vagueness of the linguistics information of assessment system. Therefore, in order to further improve the international competitiveness of service trade in Henan Province, it is necessary to optimize the international market share, competitiveness, and degree of openness. Specifically, it is necessary to transform and upgrade the traditional service trade industry, continue to expand the breadth and depth of service trade openness, strengthen the talent team building to improve the quality of employees, and promote the brand construction of service industry to enhance the industry’s development potential.

Corrugated box printing machines are precision equipment produced by markedly few manufacturers. They involve high investment cost and risk. Having a corrugated box precision printing machine (CBPPM) supplier with a good reputation enables a corrugated box manufacturer to maintain its competitive advantage. Accordingly, establishing an effective CBPPM supplier selection model is crucial for corrugated box manufacturers. This study established a two-stage CBPPM supplier selection model. The first stage involved the use of a modified Delphi method to construct a supplier selection hierarchy with five criteria and 14 subcriteria. In the second stage, an analytic network process was employed to calculate the weights of criteria and subcriteria and to determine the optimal supplier. According to the results, the five criteria in the model, in descending order of importance, are quality, commitment, cost, service attitude, and reputation. This model can provide insights for corrugated box manufacturers formulating their CBPPM supplier selection strategy.
