The COVID-19 pandemic has severely affected the world’s manufacturing industry, particularly in terms of the continued increase in logistics costs that has led to an increase in business operating costs. This study proposes a two-stage model for evaluating the most appropriate outsourcing logistics companies for a manufacturing factory. In the first stage, a modified Delphi method was used to recruit experienced experts to determine criteria for evaluating outsourcing logistics vendors and establish a hierarchical structure. In the second stage, the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) was used to evaluate suitable logistics companies based on the hierarchical structure. Finally, a case study was conducted to demonstrate the suitability of the two-stage model for evaluating outsourcing logistics companies for reducing logistics costs while maintaining service quality. The proposed model can be used as a basis for evaluating outsourcing logistics companies.

Celebrity endorsement is a critical and positive commercial promotional tool. With the increasing number of international sports celebrities, many sporting and non-sporting goods companies use such celebrities to promote their products. This study develops a model for selecting sports celebrity endorsers. A Chinese sporting brand company is the target of this study. The proposed model adopts the modified Delphi method to identify suitable criteria and applies the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) to determine the criteria's relative weights. The selected company exemplifies how the model can guide the selection of sports celebrity endorsers. The model ranks the importance to the target company of five criteria: trustworthiness, match-up, attractiveness, risk and expertise. The proposed model allows the company to select sports celebrity endorsers effectively, and contributes to academia and commerce.

Relatively independent evaluation parameters are selected from many parameters through pedigree clustering.Learning the analytic hierarchy process (ahp) and entropy weight method can determine the weight, and at the same time to understand the error of the analytic hierarchy process (ahp) and entropy weight method is large, so the combination of the subjective and objective weight obtained by the two methods, using the improved entropy weight-ahp method to determine the weight. The improved weight calculation method has a clear hierarchical structure, which not only considers the influence of subjective and objective factors, but also makes full use of the weight information in the hierarchical structure. Considering the uncertainty of information, gray relation is adopted to deal with the data, so as to make maintenance rules.

The script of a drama is key to achieving an outstanding performance. This study develops a new model for selecting the scripts of Taiwanese dramas based on the production manager's perceptions. First, the proposed model adopts the modified delphi method to determine suitable evaluative criteria for the scripts of contemporary Taiwanese dramas. Next, the model applies the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) to determine the relative weights of evaluative criteria, thereafter rating the alternatives and selecting the best script. Additionally, a Taiwanese company is used how the scripts of Taiwanese dramas can be selected using this model. The results indicate that important criteria, in order of important, are characteristics of the story, the subject matter of the script, the meaning of the words, and the scriptwriter. The proposed model helps companies to effectively select the scripts of Taiwanese dramas, making it highly applicable for academia and commerce.

To solve the problem of partnership choice for iron and steel logistics alliance, a method to choose cooperative partners based on Analytic Hierarchy Process and Fuzzy Synthetic Evaluation was proposed. AHP was used to construct the hierarchical structure of partner evaluating indicator and determine the corresponding weight. Fuzzy Synthetic Evaluation was adopted to assess and choose partners. For verifying the method, a logistics company was analyzed as an example. The results show that this method may reduce the influence of subjective factors on the partner choice, enhance the accuracy and reliability of partner choice, and strengthen the competitiveness of iron and steel logistics alliance.

This study develops a model for selecting a host for a travel show. First, the proposed model adopts the “Modified Delphi Method” to find out suitable criteria to evaluative hosts of travel shows. Next, the research model applies the “Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP)” to determine the relative weights of the evaluative criteria, and then ranks the alternatives and selects the optimum host for a travel show. Additionally, a well-known Taiwanese TV station is taken as an example, to demonstrate how a new host of a travel show is selected by applying this model. The results indicate that managers of commercial TV stations rank criteria in the following order of importance: “Image”, “Viewpoint from production”, “Professional skills”, and “Personal conditions”. Eventually, using the sensitivity analysis to test criteria when assessing factors of weight changes and how about the other assessment factors.

This paper proposes an evaluation framework of input elements in developing sustainable manufacturing (SM) initiatives using the hierarchical structure of sustainability indicators set developed by the US National Institute of Standards and Technology (US NIST) and the analytic hierarchy process (AHP). Determining priority input elements in the development process is essential to ensure that SM initiatives are responsive to the demands of sustainability at firm level. This evaluation exposes a challenge due to the multi-criteria nature of the problem and the presence of subjective criteria with limited available information on their measurement systems. The use of AHP in the context of the hierarchical structure of the US NIST sustainability indicators set provides a comprehensive and promising approach in identifying fundamental inputs in developing effective programs and initiatives that address sustainability. The contribution of this work lies on presenting a framework that could guide decision-makers, in a way that is simple and comprehensive, in their attempt to promote sustainability. Results and implications are reported in this work.
