Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process Utilization in Government Projects : A Systematic Review of Implementation Processes
Uncertain assessments challenge the aggregation of expert knowledge in the
field of decision-making. Valuable, yet sometimes hesitant, insight of expert decision makers
needs to be converted into numerically comparative form in the age of information
management. . Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (FAHP) enables the comparison of decision
elements through expert judgements, even when the information at hand is uncertain.
The present study explores Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (FAHP) implementation in
government projects in a systematic literature review. Theoretical framework for Analytic
Hierarchy Process (AHP), Fuzzy Set Theory (FST) and their combination, namely Fuzzy Analytic
Hierarchy Process (FAHP) is provided.
The systematic literature review categorizes research results under three categories and
examines each paper by utilizing review questions. Three main application purposes rise from
the literature review; policy planning and assessment, project selection and project and
performance evaluation. Overall implementation processes of the three application areas are
discussed. The conclusion provides comprehensive evaluation of the approach and
considerations for practitioners.Asiantuntijanäkemysten epävarmuus vaikeuttaa tiedon keräämistä päätöksenteossa.
Päätöksentekoprosessin kannalta arvokkaat, vaikkakin joskus epävarmat,
asiantuntijanäkemykset tulee voida muuttaa numerollisesti vertailtavaan muotoon
tietojohtamisen aikakautena. Sumea Analyyttinen Hierarkiaprosessi mahdollistaa
päätöksenteossa käytettävien elementtien vertailun asiantuntija-arviointien avulla, jopa
silloin kun käytettävissä oleva tieto on epävarmaa.

Hesitant Fuzzy Linguistic Analytic Hierarchical Process With Prioritization, Consistency Checking, and Inconsistency Repairing
Analytic hierarchy process (AHP), as one of the most important methods to tackle multiple
criteria decision-making problems, has achieved much success over the past several decades. Given that
linguistic expressions are much closer than numerical values or single linguistic terms to a human way of
thinking and cognition, this paper investigates the AHP with comparative linguistic expressions. After providing
the snapshot of classical AHP and its fuzzy extensions, we propose the framework of hesitant
fuzzy linguistic AHP, which shows how to yield a decision for qualitative decision-making problems with
complex linguistic expressions. First, the comparative linguistic expressions over criteria or alternatives
are transformed into hesitant fuzzy linguistic elements and then the hesitant fuzzy linguistic preference
relations (HFLPRs) are constructed. Considering that HFLPRs may be inconsistent, we conduct consistency
checking and improving processes after obtaining priorities from the HFLPRs based on a linear programming
method. Regarding the consistency-improving process, we develop a new way to establish a perfectly
consistent HFLPR. The procedure of the hesitant fuzzy linguistic AHP is given in stepwise. Finally,
a numerical example concerning the used-car management in a lemon market is given to illustrate the
ef ciency of the proposed hesitant fuzzy linguistic AHP method.This work was supported in part by the National Natural Science Foundation of China under Grant 71771156, in part by the 2019 Sichuan

Development of Hesitant Fuzzy-Based Project Selection Method with Consideration of Benefits, Opportunities, Costs and Risks
PT X, a power generation company, hasn’t been able to meet their target in the business development segment over the past few years. This is due to a problem detected in their Project Portfolio Management, in which PT X’s project selection method hasn’t considered the ambiguity nature of project’s information and risks. This study is going to develop a project selection method for PT X using MCDM (multi criteria decision making) with BOCR (benefit, opportunity, cost, risk) Concept to evaluate many criteria that need to be considered by the company, especially conflicting criteria such as benefit with cost and opportunity with risk. Not only that, hesitant fuzzy will be used because project itself has many uncertain or ambiguous information, so stakeholder will face difficulties in determining the value for the evaluation. From the integration of those things in this study, it is found that for PT X, Benefit has the biggest priority, followed by Opportunity, Risk, and Cost in Project Selection for PT X. It is also found that based on additive-BOCR, Project C gives the optimal value for PT X, followed by Project B, Project A, Project D, dan Project E.
An overview on managing additive consistency of reciprocal preference relations for consistency-driven decision making and Fusion: Taxonomy and future directions
The file attached to this record is the author's final peer reviewed version. The Publisher's final version can be found by following the DOI link.The reciprocal preference relation (RPR) is a powerful tool to represent decision makers’ preferences in decision making problems. In recent years, various types of RPRs have been reported and investigated, some of them being the ‘classical’ RPRs, interval-valued RPRs and hesitant RPRs. Additive consistency is one of the most commonly used property to measure the consistency of RPRs, with many methods developed to manage additive consistency of RPRs. To provide a clear perspective on additive consistency issues of RPRs, this paper reviews the consistency measurements of the different types of RPRs. Then, consistency-driven decision making and information fusion methods are also reviewed and classified into four main types: consistency improving methods; consistency-based methods to manage incomplete RPRs; consistency control in consensus decision making methods; and consistency-driven linguistic decision making methods. Finally, with respect to insights gained from prior researches, further directions for the research are proposed
Bibliometric analysis of quality function deployment with fuzzy systems
Research on quality function deployment (QFD) with fuzzy systems has increased since the 2000s. The growing number of QFD applications with fuzzy systems indicates worldwide attention on this field of research. Then, two research questions arise: Are there some trends? And, are there some research gaps? This paper presents bibliometric analysis to answer those questions, performed on data from Scopus database, in a total output of 598 documents. Only articles and reviews were searched. China is the leading country in publication and international collaboration (207 published documents, more than a third of total). The main finding of analysis is the trend of QFD integration with fuzzy and multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) methods. This could be observed with different applications as new product development, quality management, service quality, and supply chain management, to name a few.CAPES - Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior(undefined
Understanding location decisions of energy multinational enterprises within the European smart cities’ context: An integrated AHP and extended fuzzy linguistic TOPSIS method
Becoming a smart city is one of the top priorities in the urban agenda of many European cities. Among the various strategies in the transition path, local governments seek to bring innovation to their cities by encouraging multinational enterprises to deploy their green energy services and products in their municipalities. Knowing how to attract these enterprises implies that political leaders understand the multi-criteria decision problem that the energy sector enterprises face when deciding whether to expand to one city or another. To this end, the purpose of this study is to design a new manageable and controllable framework oriented to European cities’ public managers, based on the assessment of criteria and sub-criteria governing the strategic location decision made by these enterprises. A decision support framework is developed based on the AHP technique combined with an extended version of the hesitant fuzzy linguistic TOPSIS method. The main results indicate the higher relative importance of government policies, such as degree of transparency or bureaucracy level, as compared to market conditions or economic aspects of the city’s host country. These results can be great assets to current European leaders, they show the feasibility of the method and open up the possibility to replicate the proposed framework to other sectors or geographical areas.The authors acknowledge the support from the European Union “Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Programme” under the grant agreements No 731297.
