Product recovery activities such as recycling, refurbishing and direct reuse are becoming integral to manufacturing supply chains. This study presents a multicriteria decision making model for reverse logistics using analytical hierarchy process (AHP). The AHP model evaluates a hierarchy of criteria and subcriteria, including costs and business relations, for critical decisions regarding network design. Using sensitivity analysis with AHP, the work provides insights into the preference ordering among eight alternative network configurations. For instance, the choice of test sites is largely dependent on the potential for cost savings on testing procedures and transportation of scrap, and this decision is not sensitive to the importance of business relations. By contrast, the choice of collection sites is largely determined by the relative importance of business relations considerations vs. cost considerations. As well, the processing location decision favors a third-party reprocessor if there is little need to protect proprietary product knowledge and cost savings is very important. The model is demonstrated using three case studies of real-world applications.read more

Multi-criteria evaluation model for the selection of sustainable materials for building projects
TL;DR: In this paper, a building material selection model based on fuzzy extended analytical hierarchy process (FEAHP) techniques is proposed to provide solutions for two major issues: assessment based on sustainability principles, and the process of prioritizing and assigning weights to relevant assessment criteria.

A social network analysis trust-consensus based approach to group decision-making problems with interval-valued fuzzy reciprocal preference relations
TL;DR: A social network analysis (SNA) trust-consensus based group decision making model with interval-valued fuzzy reciprocal preference relation (IFRPR) with main novelty is that it determines the importance degree of experts by combining two reliable resources: trust degree (TD) and consensus level (CL).

Decision making with the analytic hierarchy process
TL;DR: The Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) is a theory of measurement through pairwise comparisons and relies on the judgements of experts to derive priority scales that measure intangibles in relative terms.

Decision Making with the Analytic Hierarchy Process
TL;DR: The Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) as discussed by the authors is a theory of measurement through pairwise comparisons and relies on the judgements of experts to derive priority scales, these scales are these scales that measure intangibles in relative terms.
