The environmental pressure from various stakeholders, particularly in the selection of green suppliers in the industrial sector, is alarming. The companies are realizing the significance of incorporating green practices in their daily operations. This chapter proposes a framework on the criteria of GSCM practices using MCDM analysis to select green suppliers for an Indian electronics company. The authors have collected the data from a set of 10 available suppliers. The authors use fuzzy AHP and fuzzy TOPSIS approach to rank the suppliers based on the decision makers' preferences on the selection of green suppliers using GSCM practices. The three dominating criteria concluded by the results are the commitment of senior management towards GSCM; product design that incorporates three R's policy for component, materials, and energy; abidance with environmental laws and auditing programs. This chapter carries out a comparison between Fuzzy Analytical Hierarchy Process (FAHP) and Fuzzy TOPSIS method to enhance the quality of decision making and validate the rankings.

A municipality improves the quality of community life through its projects and actions. However, project selection and prioritization by municipalities are highly complex processes. Therefore, multicriteria decision making (MCDM) methodologies are very suitable for determining the best alternative. Recently, some studies have concentrated on the selection of the best project alternatives. In this paper, a two phased fuzzy MCDM methodology is proposed for the selection among municipal projects. In the first phase, fuzzy TOPSIS method is used to select the main project group and then fuzzy AHP is used to select the best sub-municipal project. The application of the suggested methodology has been made at the central district municipality in Konya, Turkey.

The selection of quality gemstones requires a special ability to select and assess the quality of gemstones to be traded. The diversity of types of gemstones and consumers becomes an obstacle in itself when the knowledge and ability of individuals to analyze the quality of gemstones is minimal. The decision-making method used is Fuzzy Analytical Hierarchy Process (F-AHP) method which is widely used in various sectors. F-AHP is easy to adapt to many decision issues; the research proposes a decision-making system using the F-AHP algorithm to analyze the quality of gemstones. The results obtained with the use of F-AHP model in the selection of quality gemstones show the highest quality of gemstones of all stones compared, Rubi 1, with a weight value of 0.152942.

Pakistan has long relied on fossil fuels for electricity generation. This is despite the fact that the country is blessed with enormous renewable energy (RE) resources, which can significantly diversify the fuel mix for electricity generation. In this study, various renewable resources of Pakistan—solar, hydro, biomass, wind, and geothermal energy—are analyzed by using an integrated Delphi-analytical hierarchy process (AHP) and fuzzy technique for order of preference by similarity to ideal solution (F-TOPSIS)-based methodology. In the first phase, the Delphi method was employed to define and select the most important criteria for the selection of RE resources. This process identified four main criteria, i.e., economic, environmental, technical, and socio-political aspects, which are further supplemented by 20 sub-criteria. AHP is later used to obtain the weights of each criterion and the sub-criteria of the decision model. The results of this study reveal wind energy as the most feasible RE resource for electricity generation followed by hydropower, solar, biomass, and geothermal energy. The sensitivity analysis of the decision model results shows that the results of this study are significant, reliable, and robust. The study provides important insights related to the prioritizing of RE resources for electricity generation and can be used to undertake policy decisions toward sustainable energy planning in Pakistan.

AbstrakPemilihan kualitas batu mulia membutuhkan kemampuan khusus untuk memilih dan menilai kualitas batu mulia yang akan diperdagangkan. Keberagaman jenis batu mulia dan konsumen menjadi kendala tersendiri ketika pengetahuan dan kemampuan individu dalam menganalisis kualitas batu mulia sangatlah minim.Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kuantitatif dengan menggunakan model Fuzzy AHP. Pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan cara konsultasi dengan Direktur Kantor Pusat Promosi Batu Mulia Indonesia GEM-AFIA GROUP  di Bandung sehingga dihasilkan kriteria-kriteria terbaik dalam pemilihan kualitas perdagangan batu mulia. Kriteria-kriteria tersebut kemudian disusun berdasarkan literatur, observasi dan wawancara, selanjutnya diberi penilaian perbandingan berpasangan dengan AHP untuk mencari bobot informasional dan menggunakan TFN untuk mencari upper excepted value.Hasil yang didapat dengan menggunaan model Fuzzy AHP dalam pemilihan kualitas perdagangan batu mulia menunjukkan bahwa kriteria berat jenis, warna, kekerasan, pemotongan, dan kejernihan merupakan kriteria utama dalam pemilihan kualitas perdagangan batu mulia. Fuzzy AHP dalam penilaian tingkat kosistensi dilakukan pada level struktur hierarki dan mampu mengakomodir ketidak konsistenan dalam penilaian. Kata kunci—AHP (Analysis Hierarchy Process), Fuzzy AHP, TFN (Triangular Fuzzy Number), upper eecepted upper. AbstractThe selection process of Precious stone quality requires particular ability in selecting and assessing the quality of traded Precious stones .

Abstract Outsourcing is the action of contracting a specific task, function, or process to an external company instead of using an organisation’s resources. The history of outsourcing goes back to the 1980s when it was used for cost reduction in non-core business operations. Over time, outsourcing has moved to more strategic areas and has become an important factor in business performance. The selection of the best alternative among alternative outsource manufacturers is a multi-criteria decision-making problem. In this study, the fuzzy set theory is used to capture the uncertainty embedded into the decision problem. In this paper, an interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process and Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution-based methodology is proposed, and an application is provided for the evaluation of outsource manufacturers.

Over a billion people travel by air all over the world every year, and there are many in-flight retailing opportunities for the airline industry. This paper proposes a novel integration fuzzy analytical hierarchy process (FAHP), fuzzy additive ratio assessment (FARAS), and multisegment goal programming (MSGP) methods to select the best supplier for in-flight duty-free product in airline industry. The advantage of this proposed method is that it allows decision makers (DMs) to set multisegment aspiration vague levels considering both the qualitative and quantitative criteria for supplier selection simultaneously. To the best of our knowledge, a simultaneous consideration of qualitative and quantitative criteria for supplier selection of in-flight duty-free product has never been applied under the airline retail industry context. This research will fill into the gaps of supplier selection in in-fight duty-free product for airline industry. The integrated model is illustrated by an example in an airline company in Taiwan.

To fulfil the increasing demands of the public,Public Private Partnership (PPP) has beenincreasingly used to procure infrastructureprojects, such as motor ways, bridges, tunnelsand railways. However, the risks involved inPPP projects are unique and dynamic due tolarge amount of investment and longconcession period. This paper aims to developa risk identification framework from theperspectives of project life cycle, and anassessment framework for risks associatedwith PPP project using fuzzy analyticalhierarchy process (AHP). First the paperreviews the current literature to identifycommon risks in PPP infrastructure projectsand classification methods used. The risksidentified from the literature were classifiedusing project life cycle perspectives. Followingthat, the paper presents the advantages offuzzy AHP. Furthermore, the paper provides aframework for assessment of risks in PPPprojects followed by an illustrative examplewhere the data was obtained from surveyquestionnaires. The paper concludes that risksassociated in PPP infrastructure projects areunique and therefore it is beneficial to classifythem from project life cycle perspectives, andthe proposed fuzzy AHP method is suitable forthe assessment of these risks.

In the past few years, reverse logistics practices have successfully managed to gain more attention in various industries and among supply chain researchers and experts. This is due to globalization, environmental concerns, and customer requirements, which have asserted industries’ concerns for reverse logistics management. In E-commerce, the process of reverse logistics originates with parcel refusal, undelivered goods, and exchanges. In developing countries like Pakistan, the adoption and implications of reverse logistics are still at their early stages. E-commerce companies give more attention to forward logistics and ignore logistics’ upstream flow in the supply chain. This study aims to identify, as well as list, the barriers and obtain the solutions to those identified barriers, and rank the barriers and their solutions so that logisticians and experts can solve them as per their priority. From the extensive literature review and experts’ opinions, we have found 14 barriers in implementing effective reverse logistics. Eight solutions to those barriers were also found from the literature review. This paper proposed the methodology based on fuzzy analytical hierarchy process (fuzzy-AHP), which used to get the weights of each barrier by using pairwise comparison, and fuzzy technique for order performance by similarity to ideal solution (fuzzy-TOPSIS) method, which was adopted for the final ranking of solutions to reverse logistics. The case of the Pakistan E-commerce industry is used in the proposed method.
