Enhancing Polybutylene Terephthalate (PBT) Composites: A PROMETHEE-Based Comparative Study of Reinforcement Materials

Polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) composites hold significant potential across various industrial applications due to their desirable mechanical, thermal, and electrical properties. In this study, we utilized the PROMETHEE (Preference Ranking Organization Method for Enrichment Evaluations) method to evaluate six alternative reinforcement materials for PBT composites: Glass Fibers (GF), Carbon Fibers (CF), Natural Fibers (NF), Carbon Nanotubes (CN), Nano-clay Particles (NP), and Aramid Fibers (AF). The evaluation parameters considered were Tensile Strength (MPa), Flexural Strength (MPa), Thermal Conductivity (W/mK), Electrical Conductivity (S/m), and Cost ($). Through comprehensive analysis, Carbon Nanotubes emerged as the top-ranked reinforcement material, exhibiting exceptional performance across all evaluation parameters. With high Tensile Strength, Flexural Strength, and Thermal Conductivity, combined with significant Electrical Conductivity, Carbon Nanotubes demonstrated their suitability for demanding applications. Additionally, while the Cost factor was comparatively higher, its superior performance justifies the investment. Conversely, Natural Fibers received the lowest rank among the alternatives. Despite potential advantages in cost-effectiveness and environmental sustainability, Natural Fibers exhibited inferior mechanical and thermal properties compared to other materials. Their low Tensile Strength, Flexural Strength, and negligible Electrical Conductivity highlight limitations in performance for many industrial applications. This study provides valuable insights for engineers and material scientists in selecting suitable reinforcement materials for PBT composites based on specific performance criteria. The PROMETHEE method offers a systematic approach to decision-making, facilitating informed choices in material selection for diverse applications. Future research could explore optimization strategies and further investigate the properties and potential applications of emerging reinforcement materials for PBT composites.

Optimizing Drug Delivery Vehicle with Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) - Based Excipient Selection

Excipients are used in drug delivery systems as a means of effectively delivering drugs to their target site. Multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) methods are tools for decision-making that consider multidimensional factors. Such methods are a comparative technology used in medicine that combines individual criteria into the total assessment of selected alternatives. This study aims to enhance the solubility and bioavailability of drugs through the application of MCDM-based excipient selection. By incorporating the Preference Ranking Organization Method for Enrichment Evaluations (PROMETHEE), various excipients can be evaluated and ranked based on their suitability for specific applications, considering parameters related to drug solubility and bioavailability. The results highlight the potential of cyclodextrins (net flow: 0.0023) and Eudragit polymers (net flow: 0.0016) as preferred options for drug carriers, while Poloxamer 188 (P188) (net flow: -0.0030) is identified as the least preferred option. This study demonstrates the effectiveness of the PROMETHEE method in improving the performance of poorly soluble and bioavailable drugs, ultimately contributing to the development of new drug delivery systems. The findings have significant implications for therapeutic outcomes in the treatment of diseases.

MCDM-AHP and PROMETHEE methods integrated for base service strategy vendor evaluation and selection

Business competition is very important in controlling product-savvy customers. Strong basic service techniques will be the main factor that binds vendors as the final destination in the supply chain through the strength of business network processes. This research aims to create a strategic basis for evaluating and selecting vendors through the integration process services of the multi-criteria decision-making method analytic hierarchy process (MCDM-AHP) and preference ranking organization method for enrichment evaluation (PROMETHEE) methods. Empirical studies show how this approach can provide optimal decision support for the vendor evaluation and selection process. Eight different types of criteria are required in its apps and must be realized as a barometer of the strategic basis for selecting vendors so that business processes are of high quality. These criteria include quality of goods, payment methods, payment terms, minimum transactions, discounts, delivery times, inventory, and service. The optimal weight for each criterion will be determined based on its importance to the synthesis process and its feasibility tested using mathematical algebra matrices and expert choice apps.

Water and Environmental Resources: A Multi-Criteria Assessment of Management Approaches

The present study applied a multi-criteria analysis to evaluate the best approach among six theoretical frameworks related to the integrated management of water–environmental resources, analyzing the frequency of multiple management criteria. The literature review covers the period from 1990 to 2015, with a notable presence of the theoretical frameworks of Integrated Water Resources Management (IWRM), Ecohealth, Ecosystem Approach (EA), Water Framework Directive (WFD), and, to a lesser extent, the Watershed Governance Prism (WGP) and the Sustainability Wheel (SW). The multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) methods applied include AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process), TOPSIS (Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution), and PROMETHEE (Preference Ranking Organization Method for Enrichment Evaluations). Twenty-five criteria were analyzed, such as governance, participation, sustainability, decentralization, and health and well-being, among others. We started with five criteria for evaluating the hierarchy of the six theoretical frameworks using the AHP method. Subsequently, we again evaluated the five criteria using the TOPSIS and PROMETHEE methods to calibrate the results with the AHP. Then, using word counting, we evaluated the best approach, applying 10, 15, 20, and 25 more criteria. Our results indicate that the best integrated management alternative was the WFD, which fulfilled 47% of the management criteria. Second, with 45%, was the WGP, and third was IWRM, with 41%; less successful approaches to the criteria were demonstrated by the EA, SW, and Ecohealth methods. By applying this methodology, we demonstrated an excellent structured tool that can aid in the selection of the most important issue within a given sector.

A Combined AHP-PROMETHEE Approach for Portfolio Performance Comparison

Comparing portfolio performance is complex due to the fact that each model is dominant in its own risk space. Since there is no single dominant performance measure, the research problem is how to incorporate several different measures into a performance evaluation model that allows portfolios to be ranked. In this regard, the objective of this study was to develop a new comprehensive method for comparing portfolio performance based on multiple-criteria decision-making (MCDM). This paper proposes an integrated approach for stock market decision making that combines the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and the Preference Ranking Organization Method for Enrichment Evaluations (PROMETHEE), which allow hierarchical evaluation of a finite number of alternatives according to different criteria. This hybrid approach is especially advantageous, utilizing the strengths of both individual methods. AHP enables the decomposition of a complex problem into its constituent parts and the determination of weights for criteria, while the PROMETHEE method allows the investor to determine the preference function, complete ranking, and analysis of the robustness of the results. For the MCDM model in this study, different dimensions of performance measures are considered criteria: return measures, risk measures, stability measures, and predictability measures. The methodology has been applied in comparing real portfolios selected on the basis of different risk measures. For this purpose, weekly return data were used for a sample of stocks that are components of the STOXX Europe 600 Index for the period 2000–2020. In addition, a sensitivity analysis is performed to investigate the strength of the results of this method. It suggests that the simultaneous consideration of different performance measures and the investor’s attitude towards the importance of these measures are notably important in the portfolio efficiency estimation process.

A PROMETHEE based outranking approach for the construction of Fangcang shelter hospital using spherical fuzzy sets

This study mainly aims to develop two effective and practical multi-criteria group decision-making approaches by taking advantage of the ground-breaking theory of PROMETHEE family of outranking methods. The presented variants of Preference Ranking Organization Method for Enrichment Evaluation (PROMETHEE) method are acknowledged to address the complex decision-making problems carrying the ambiguous information, expressible in terms of yes, no, abstinence and refusal, owing to the preeminent condition and wider structure of spherical fuzzy sets. Both of the proposed approaches seek help from the Shannon’s entropy formula to evaluate the object weights of the decision criteria. The proposed techniques operate by taking into account the deviation between each pair of potential alternatives in accordance to different types of preference functions to determine the preference indices. The proposed technique of spherical fuzzy PROMETHEE I method carefully compares the positive and negative outranking flows of the alternative to get partial rankings. In contrast, the spherical fuzzy PROMETHEE II method has the edge to eliminate the incomparable pair by employing the net outranking flow to derive the final ranking. The application of proposed approaches is explained via a case study in the field of medical concerning the selection of appropriate site to establish Fangcang shelter hospital in Wuhan to treat COVID-19 patients. The convincing comparisons of the proposed methodologies with q-rung orthopair fuzzy PROMETHEE and spherical fuzzy TOPSIS methods are also included to verify the aptitude of the proposed methodology.

DECISION SUPPORT SYSTEM FOR SOCIAL ASSISTANCE’S BENEFICIARIES USING AHP – PROMETHEE METHOD IN KELURAHAN KARANGANYAR GUNUNG

Indonesia as a developing country has problems related to poverty. The government tries to overcome the problem of poverty from year to year by launching various aid programs, one of which is the Family Hope Program (PKH). The distribution of PKH social assistance (bansos) can actually help millions of beneficiaries every year, but there are also obstacles related to the lack of precise targeting of beneficiaries, which often occurs because there is no definite standard in the hierarchy of criteria for beneficiaries. Using the Decision Making System (SPK) with the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) - Preference Ranking Organization Method for Enrichment Evaluation (PROMETHEE) method can provide an alternative to prioritizing aid recipients to assist decisions made by officers and related office holders. The AHP method is used to weight the poverty criteria, while the PROMETHEE method is used to rank the priority of social assistance recipients. Using 45 data on prospective PKH social assistance recipients in Karanganyar Gunung Village who were selected based on 14 poverty criteria, the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) resulted in a priority ranking of social assistance recipients. The ranking is based on the netflow value, the higher the value, the higher the priority level. The ranking using this method gives results in the form of residents with the first priority of receiving social assistance with a net flow value of 0.342 owned by Sumirah followed by Meliyani Kusrini with a net flow value of 0.325.

Selection of Suppliers in Industrial Manufacturing: A Fuzzy Rough PROMETHEE Approach

In supply chain management (SCM), the selection of suppliers plays a vital role in an efficient production process. Over the last few years, to form a trade-off between the quantitative and qualitative criteria, the selection of suppliers in SCM is considered very conclusive. The decisions generally demand different criteria to balance between every possible inconsistent parameters involving subjectivity and uncertainty in the process. The evaluation information mostly depends on the experience and knowledge of experts that are unsure and indistinct. This study introduces a novel decision-making method by integrating rough approximations with fuzzy numbers and preference ranking organization method for enrichment evaluation (PROMETHEE) to deal with subjective and objective vagueness in the assessment of decision makers. To minimize the dependency on experts’ judgements, entropy weights are computed from the original data set. The preference index is then computed using entropy weights and deviations among alternatives. The alternatives are ranked using the intersection of both positive flow and negative flow. To show the significance and importance of fuzzy rough PROMETHEE method, a case study of supplier selection in industrial manufacturing is discussed in detail. The developed method is effectively used to rank the supplier alternatives under given criteria. The results are then compared with different rough numbers and fuzzy numbers based on MCDM methods. The fuzzy rough PROMETHEE method can be efficiently used for the selection of the best suppliers to reduce losses and maximize the production process.

Nested information representation of multi-dimensional decision: An improved PROMETHEE method based on NPLTSs

In the increasingly complex environment of today, decision-making problems face general challenges involving the multi-dimensional relationships and the representation of uncertain information regarding performances, requirements, and designs. In this regard, this study combines the Preference Ranking Organization Method for Enrichment Evaluation (PROMETHEE) method with the nested probabilistic linguistic term set (NPLTS) to rank the alternatives considering ease of use, cognitive information, and decreased complexity. We propose transformation functions with four kinds of NPLTSs to measure information scientifically, establish an NPLTSs-based PROMETHEE method, and apply it to a case study concerning the selection of marine fuels. The results show that renewable fuels are the preferred trend for marine transportation fuels, and the impact on the ranking of marine fuels is climate change (39.35%), technical availability (39.15%), cost (34.52%), and safety (18.55%). The proposed method considers cognitive-based multi-dimensional factors and makes full use of assessment information so that it is stable and suitable for complex and uncertain decision-making problems, and decision-makers can adjust the weights according to their preferences to obtain more reliable results. This study provides a novel method to deal with multi-dimensional decisions at both the theoretical and practical levels.

Uncertainty of Preferences in the Assessment of Supply Chain Management Systems Using the PROMETHEE Method

The use of Supply Chain Management (SCM) systems allows for the improvement of an organization’s operations. Companies use many Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems that also include SCM functionalities. As a result, the selection of the right system to be used in the enterprise is a complex problem. The use of multi-criteria decision aid (MCDA) methods provides the possibility of system ordering in a ranking, based on an asymmetric preference relation, symmetric indifference and incomparability relations. The aim of the article is to evaluate ERP systems in terms of their support for SCM. The scientific contribution of the article is the study of the impact of various degrees of uncertainty of the decision-maker’s preferences on the evaluation results and the analysis of the impact of various approaches to the preferences of alternatives on the final ranking. An approach based on MCDA Preference Ranking Organization Method for Enrichment Evaluation (PROMETHEE) was used for the study. The decision model uses 12 criteria, three different preference functions and two variants of the PROMETHEE method (I and II). In this way, a total of six rankings were built, and each of them includes seven systems, supporting the management of the supply chain. As a result of the study, it was found that the highest functionality in logistics is characterized by the Oracle E-Business Suite system, which is more functional than SAP ERP and JD Edwards EnterpriseOne. The remaining analysed systems offer much less functionality. The applied approach, which was possible with the use of various preference functions, allowed three different levels of uncertainty in the preferences of decision-makers to be taken into account in the study. Moreover, the application of two different variants of the PROMETHEE method made it possible for the obtained solution to take into account the uncertainty of positions taken by individual ERP systems in the final rankings.

Electric bus charging station site selection based on the combined DEMATEL and PROMETHEE-PT framework

Electric buses (EBs) are one of the most promising transportation modes to reduce air pollution and greenhouse gas emissions. With the promotion of EBs, the selection of EBs charging station (EBCS) site plays a key role in bus electrification. In order to deal with the information uncertainty and the complicated logical relationship between evaluation criteria, this paper establishes a combined framework of fuzzy decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL), preference ranking organization method for enrichment evaluations (PROMETHEE) and prospect theory (PT) to evaluate EBCS sites. Firstly, the evaluation criteria system consisting of transportation, economy, technology, and environment for the EBCS site selection problem is established. Secondly, the fuzzy DEMATEL method is adopted to calculate the weights of EBCS evaluation criteria and analyze their causal relationships. Thirdly, the fuzzy PROMETHEE method with PT is combined to obtain the ranking of the alternative EBCS sites. Finally, based on the case study in Nanjing city, the proposed combined framework proves to be effectiveness and scalability. The numerical results show that the long-term influencing criteria (e.g., coordination with power grid planning, total investment cost), the net cause criteria and the criteria with strong mutual influence have great impact on EBCS site selection.

Multi-objective feature selection based on quasi-oppositional based Jaya algorithm for microarray data

Feature selection is the highly sought-after pre-processing technique for microarray data classification. Microarray data is a phenomenally imbalanced, high-dimensional dataset which requires a specifically designed feature selection technique. A hybrid feature selection (FS) technique is designed in this work for microarray datasets. The proposed FS technique has two phases. In the first phase, aggregate ranking of five well-known filter methods is obtained using the PROMETHEE (Preference Ranking Organization METHod for Enrichment Evaluations) method and is used to remove the unwanted features. The features selected in the first phase are then passed on to the second phase for further refinement. In the second phase, the quasi-oppositional-based multi-objective Jaya algorithm is designed for wrapper-based feature selection. Moreover, a novel quasi-opposite number generation technique for binary numbers is proposed. Ten benchmark microarray datasets are used to evaluate the performance of the proposed technique. Seven other state-of-the-art feature selection techniques are used for comparison and the proposed technique is found to outperform other techniques in terms of classification error rate and the selected number of features. In addition, the proposed FS technique is found to be ten times faster than other FS techniques.

A novel multicriteria decision‐making approach with unknown weight information under q‐ rung orthopair fuzzy environment

The Preference Ranking Organization Method for Enrichment Evaluation (PROMETHEE) method has been developed as one of the effective techniques to accomplish the best alternative selection of multicriteria decision-making (MCDM) problems. However, the existing PROMETHEE methods fail to adjust the representation range of uncertain information. Moreover, the weight determination and information aggregation in the PROMETHEE model still suffer from an excessive dependence of decision makers' (DMs') subjective judgments and the lack of considering the interrelationship among criteria. To solve the aforementioned drawbacks and provide DMs with a reliable and robust method of MCDM, a novel PROMETHEE method based on the q-rung orthopair fuzzy sets, that is, q-ROF-PROMETHEE model, is presented herein. First, the PROMETHEE-II method is extended to q-rung orthopair fuzzy (q-ROF) environment, which not only handles the uncertainty of human cognition but also provides DMs with a broader space to represent their decisions information. Second, a new optimization model is constructed based on the proposed cross entropy and q-ROF entropy, which is capable of leveraging the preference of DMs to obtain the optimal objective weights among criteria. In addition, the q-ROF weighted Hamy mean operator is embedded in the preference information aggregation of the PROMETHEE method so as to deal with the interrelationship among criteria. Finally, q-ROF-PROMETHEE is applied to a hospital performance evaluation case to demonstrate the proposed method's superiority, validity, and feasibility.

Review of PROMETHEE method in transportation

Abstract In recent decades, decision support system has been constantly growing in the field of transportation planning. PROMETHEE (Preference Ranking Organization METHod for Enrichment Evaluation) method is an efficient decision-making support deployed in case of a finite number of criteria. It provides a partial ranking through PROMETHEE I and a complete ranking with PROMETHEE II. This outranking methodology is characterized by the elimination of scale effects between criteria and managing incomparability with the comprehensive ranking. However, PROMETHEE does not provide guidance to assign weights to criteria and assumes that decision makers are able to allocate weights. This review presents an overview of PROMETHEE models applied in transportation and points out the found gaps in literature.

The issue in Indonesian palm oil stock decision making: Sustainable and risk criteria

The palm oil industry has a strategic role in economic development in Indonesia, especially in alleviating poverty and creating other businesses that can support the industry. Operational activities in the palm oil industry are closely related to environmental issues (deforestation, land-use change, and air pollution) and social conflict. The certification program is an effort for the palm oil industry to implement sustainable development. The certified palm oil industry will increase industrial profitability in the long run to increase investor interest in the future. The decision to choose palm oil industry stocks that carry out sustainable practices and generate maximum returns is an exciting issue, but how investors can choose the right stocks and the minimum risk level. This study aims to apply the decision-making model to choose the optimal stock in the palm oil industry, which involves sustainable certification and risk criteria. The method used in this study was the Preference Ranking Organization Method for Enrichment Evaluation (PROMETHEE) based on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) data. Determinants of stock selection decisions from previous research are considered criteria for decision making. Through the PROMETHEE method, a list of the rankings of the oil palm industry shares can be generated. The sustainable certification and risk criteria can be used as a reference for relevant stakeholders such as investors. Further studies need to be developed by adding non-financial criteria in the firm and developing the criteria to differentiate each other.

Scenario-Based Multi-criteria decision analysis for rapid transit systems implementation in an urban context

The disorderly growth in large urban centers has led to several problems such as pollution, traffic and precarious infrastructure. Adequate public policies to support urban mobility are key to promote sustainable development in cities. Developing adequate solutions for public urban transportation has a strong impact on quality of life, public security and health. In this setting, rapid transit systems emerge as a very effective option. Among the various solutions in this transportation category, three alternatives are the most currently implemented in the world, namely Metro, Light Rail Transit (LRT), and Bus Rapid Transit (BRT). With recent developments in battery technology, electric buses have become attractive solutions to be applied in mass transportation. In this way, a BRT solution powered by electric vehicles emerges as a promising alternative to enhance the quality of urban mobility and sustainability of large cities. This paper presents a study based on multi-criteria decision analysis using the PROMETHEE (PReference ranking Organization METHod for Enrichment Evaluation) method to compare this solution with the more traditional rapid transit options. The analysis has been made for four scenarios (baseline, environmental, economic, and economic-environmental), to account for different perspectives. The results indicate that: a) Metro appears as the best solution in a baseline scenario, b) Bus-based transit systems are the best solution in face of economic aspects; c) the electric-based transportation systems considered in this study perform almost the same in an environment based scenario, and d) Metro and e-BRT are the best solutions for an economic-environmental scenario. These findings suggest that bus-based electrical systems are a viable alternative in urban areas in the foreseeable future, in contrast to other rapid transit systems. The framework developed in this work can be instrumental in assisting planning decisions and prioritizing actions to improve public collective mobility in urban areas. • Analysis for Rapid Transit Systems Implementation in an Urban Context. • Scenario-Based Multi-criteria Decision Analysis. • BRT solution powered by electric vehicles. • Multi-criteria decision analysis using the PROMETHEE method. • Four scenarios: baseline, environmental, economic, and economic-environmental under analysis.
