Nowadays, green purchasing, stop global warming, love the mother earth, and others that related to environment become hot issues. Manufactures industries tend to more active and responsive to those issues by adopting green strategies or program like Environmentally Conscious Manufacturing (ECM). In this article, an electronic company had applied 12 ECM Program and tries to choose one of those programs using 6 criteria, such as total cost involved, quality, recyclable material, process waste reduction, packaging waste reduction, and regulation compliance. By using multi-criteria decision making model, i.e. Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP), Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS), and Modified TOPSIS methods, the ECM Program 9 (Open pit) is the best option.

Multiple attribute for decision making including user preference will increase the complexity of route selection process. Various approaches have been proposed to solve the optimal route selection problem. In this paper, multi attribute decision making (MADM) algorithms such as Simple Additive Weighting (SAW), Weighted Product Method (WPM), Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) method and Total Order Preference by Similarity to the Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) methods have been proposed for acoustic signature based optimal route selection to facilitate user with better quality of service. The traffic density state conditions (very low, low, below medium, medium, above medium, high and very high) on the road segment is the occurrence and mixture weightings of traffic noise signals (Tyre, Engine, Air Turbulence, Exhaust, and Honks etc) is considered as one of the attribute in decision making process. The short-term spectral envelope features of the cumulative acoustic signals are extracted using Mel-Frequency Cepstral Coefficients (MFCC) and Adaptive Neuro-Fuzzy Classifier (ANFC) is used to model seven traffic density states. Simple point method and AHP has been used for calculation of weights of decision parameters. Numerical results show that WPM, AHP and TOPSIS provide similar performance.

This paper is aimed to present a fuzzy decision-making approach to deal with disaster recovery priority decision problem in information system. We derive an evaluation approach based on TOPSIS(Technique for Order Performance by Similarity to Ideal Solution), to help disaster recovery priority decision of total information system for port logistics in a fuzzy environment where the vagueness and subjectivity are handled with linguistic terms parameterized by trapezoidal fuzzy numbers. This study applies the fuzzy multi-criteria decision-making method to determine the importance weight of evaluation criteria and to synthesize the ratings of candidate disaster recovery system. Aggregated the evaluators' attitude toward preference, then TOPSIS is employed to obtain a crisp overall performance value for each alternative to make a final decision. This approach is demonstrated with a real case study involving 4 evaluation criteria(system dependence, RTO, loss, alternative business support), 7 information systems for port logistics assessed by 5 evaluators from Maritime Affairs and Port Office.

Many companies in these days have pursued an outsourcing policy to survive in a highly competitive world market. To effectively deal with the outsourcing policy, it is required that the companies have a useful method to rationally evaluate a supplier's performance from a viewpoint of a company's strategy and in a comparative-integrated manner. In this paper, we examined the relative importance of supplier selection criteria for a company's strategy by conducting a survey and proposed "Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution(TOPSIS)" as one of the plausible techniques to evaluate a supplier's total performance. A hypothetical case study is presented to demonstrate the applicability of the method.

This research presents an in-depth analysis of location planning of the solar-hydrogen power plants for electricity production in different cities situated in Kerman province of Iran. Ten cities were analyzed in order to select the most suitable location for the construction of a solar-hydrogen power plant utilizing photovoltaic panels. Data envelopment analysis (DEA) methodology was applied to prioritize cities for installing the solar-hydrogen power plant so that one candidate location was selected for each city. Different criteria including population, distance to main road, flood risk, wind speed, sunshine hours, air temperature, humidity, horizontal solar irradiation, dust, and land costare used for the analysis. From the analysis, it is found that among the candidates' cities, the site of Lalezar is ranked as the first priority for the solar-hydrogen system development. A measure of validity is obtained when results of the DEA method are compared with the results of the technique for ordering preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS). Applying TOPSIS model, it was found that city of Lalezar ranked first, and Rafsanjan gained last priority for installing the solar-hydrogen power plants. Cities of Baft, Sirjan, Kerman, Shahrbabak, Kahnouj, Shahdad, Bam, and Jiroft ranked second to ninth, respectively. The validity of the DEA model is compared with the results of TOPSIS and it is demonstrated that the two methods produced similar results. The solar-hydrogen power plant is considered for installation in the city of Lalezar. It is demonstrated that installation of the proposed solar-hydrogen system in Lalezar can lead to yearly yield of 129 ton-H2 which covers 4.3% of total annual energy demands of the city.

2011년 한-유럽 FTA 체결 이후 두 지역의 거래액은 증가일로에 있으며 전체 시장은 지속적으로 확대되고 있다. 여러 운송수단을 이용하는 복합국제운송에 대한 관심이 늘어나며 기존의 해운운송 위주의 운송 방식에서 철도를 포함한 두 가지 이상의 운송수단을 사용하는 다중운송경로를 통한 운송이 확대되고 있다. COVID-19의 영향으로 2019년 세계 화물 시장이 타격을 받았는데 특히 해상 및 항공 노선의 급격한 제한에 기인하고 한국의 대유럽 수출도 감소하였다. 이러한 영향에도 2020년 CRE(China Railway Express) 화물 열차의 총 수는 2016년 대비 7.3배 증가한 12,406개 노선으로 전년 대비 50% 증가하였다. 철도를 이용한 육상기반의 화물운송에 대한 연구는 꾸준히 있어 왔으나 한국과 유럽의 운송노선에 대한 연구는 TSR(Trans Siberian Railway), 수에즈 해운(Suez Shipping), 기존 TCR(Trans China Railway) 노선에 국한되었다. 본 논문은 중국에서의 일대일로 구상에 따라 최근 변화를 겪고있는 실크로드의 핵심에 초점을 맞추어 중국-유럽 화물열차(CRE)를 대상으로 연구를 진행하였다. Fuzzy-AHP는 한국에서 유럽으로 가는 국제 복합항로 선정 시 요인의 우선순위를 결정하는데 사용하였으며 중국과 한국의 전문가 설문조사를 통해 결과를 도출하였다. 요인 선정 후 TOPSIS 방법을 적용하여 계획된 3개의 경로를 순위화하였다. 그 결과 총비용, 총시간, 서비스 신뢰도가 CRE 기반 복합운송을 선택할 때 의사결정자가 고려하는 요소로 나타났다. 또한, 주요 3개 복합운송노선에서 Route 1(인천-대련-만주-함부르크) 노선이 최적 노선이고 Route 2(인천-리차오-얼롄하오터-함부르크)와 Route 3(인천-롄윈강-시안-함부르크) 순서로 나타났다.
