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.

Driven by the vague assessment big data, a product service system (PSS) evaluation method is developed based on a hybrid model of multi-weight combination and improved TOPSIS by relative entropy. The index values of PSS alternatives are solved by the integration of the stakeholders' vague assessment comments presented in the form of trapezoidal fuzzy numbers. Multi-weight combination method is proposed for index weight solving of PSS evaluation decision-making. An improved TOPSIS by relative entropy (RE) is presented to overcome the shortcomings of traditional TOPSIS and related modified TOPSIS and then PSS alternatives are evaluated. A PSS evaluation case in a printer company is given to test and verify the proposed model. The RE closeness of seven PSS alternatives are 0.3940, 0.5147, 0.7913, 0.3719, 0.2403, 0.4959, and 0.6332 and the one with the highest RE closeness is selected as the best alternative. The results of comparison examples show that the presented model can compensate for the shortcomings of existing traditional methods.

In this paper, we propose a destination optimal route algorithm for providing route finding service for the transportation handicapped by using the multi-criteria decision-making technique and the modified A-STAR optimal route search algorithm. This is a method to set the route to the destination centering on safety by replacing the distance cost of the existing A-STAR optimal route search algorithm with the safety cost calculated through AHP/TOPSIS analysis. To this end, 10 factors such as road damage, curb, and road hole were first classified as poor road factors that hinder road driving, and then pairwise comparison of AHP was analyzed and then defined as the weight of TOPSIS. Afterwards, the degree of driving safety was quantified for a certain road section in Busan through TOPSIS analysis, and the development of an optimal route search algorithm for the transportation handicapped that replaces the distance cost with safety in the finally modified A-STAR optimal route algorithm was completed.

본 연구는 관리적 목적에서 대학의 학과 홈페이지 평가를 위한 TOPSIS 기반의 응용을 제시한다. 학령인구 감소시대를 맞아 대학의 학과 홈페이지는 입시 전략의 관점에서는 중요한 홍보 수단의 의미를 갖는다. 하지만 대부분 리뉴얼과 같은 전면적 개편 전에는 관리가 잘되지 않는다. 비록 입시전략 차원에서 홈페이지 관리는 중요한 일이지만 단순한 관리 목적의 평가에 많은 노력이나 비용을 투자하기는 어렵기 때문이다. 그래서 본 논문은 현실성을 고려하여 관리 목적에서 대학의 학과 홈페이지 평가에 부분적으로 수정된 TOPSIS를 적용하여 그 유용성을 보이고자 한다. TOPSIS는 각 기준에 대한 이상적인 목푯값으로 부터 편차 거리를 기반으로 하여 우선순위를 결정해 주는 개념적 이유로 목표 관리를 위한 평가도구로 사용하기에 합당하다고 본다. 그리고 사용되는 평가 기준들의 방향성이 같은 단조증가 함수 같은 경우 본 연구에서 제시된 바와 같이 부분적으로 수정된 절차를 통하여 계산량을 줄여도 동일한 결과를 얻을 수 있다.

The ABC analysis is a widely used inventory control technique which consists of classifying inventory items into three categories according to annual dollar usage and concentrating managerial efforts on the high value items. But its major weakness is that the classification is somewhat arbitrary and is made in the light of single criterion, the annual usage. In this paper, a modified approach using TOPSIS is proposed where 1) the inventory items are ranked, rather than classified into three categories, in the order of relative importance and 2) the latter is determined by considering the multiple criteria such as annual usage, difficulty of procurement, lead time and shelf life. A case study was performed with the field data from a company producing electronical parts. The rank order produced by TOPSIS was judged quite reasonable by the company inventory control manager.

본 연구에서는 다기준 의사결정기법을 적용한 홍수취약성 평가에 내재되는 불확실성을 고려한 평가기법을 제시하였다. 홍수취약성평가과정은 3단계로 구성되며 1단계에서는 홍수와 연관되는 사회적, 경제적, 환경적 영향요인들 중에서 지역의 특성을 반영할 수 있는 평가인자를 선정하고 각 인자의 가중치를 책정한다. 이때 델파이 설문조사기법을 적용하여 의사결정자들의 의견을 수렴한다. 2단계는 평가자료를 수집하고 평가에 사용할 수 있도록 가공하는 단계이며 불확실성 문제를 해소하기 위하여 퍼지수를 적용하였다. 마지막단계에서 홍수취약성을 정량적으로 산정하여 취약지역의 우선순위를 도출한다. 본 연구에서는 퍼지수의 연산과정에서 발생하는 퍼지수의 과장 및 왜곡문제를 해소하기 위한 ${\alpha}$-cut fuzzy TOPSIS 방법을 적용하였다. 또한 수립한 평가기법으로 산정한 결과에 대하여 퍼지자료(fuzzy data)를 적용한 fuzzy TOPSIS, 크리스프(crisp) 자료를 사용한 TOPSIS, WSM등의 다양한 방법으로 평가한 결과들과의 상관관계분석을 수행하였다. 분석결과, ${\alpha}$-cut fuzzy TOPSIS 방법은 대체로 모든 방법과 높은 상관성을 나타내었다. 즉, 크리스프 자료와 퍼지자료를 사용하는 평가방법 사이에서 발생하는 결과의 차이가 ${\alpha}$-cut fuzzy TOPSIS를 이용하면 줄어드는 효과가 있다. 따라서본 연구에서 수립한 홍수취약성 평가방법은 불확실성 문제를 일정 부분 해소한 평가결과를 제시함으로서 치수정책 수립의 유용한 근거자료를 제공할 수 있다.

An automated injection molding design methodology has been developed to optimize multiple quality attributes, which are usually in conflict with each other, in injection molded parts. For the optimization, commercial CAE simulation tools and optimization techniques are integrated into the methodology. To decal with the multiple objective problem the relative closeness computed in TOPSIS(Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution) is used as a performance measurement index for optimization multiple part defects. To attain robustness against process variation, Taguchi's quadratic loss function is introduced in the TOPSIS. Also, the modified complex method is used as an optimization tool to optimize objective function. The verification of the developed design methodology was carried out on simulation software with an actual model. Applied to production this methodology will be useful to companies in reducing their product development time and enhancing their product quality.

This paper presents a methodology to be able to select an appropriate RP system that suits the end use of a part. Evaluation factors used in process selection include major attributes such as accuracy, roughness, strength, elongation, part cost and build time that greatly affect the performance of RP systems. Crisp values such as accuracy and surface roughness are obtained with a new test part developed. The test part is designed with conjoint analysis to reflect users' preference. The part cost and build time that have approximate ranges due to cost and many variable parameters are presented by linguistic values that can be described with triangular fuzzy numbers. Based on the evaluation values obtained, an appropriate RP process for a specific part application is selected by using the modified TOPSIS(Technique of Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution) method. It uses crisp data as well as linguistic variables, and each weight on the alternatives is assigned by using pair-wise comparison matrix. The ranking order helps the decision making of the selection of RP systems.

FE models for complex or large-scaled structures that need detailed modeling of structural components are usually constructed using commercial analysis softwares. Updating of such FE model by conventional sensitivity-based methods is difficult since repeated computation for perturbed parameters and manual calculations are needed to obtain sensitivity matrix in each iteration. In this study, an FE model updating procedure avoiding such difficulties by using response surface (RS) method and a Pareto-based multiobjective optimization (MOO) was formulated and applied to FE models constructed with a commercial analysis package. The test building is a low-rise reinforced concrete building that has been seismically retrofitted. Dynamic properties of the building were extracted from vibration tests performed before and after the seismic retrofits, respectively. The elastic modulus of concrete and masonry, and spring constants for the expansion joint were updated. Two RS functions representing the errors in the natural frequencies and mode shape, respectively, were obtained and used as the objective functions for MOO. Among the Pareto solutions, the best compromise solution was determined using the TOPSIS (Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution) procedure. A similar task was performed for retrofitted building by taking the updating parameters as the stiffness of modified or added members. Obtained parameters of the existing building were reasonably comparable with the current code provisions. However, the stiffness of added concrete shear walls and steel section jacketed members were considerably lower than expectation. Such low values are seemingly because the bond between new and existing concrete was not as good as the monolithically casted members, even though they were connected by the anchoring bars.

This paper proposes a method for optimal placement of Phasor Measurement Units (PMUs) considering system configuration and its attributes during the planning phase of PMU deployment. Each bus of the system is assessed on four diverse attributes; namely, redundancy of measurements, rotor angle and frequency monitoring of generator buses, reactive power deficiency, and maximum loading limit under transmission line outage contingency, and a consolidated 'degree of criticality' is determined using Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS). The major contribution of the proposed work is the development of modified objective function which incorporates values of the degree of criticality of buses. The problem is formulated as maximization of the aggregate degree of criticality of the system. The resultant PMU configuration extends complete observability of the system and majority of the PMUs are located on critical buses. As budgetary restrictions on utilities may not allow installation PMUs even at optimal locations in a single phase, multi-horizon deployment of PMUs is also addressed. The proposed approach is tested on IEEE 14-bus, IEEE 30-bus, New England (NE) 39-bus, IEEE 57-bus and IEEE 118-bus systems and compared with some existing methods.
