Facing the increasing competitive environment of globalization, companies are forced to make careful decisions so as to get the competitive advantage. The analytic hierarchy process (AHP) method has be proposed and popularly applied in many disciplines over three decades. In the past, many scholars also developed various improved methods such as Delphi AHP , fuzzy AHP, or Analytic Network Process (ANP) to enhance the decision quality. However, all the current AHP related methods have no function to provide enough reference information and a friendly environment to support the decision makers. Recently, Knowledge Management (KM) has attracted a great deal of interest in industry and academy. Therefore, in this paper, we proposed a KM-based AHP decision-making method to provide the questionnaire designer a guideline or reference and developed a decision-support web questionnaire system based on the knowledge chain model. A case study of selecting a 4-axis machine tool was illustrated the implementation and applicability of this method, a mold manufacturing company was invited as the survey objective. The method proposed in this research provides a different research direction and it is general in form to be applied for the other multi-criteria decision making cases.

Multi Attribute Decision Making

Previous researches outlined the advantages of the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Analytic Network Process (ANP) methods in solving Multi-Attribute Decision Making (MADM) problems. The advancement of the above methods was continually developed as an effort to cover up various weaknesses. Mainly related to the consistency and linguistic variables in translating the expert opinions. Thus, it initialized the emergence of Fuzzy AHP (F-AHP) and Fuzzy ANP (F-ANP). Due to the restricted operation of these algorithms in smartphone selection, this research attempted to investigate the effectiveness of both methods in providing the analysis of criteria weight, the final recommendation weight, the product recommendation weight, and the execution time in DSS-SmartPhoneRec application development. A survey of one hundred respondents of University students identified the dominant criteria in selecting the smartphone, namely price, Random Access Memory (RAM), processor, internal memory, and camera. Hence, five alternative products were then chosen as the appropriate smartphones’ recommendations based on the respondent’s preferences.  As an automatic tool, a DSS-SmartPhoneRec application was built to analyze and compare between F-AHP and F-ANP methods in resolving the smartphone selection cases. It revealed that the level of consistency of criteria weight, the final weight of recommendation, and the weight that the product-based F-ANP was 40% greater than F-AHP. In terms of execution time, F-AHP had a shorter time than F-ANP. Meanwhile, the comparison of products recommendation from DSS-SmartPhoneRec and a manual test showed that F-ANP was 16% more in line with the respondents’ predilection. In a nutshell, the DSS-SmartPhoneRec administered the devote smartphone recommendations based on the user’s expectation. The comparison analysis furnished a learning outcome for the users in determining the appropriate MADM method tailored to the type of cases.

This chapter attempts to fill in the gap of evaluating the viability of adopting online marketing for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in service industries. As SMEs are generally characterized by shortage of resources, the use of online marketing strategies is apparently difficult. However, the current landscape of competition among SMEs in a global market economy prompts the necessity of adopting online marketing. With these, the decision-making process of SMEs in this area becomes complex and the decisions must integrate complex and interrelating criteria and constructs in order to provide a more holistic solution. Thus, this work adopts a multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) method particularly the analytic network process (ANP) in order to evaluate the practicability of using online marketing for service SMEs. It becomes highly relevant as it provides significant insights to decision-makers in SMEs regarding the use of online marketing strategy. The contribution of this chapter lies in the application of MCDM in evaluating viability of online marketing in service SMEs.

The Relationship

The prevalence of business-to-business (B2B) has made the relationship among firms more closer than ever. Whether in simple arm-length transactions or business cooperation, many firms, in order to reduce costs and achieve efficiency, have shifted their day-to-day operations from the tradition of relying on manpower to the use of information technology in handling tasks such as inventory, procurement, production planning, distribution, etc. As a result, the need of a business process information system is imminent for firms to coordinate with partners in the supply chain and to be sustainable in the competitive market. This study thus proposes a hybrid multi-criteria decision-making approach for evaluating business process information systems. First, the factors that should be taken into account in selecting an appropriate system are explored. The Decision-Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL) is adopted next to understand the interrelationships among the criteria. Based on the results from the DEMATEL, the Fuzzy Analytic Network Process (FANP) is applied to calculate the importance of the factors. Fuzzy Techniques for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (FTOPSIS) is used to rank the business process information systems. The interrelationship among the factors should be considered in the decision-making; thus, the FANP can be a recommended methodology. However, the FANP questionnaire is usually very lengthy and cumbersome. The use of DEMATEL in advance can shorten the questionnaire substantially. FTOPSIS is used to rank the alternatives so that the pairwise comparisons of the alternatives required in the FANP can be avoided. Fuzzy set theory is incorporated in the study so that the uncertainty and ambiguity present in decision-making can be considered. The proposed approach can provide references for decision makers for making relevant decisions and can be revised and adopted in similar problems.

Offshore wind power has been an important force to promote energy transformation. To build an advanced offshore wind farm, wind turbine selection requires the decision maker to explore new relevant criteria and evaluate alternatives with respect to decision criteria with assigning importance weightings to the criteria. In this paper, we devise a novel hybrid multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) approach for offshore wind turbine selection by reconstructing analytic network process (ANP) and entropy-weight method (EWM). Based on the assigned weightings for ANP and EWM, the best alternative can be selected. For the decision-making model, five main criteria are specifically subdivided into 22 sub-criteria. The method is then applied to deal with the quantitative and qualitative inputs and the interrelation of criteria as arising from decision-making process. The results show that the proposed method can effectively select the optimal one from four different types of alternative offshore wind turbines.

To generate alternatives and variations of specific architectural models, shape grammars can be used by applying a set of geometric rules step by step. With the development in human life, advances in store design, design concept, commercial buildings’ architectural and spatial fiction, the magazine of the interior, and facade design cause rising competition between stores and also between designers. For this reason, in this paper we study the evaluation of store plan alternatives produced with shape grammar using two of multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) techniques with fuzzy numbers, namely fuzzy analytic hierarchy process and fuzzy analytic network process. The main contribution of this paper is to prioritize plan alternatives using numerical methods with experts’ view. To the authors’ knowledge, this will be the first interdisciplinary study which uses MCDM techniques for evaluating shape grammar outputs in architectural design.

<p>Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) play a significant role for Indonesian economy. However, many SMEs have difficulty developing its business. The various SME development programs that are provided are generally less impactful, ineffective, and unsustainable. Therefore, a special study is needed to determine the development program for SMEs. This research integrates two methods in multi criteria decision making (MCDM), i.e. decision-making method of trial and evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL) and analytic network process (ANP) method to determine which internal factors that are most important for SMEs development. Based on the data obtained from the experts and the results of the analysis, internal factor that has biggest weight for the development of SMEs are managerial quality, investment, business owner characteristics, and entrepreneurial orientation; consecutively. Moreover, technology awareness and the determination and achievement of targets (sub-factor of managerial quality), technological development (sub-factor of investment), and membership/involvement in business/association groups (sub-factor of business owner characteristics) are significant factor for SMEs development. SMEs development programs should focus on improving these factors so that Indonesian SMEs can experience sustainable growth.<br />Keywords: development programs, small and medium enterprises (SMEs), decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL), analytic network process (ANP), internal factors.</p>
