The Difference

Recently, there is of significant interest in developing multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) techniques with large applications for real-life problems. Making a reasonable and accurate decision on MCDM problems can help develop enterprises better. The existing MCDM methods, such as the grey comprehensive evaluation (GCE) method and the technique for order preference by similarity to an ideal solution (TOPSIS), have their one-sidedness and shortcomings. They neither consider the difference of shape and the distance of the evaluation sequence of alternatives simultaneously nor deal with the interaction that universally exists among criteria. Furthermore, some enterprises cannot consult the best professional expert, which leads to inappropriate decisions. These reasons motivate us to contribute a novel hybrid MCDM technique called the grey fuzzy TOPSIS (FGT). It applies fuzzy measures and fuzzy integral to express and integrate the interaction among criteria, respectively. Fuzzy numbers are employed to help the experts to make more reasonable and accurate evaluations. The GCE method and the TOPSIS are combined to improve their one-sidedness. A case study of supplier evaluation of a collaborative manufacturing enterprise verifies the effectiveness of the hybrid method. The evaluation result of different methods shows that the proposed approach overcomes the shortcomings of GCE and TOPSIS. The proposed hybrid decision-making model provides a more accurate and reliable method for evaluating the fuzzy system MCDM problems with interaction criteria.

Best Worst Method

In an increasingly competitive industrial environment, every company strives to increase the quality and efficiency of its product development process. PT. Udaka Indonesia, a clothing manufacturer, is experiencing raw material shortages that disrupt the company's production process. The goal of this research is to assess and segment the company's suppliers. The Best Worst Method (BWM) is employed for weighting criteria, and Fuzzy TOPSIS is used to rank alternative providers and subsequently segment them. The dimensions of capabilities (8 criteria with 26 sub-criteria) and willingness (4 criteria with 15 sub-criteria) make up the company's supplier evaluation criteria. The evaluation results suggest that suppliers A2, B2, C2, and D2 are the best in terms of capabilities for label accessories, stickers, paper tags, and polybags, respectively, while A1, B2, C2, and D2 are the best in terms of willingness. Supplier segmentation results show that segmentation 1 includes suppliers C1, B1, B3, and D1, segmentation 2 includes supplier A3, and segmentation 4 includes suppliers A1, A2, B2, B4, C2, and D2.

Green supplier selection is considered to be one of the prominent strategic ways to determine the success of whole supply chain in recent times. In this chapter, fuzzy VIKOR and fuzzy TOPSIS methods are used to select the suitable green supplier under fuzzy environment. The green supplier evaluation approach is demonstrated with a real-world case study involving textile manufacturing industry in southern part of India concerning 11 foremost evaluation criteria that the company has determined to select the most suitable supplier. The compromising solution for the four decision makers in Fuzzy VIKOR corroborate with the compromising solution of Fuzzy TOPSIS method. The application of proposed method in the case organization helps to identify the appropriate supplier systematically. The result offer useful insight for the managers to select the suitable supplier to improve the environmental image of the organization.

Home mechanical ventilation has evolved to permit discharge of patients on portable negative or positive pressure mechanical ventilators. Assessment of the patient for home discharge is initiated by a multidisciplinary team. The nurse, physician, social worker, respiratory therapist, speech therapist, occupational therapist, home health nursing agency, durable medical equipment supplier, and caregivers constitute the team. The crucial links to a successful patient discharge are an involved family and a well-developed plan of care, although patient finances also are important. The nurse develops, coordinates, and implements the teaching plan over a period of 2 or more weeks. The home caregivers provide total care for the patient several days before discharge. The home health agency and the durable medical equipment supplier provide services which ease the transition of care from hospital to home. One alternative to home discharge is placement in an extended care facility

The remarkable interest in the supply chain management related research in the last decade has been due to its potential to improve the efficiency of operations and reduce cost. Vendor managed inventory is an integrated approach for market patricians coordination according to which the vendor decides on the appropriate inventory levels within bounds. The coordination problem for a two stage supply chain composed of a medical equipment supplier and a retailer is considered in this paper. The inventory management of medical equipment vendors under the uncertain demand is analysis and the model is designed, the variables of shortage cost and inventories cost are derived on the two cases with the demand fluctuations and the results are also discussed.
