Gamification means the use of various elements of game design in nongame contexts including workplace collaboration, marketing, education, military, and medical services. Gamification is effective for both improving workplace productivity and motivating employees. However, introduction of gamification is not easy because the planning and implementation processes of gamification are very complicated and it needs interdisciplinary knowledge such as information systems, organization behavior, and human psychology. Providing a systematic decision making method for gamification process is the purpose of this paper. This paper suggests the decision criteria for selection of gamification platform to support a systematic decision making process for managements. The criteria are derived from previous works on gamification, introduction of information systems, and analytic hierarchy process. The weights of decision criteria are calculated through a survey by the professionals on game, information systems, and business administration. The analytic hierarchy process is used to derive the weights. The decision criteria and weights provided in this paper could support the managements to make a systematic decision for selection of gamification platform.

As livestock plays a very crucial role in Indian economy. Livestock trading in India is very unstructured. The Buyer can be farmer or Diary farm owner who wants to procure a livestock. In this research the Livestock which is considered is the Murrah buffalo belong to water buffalo (Bubalus bubalis) breed which are mainly kept for milk production. The buyer is available with 8 suppliers which are fulfilling the same criteria of the breed. The Suppliers are divided into two segments, large scale supplier and small scale supplier. The supplier having more than 10 livestock of same breed has been considered large scale supplier, and the supplier having less than or equal to 10 has been considered small scale supplier. As competition is increasing every day the procurement activities are highly important. So, Multi criteria decision making approach has been used. Specifically, Analytic Hierarchy Process has been used for the selection of vendor among the alternatives available. In this research three criteria, seven sub criteria and eight alternatives has been evaluated. All vendors are ranked according to the result obtained from the AHP to aid the decision making. By implementation of AHP we were able to obtain the best fit vendor. AHP is a practical tool used for aiding the decision making when there are too many parameters. In Livestock trading ecosystem this tool will help in decision making

<p><strong>Abstract</strong></p><p>The increasing world population began to concentrate in cities especially after the Industrial Revolution. After the Second World War, societies with over consumption have brought with it the waste problem. In particular, the growth of urban areas, both as a population and as an area, has led to the increase of waste material and the existing landfills located in the border of the city. This situation, which can lead to health consequences, has led local and central governments to find new landfills. When the literature is examined, it has been seen that studies about the subject have been made. In this study, alternative landfill areas were determined in Uşak Central District by using geographical information systems and analytic hierarchy process which is one of the multi criteria decision making methods. The analytical hierarchy process used in the method part is the multi criteria decision making method, which allows to determine the degree of importance based on the <em>Pair-wise </em>comparisons of the determined criteria. In determining the alternative sites, rivers, settlements, lands, faults, landslide, slope, agricultural value of the area, land use type, transportation networks, geological formations, large soil classes and distance to airport were taken into consideration. The maps of the criteria were prepared using ArcMap software. Euclidean distance analysis was applied and reclasify was performed. Distance between settlements and rivers was determined as the most important criteria at the end of the <em>Pair-wise </em>comparisons. Weighted overlay was applied by using weight ratios determined by analytical hierarchy method and alternative sites were determined. As a result of the analysis, six different sites in total 1522 hectares were found suitable near Dışkaya, Taşkonak, Yenişehir, Bağbaşı, Bozköy, Göğem and Karlık villages. The results of the study were limited to GIS analysis. The presence of a dense settlement and stream drenage in the research area has limited the storage space.</p><p><strong>Öz</strong></p><p>Artan dünya nüfusu özellikle Sanayi Devriminden sonra şehirlerde yoğunlaşmaya başlamıştır. İkinci Dünya Savaşından sonra aşırı tüketime yönelen toplumlar atık problemini de beraberinde getirmiştir. Özellikle şehirsel alanların hem nüfus hem de alan olarak büyümesi atık madde artışının yanında mevcut çöp depolama alanlarının şehrin içinde kalmasına da neden olmuştur. Sağlığı tehlikeye sokabilen sonuçlara sebep olan bu durum yerel ve merkezi yönetimleri yeni deponi alanları bulmaya itmiştir. Literatür incelendiğinde konu ile ilgili çalışmaların yapıldığı görülmüştür. Bu çalışmada coğrafi bilgi sistemleri ve çok kriterli karar verme yöntemlerinden bir tanesi olan analitik hiyerarşi kullanılarak Uşak Merkez ilçesinde alternatif atık depolama alanı yerleri belirlenmiştir. Yöntem kısmında kullanılan analitik hiyerarşi, belirlenen kriterlerin ikili karşılaştırmalarına dayanan önem derecelerinin belirlenmesini sağlayan ÇKKV yöntemidir. Çalışmada alternatif sahaların belirlenmesinde akarsular, yerleşim alanları, bakı, faylar, heyelan, eğim, sahanın tarımsal değeri, arazi kullanım şekli, ulaşım ağları, jeolojik formasyonları, büyük toprak sınıfları ve havaalanına olan mesafe olmak üzere on iki kriter dikkate alınmıştır. Kriterlerin haritaları ArcMap yazılımı kullanılarak hazırlanmıştır. Çalışmada öklid mesafe analizi uygulanarak yeniden ağırlıklandırma işlemleri yapılmıştır. İkili karşılaştırmalar sonunda yerleşmelere ve akarsulara olan uzaklık en önemli ölçütler olarak belirlenmiştir. Analitik hiyerarşi yöntemi ile belirlenen ağırlık oranları kullanılarak çakıştırma işlemi (weighted overlay) uygulanmış ve alternatif sahalar belirlenmiştir. Analiz sonucunda Dışkaya, Taşkonak, Yenişehir, Bağbaşı, Bozköy, Göğem ve Karlık köyleri yakınlarında toplam 1522 hektarlık altı farklı saha uygun bulunmuştur. Araştırmanın sonuçları CBS analizleri ile sınırlı tutulmuştur. Araştırma sahasında yoğun bir yerleşme ve akarsu ağının bulunması depolama alanı yapılabilecek yerleri sınırlamıştır.</p>

Reliability and quality are the two ultimate objectives in the avionics industry. The risk of counterfeit electronics and the unavailability of screening facilities for 100% components are the most concerning areas in the supply chain of the avionics industry. Unlike most public procurement, the cost is not the only significant criterion. Unbiased decision-making criteria to accommodate all the important factors without compromising on quality, reliability, and maintainability are essential for the evaluation and selection of sustainable suppliers. Therefore, this study proposes an unbiased decision methodology based on the fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (FAHP) and the fuzzy technique for order performance by similarity to ideal solution (FTOPSIS). In the first phase, six main and twenty-one sub-criteria are selected from the literature and empirically validated by experts of the avionics industry. FAHP is used to evaluate the weight of the main criteria and sub-criteria. FTOPSIS is used to prioritize eight alternatives (suppliers) concerning their effectiveness and superiority in finding the best alternatives. The results of the FAHP reveal that traceability (T) is the most important criterion, followed by quality (Q), and cost (C), which rank as the second and third most significant criteria. The results of the FTOPSIS rate supplier 8, supplier 2, and supplier 1 as the first, second, and third most effective suppliers, respectively.

Product alternatives, which emerges from large number of websites during searching, accounts for some hesitation experienced by customers in selecting satisfying product. As a result, making useful decision with many trade-off considerations becomes a major cause of such problem. Several approaches have been employed for product selection such as, fuzzy logic, Neuro-fuzzy, and weighted least square. However, these could not solve the problem of inconsistency and irrelevant judgement that occur in decision making. In this study, Ontology-based Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) was used for enhancing selection of product preferences. The model involved three fundamental components: product gathering, selection and decision making. Ontology Web Language (OWL) was utilized to define ontology in expressing product information gathering in a standard and structured manner for the purpose of interoperability while AHP was employed in making optimal choices. The procedure accepts customers’ perspectives as inputs which are classified into criteria and sub-criteria. Owl was created to foster customers’ interaction and priority estimation tool for AHP in order to generate the consistency ratio of individual judgements. The model was benchmarked with Geometric Mean (GM), Eigenvector (EV), Normalized Column Sum (NCS) Weighted Least Square (WLS) and Fuzzy Preference Programming (FPP). First and second order total deviations and violation rate were the performance parameters evaluation with AHP. The results showed that the minimum and maximum units of products are 2,452and 3,574, respectively. These implied that the proposed model was consistent, relevant and reflected a non-violation of judgment in selection of product preferences.
