Selection of Flour Suppliers as the Main Ingredient of Onion Crackers Using the Interpretive Structural Modeling Method and Simple Multi-Attribute Rating Technique

Raw materials are very important because raw materials are something that will determine whether the products produced are good and by the wishes of consumers or not, so it is necessary to pay attention to the provider of raw materials, namely the supplier of raw materials. The purpose of this research is to be able to find out the best suppliers by relying on the criteria that are the key criteria. In this study, the Interpretive Structural Modeling (ISM) and Simple Multi-Attribute Rating Technique (SMART) methods were used. The ISM method is useful for sorting out the criteria used so that it is obtained only in the form of key criteria while the SMART method is useful for determining the best supplier based on the existing key criteria. The results of this study are obtained from 9 key criteria out of 12 criteria used, namely quality criteria, delivery of goods, price of goods, communication system, control in operation, service improvement, attitude, packaging ability, and geographical location. The supplier that has the highest criteria based on the key criteria used is Sinar Terang supplier with a score of 0.5895 followed by Cece (0.555), Av (0.555), Aroma (0.5305), Harapan (0.5155), and finally Laris (0.4005).

Decision support system for urban river water quality as a source of clean water using the SMART method

Abstract Rivers play an essential role as vital water sources with roles spanning sanitation, hygiene, drinking, and agriculture, particularly in rural areas. However, Kabupaten Sleman’s river water quality, including its Kabupaten Sleman region in Yogyakarta, has severely degraded due to pollution from solid and liquid sources. Chemical contaminants have rendered the water unsafe, posing health risks. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the water quality in the rivers of Bedog and Sembung located in Kabupaten Sleman. This evaluation utilizes Water Quality Criteria from the Republic of Indonesia Government Regulations Number 82 of 2001, alongside assigned weights. The research employs a diverse range of methodologies, including in-depth literature analysis, meticulous field observation, interviews, and comprehensive water quality assessment. A Decision Support System is adeptly employed as a strategic tool to grapple with the intricate facets inherent in the issue, thereby formulating pragmatic resolutions that facilitate judicious decision-making across diverse contexts. In addressing the dimension of water quality for communities along the Bedog and Sembung rivers, the study seamlessly integrates the SMART (Simple Multi-Attribute Rating Technique) approach. SMART’s agility in steering multi-attribute decisions expedites the decision-making process. SMART’s computational outcomes yield values of 0.304 and 0.395 for the Bedog and Sembung Rivers, respectively, both falling within the 0 to 0.49 range. This collective conclusion indicates that neither river meets the criteria for clean water quality, making it unsuitable for activities like sanitation, hygiene, drinking, and agriculture. The study underscores the urgency of rectifying river water quality, particularly in urban settings, to ensure safe and sustainable water sources for communities. The seamless integration of SMART as a decision-making tool amplifies the potential for effective interventions in navigating water quality management complexities.

Extension of simple multi-attribute rating technique in uncertainty environment for 5G industry evaluation: Egyptian new administrative capital as a case study

As is well-known, multicriteria decision-making (MCDM) approaches can aid decision-makers in identifying the optimal alternative based on predetermined criteria. However, it is a big challenge to apply this approach in complex applications such as 5th generation (5G) industry assessment because criteria are challenging and trade-offs between them are hard. Also, assessment of the 5G industry involve strong uncertainty. So, this study is the first to evaluate the 5G industry using a new neutrosophic simple multi-attribute rating technique (N-SMART). Since neutrosophic set considers truth-degree, indeterminacy-degree, and falsity-degree, it is a more accurate instrument for evaluating uncertainty. The 5G assessment issue exemplifies the validity and great performance of our proposed method as: (1) its ability to deal with uncertainty phenomena; (2) its simplicity; and (3) its enhanced capacity to discern alternatives. Also, by considering the 5G service provided in the Egyptian New Administrative capital as a case study, the results showed that Ericsson 5G is the best choice and Nokia 5G is the worst choice.

Multi-criteria decision analysis framework for engaging stakeholders in river pollution risk management

Water pollution presents a substantial environmental challenge with extensive implications for water resources, ecosystem sustainability, and human health. Using a South African catchment, this study aimed to provide watershed managers with a framework for selecting best management practices (BMPs) to reduce pollution and the related risk to river users, while also including the perspectives of key catchment stakeholders. The framework encompassed the identification of and consultation with key stakeholders within the catchment. A Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) methodology using the Simple Multi-Attribute Rating Technique for Enhanced Stakeholder Take-up (SMARTEST) was used to identify and prioritise suitable BMPs in a case study. Decision alternatives and assessment criteria as well as their weights were derived based on stakeholder responses to a two-stage survey. Stakeholders included those utilising the river for domestic and recreational purposes, municipal representatives, scientists, NGOs, and engineers. The assessment of decision alternatives considered environmental, economic, and social criteria. The aggregated scores for decision alternatives highlighted the significance of involving stakeholders throughout the decision process. This study recommends the pairing of structural and non-structural BMPs. The findings provide valuable insights for catchment managers, policymakers, and environmental stakeholders seeking inclusive and effective pollution mitigation strategies in a catchment.
