Intuitionistic Fuzzy Analytic Network Process
IEEE Transactions on Fuzzy Systems, 2018Since the analytic network process (ANP) is much more flexible than the analytic hierarchy process in handling the multiple criteria decision making (MCDM) problems in which the criteria or subcriteria are interdependent, it has attracted many scholars’ attention and has been applied into many different areas.

This paper proposes a two-stage fuzzy logarithmic preference programming with multi-criteria decision-making, in order to derive the priorities of comparison matrices in the analytic hierarchy pprocess (AHP) and the analytic network process (ANP). The Fuzzy Preference Programming (FPP) proposed by Mikhailov and Singh [L. Mikhailov, M.G.

Modeling risk based maintenance using fuzzy analytic network process
Expert Systems With Applications, 2012The study deals with the problem of maintenance policy selection for an industrial unit. Maintenance policy selection is a multiple criteria decision making problem. Criteria considered here are 'risk of equipment failure' and the 'cost of maintenance'.

Commodity acquisition is one of the most critical tasks in a firm especially for an accountancy department. Because of imprecise and uncertain product requirements, firm accountants have to make their best effort at this stage. Determining the most critical criteria for commodity acquisition process is a vital means for a firm to balance its limited ...

Currently, the analytic network process (ANP) method is widely employed to consider the multiple criteria analysis problems with dependence and feedback effects. However, in order to extend the ANP to resolve the problem of uncertainty or human subjective judgment, the concepts of fuzzy numbers should be incorporated into the ANP to represent the ...

A Constrained Fuzzy Arithmetic Method for the Fuzzy Analytic Network Process
Fourth International Conference on Fuzzy Systems and Knowledge Discovery (FSKD 2007), 2007In this paper, we extend the analytic network process (ANP) by using fuzzy judgments to resolve the problem of uncertainty. Instead of providing crisp global weights, the proposed method, called the fuzzy analytic network process (FANP), provides both fuzzy local weights and fuzzy global weights.

A new approach for deriving fuzzy global priorities in fuzzy analytic network process
Journal of Intelligent & Fuzzy Systems, 2016This paper proposes a new approach for deriving fuzzy global priorities in fuzzy analytic network process. Due to the convergence problem in taking the limit of the fuzzy supermatrix, it is relatively difficult to generate fuzzy global priorities from fuzzy analytic network process.

Intuitionistic fuzzy analytical network process models for maritime supply chain
Applied Soft Computing, 2020Abstract The aim of this study is to introduce three models along with four methods for intuitionistic fuzzy analytical network process (IFANP) and discuss the conceptual framework of process management for maritime supply chain. For the first time, in this study, centric consistency index is employed for all individual and aggregated judgment ...

A MATRIX METHOD FOR THE FUZZY ANALYTIC NETWORK PROCESS
International Journal of Uncertainty, Fuzziness and Knowledge-Based Systems, 2008In this paper, the fuzzy analytic network process (FANP) is proposed. For achieving this purpose, two problems are highlighted and overcome in this paper. First, the postulate of the reciprocal matrix should be released, because this property is not satisfied in the fuzzy comparison matrix.
