Neuro-fuzzy inference systems approach to decision support system for economic order quantity
Supply chain management (SCM) has a dynamic structure involving the constant flow of information, product, and funds among different participants. SCM is a complex process and most often characterized by uncertainty. Many values are stochastic and cannot be precisely determined and described by classical mathematical methods. Therefore, in solving real and complex problems individual methods of artificial intelligence are increasingly used, or th…
A new evaluation model for corporate financial performance using integrated CCSD and FCM-Aras approach
The financial performance is an indicator of financial stability, health and condition of any organisation. It could be utilised as a proper measure of the firm’s credibility and its ability to pay off debts. Financial institutions use this measure to determine the lending policy and applicants’ credits. This study proposes a model based on the CCSD weighing method and hybrid FCM-ARAS approach for clustering and evaluating the financial performan…
Updated discussions on ‘Hybrid multiple criteria decision-making methods
A recent review discussed a variety of hybrid multiple criteria decision-making (HMCDM) methods on the subject of sustainability issues.

State of Art Surveys of Overviews on McDm/Madm Methods
Decision-making is primarily a process that involves different actors: people, groups of people, institutions and the state. As a discipline, multi-criteria decision-making has a relatively short history. Since 1950s and 1960s, when foundations of modern multi-criteria decision-making methods have been laid, many researches devoted their time to development of new multi-criteria decision-making models and techniques. In the past decades, research…
