Abstract

In existence of interval-valued parameters and managerial limitations, MCDM problems become more complex than their classical versions. In such cases, the classical MCDM techniques are not quite useful solution tools. This study focuses on a MCDM problem to establish the branches of a glass production company in all districts of Iran in existence of interval-valued parameters and managerial limitations. To overcome the above-mentioned difficulties, a typical decision framework is proposed. In the proposed framework, first, an interval Shannon's entropy approach is proposed to find interval criteria weights. Then a full interval TOPSIS approach is proposed to score the potential locations. Finally, using the obtained scores, a mixed integer linear programming model is developed to respect the constraints and find an optimised set of potential locations for the new branches. The proposed decision framework is validated by the real data of the case study and its sensitivity is studied in detail.

玻璃工业不确定多准则设施选址问题的MILP-MCDM综合决策框架

在区间值参数和管理限制的存在下，MCDM问题变得比它们的经典版本更复杂。在这种情况下，经典的MCDM技术不是很有用的解决方案工具。本研究的重点是在存在区间值参数和管理限制的情况下，在伊朗所有地区建立玻璃生产公司分支机构的MCDM问题。为了克服上述困难，提出了一个典型的决策框架。在所提出的框架中，首先，提出了一种区间Shannon熵方法来寻找区间标准权重。然后提出了一种全区间TOPSIS方法来对潜在位置进行评分。最后，使用获得的分数，开发了一个混合整数线性规划模型，以尊重约束并为新分支找到一组优化的潜在位置。通过案例研究的实际数据验证了所提出的决策框架，并对其敏感性进行了详细研究。

期刊介绍： The general themes of the IJMDM seek to develop our understanding of organisational decision making and the technology used to support the decision process. A particular purpose is to consider management processes in international and cross-cultural contexts and to secure international inputs and comparisons. The IJMDM aims to provide a new venue for high quality papers focusing on the analytical and empirical study of management processes in private and public sector organisations - including cases and action research.
