the contrary, wrong supplier selection can lead the company to financial problem. Therefore, purchasing departments need to emphasize about supplier performance evaluation which not only concern one criterion such as price, but also consider of multi criteria for evaluating suppliers in order to select the right supplier. 1.1 Background of the Study Nowadays, oil and gas industry plays a major role to driving the business in both local and global level. It provides energy and essential chemical
like. The selection (or called decision making) has become a kind of psychology. By the decision making process we will get a final choice. There are a lot different decision-making methods published and widely used, such as weighted-point method, matrix approach, vendor performance matrix approach, vendor profile analysis (VPA), analytic hierarchy process (AHP), and multiple objective programming (MOP) Here followed is a short introduction of two different decision-making methods: the Analytic Hierarchy
DECISION-MAKING In psychology, decision-making is regarded as the cognitive process resulting in the selection of a belief or a course of action among several alternative possibilities. Every decision-making process produces a final choice, which may or may not prompt action. Decision-making is the process of identifying and choosing alternatives based on the values and preferences of the decision-maker. Decision-making can be regarded as a problem-solving activity terminated by a solution deemed

Multi-Criteria decision Making (MCDM) can be divided into two categories: Multi Attribute Decision Making (MADM) and Multi Objective Decision Making (MODM). During the last few years, the MCDM theory has been applied in many disciplines such as operations research and management science. The theory revolves around ranking a finite number of alternatives based on a set of performance attributes. The decision variables can be quantitative or qualitative. MADM models include discrete variables with
hours, basing the discharge process on consultation with the multi-disciplinary team, involving the patient and their family in the discharge process, and determining the responsibility of each member of the healthcare team. The fifth step is assessing each of these possible alternatives. The final step of policy analysis is describing the process of implementing, monitoring, and evaluating the policy. Overall, it was concluded from analysis of the discharge process of Prince Hamzah Hospital that the
Decision making can be described as a process of making a decision or decisions, based on choices made amongst two or more competing course of actions. The ‘Decision making’ also requires making a define choice between two or more alternatives course of actions that are available. In every decision making, there is said to be a positive and negative outcome as future consequence(s). The importance of decision making in individual daily life and in organization level was demonstrated by two scientists
operation has three main steps which are pre-installation, installation and post commisioning. (Small and Yasin, 2003). Pre-installation step recognizes technological requirements, identifies a proper technology for a particular business with spadework analysis, plans the usage of that chosed technology and evaluates how technology suppliers can meet these. In order not to get poor results in technology transfer process, businesses should pay attention to the first pre-installation step. (Udo and Ehie
Cost-effectiveness analysis (CEA) is an evaluation technique in which an assessment of the construction costs of alternative options is carried out with respect to the population served. CEA compares the cost of interventions with their intended impacts. A specific CEA approach is proposed for the majority of Rural Transportation Infrastructures (RTI) where traffic is less than 50 motorized four-wheeled vehicles per day (for a basic access road) (Lebo & Schelling 2001). CEA is calculated as follows
The competency analysis reveals the specification of competencies that need to be demonstrated by the applicant (Woods et al., 2010). Managers are likely to analyse and interpret, organise and execute, enterprise and perform and lead and decide, competencies which are all
Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is ‘the process of decision making by identifying the potentially significant environmental effects and risks of a project’. Environmental impact analysis is one of the stages of an EIA (Sadler and McCabe, 2002). Environmental impact analysis is a process of providing decision makers with an indication of the likely consequences of their action (Wathern, 2013). This stage comprises impact identification and determination of the significance of the impacts. Impact
2.2 Third-party Logistics Third party –logistics refers to that a firm provides multiple logistics services for use by customers. And these services are integrated or bundled together by the provider. (Murphy & Wood, 2011) Based on the customers’ needs and market conditions, third party logistics provider normally provide the integrated operation, warehousing and transportation services that can be customized and scaled. For instance, the different requirements for delivery services and the different
Personal Statement My current enrollment to Florida International University’s (FIU) MS in Environmental Studies program proves my interest in the field of “Natural Resource Science and Management”. Coming from Bangladesh, a country that is highly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change, I observed the importance of holistic natural resources management and its complex social dimension. My involvement with different development organizations including United Nations provided hands-on experiences
Predictive Analysis Predictive analysis can be defined as an exercise of extracting the information from existing data in order to predict something important about future. Different predictive models and analysis are used to predict future which can be applied to different business to analyze something about current data and historical facts in order for getting better understanding about customers, products and partners and to identify possible risks and opportunities. It uses a number of techniques
other options, although be less environmentally and socially acceptable. These authors present to identify which mix or mixes of options are justifiable, some multi-criteria framework needs to be designed with which one can capture, quantify and compare the direct and dependent effects of application of each these or other possible criteria. Other scholars like Arrow et al. (1996) and Tóth et al. (2001) argue that balancing between mitigation and adaptation will be challenging because of some unique
interventions to prevent or decrease the number of falls and fall related injuries (RNAO, 2005). The target population are elderly adults in acute or long-term care. The recommendations are to help practitioners and patients make effective healthcare decisions, support nurses by giving educational recommendations, and to guide organizations in providing an environment receptive to quality nursing care and ongoing evaluation of guideline implementation and outcomes. These guidelines stress and interdisciplinary
Which criteria are most important for use in determining community health improvement priorities and why? There are many important factors to take into account for use in determining which community health concerns should be a priority. Initially, a list of health concerns should be identified with the list narrowed down after the task force has determined what percent of the community population is at risk for the health problem, and what percent of the population has the health problem. Determining
Question 1 - What criteria should Zachary use to evaluate the projects? As per (Gido J, Clements J., 2015) “Project Selection involves evaluating potential projects, and then deciding which of these should move forward to implemented. The benefits and consequences, advantages and disadvantages, plusses and minuses of each project need to be considered and evaluated. They can be quantitative and qualitative, tangible and intangible”. One step in the project selection process include the development
time and effort in coming up with the new multi pack carriers, for the new 6-oz product. The 6-oz product is a very successful product that has helped us increase our sales, and hence we want to ensure that all activities with this product are done with the intention of taking this forward and not risking our position due to any improperly thought out activities. Therefore the main purpose of the research that we are undertaking is to ensure that the new multi packs that we are introducing will be a
Selection of The Criteria Criterion 1: Economic Feasibility Purpose of this criterion is to answer the question, Does the whole benefit and savings of implementation of this alternative outweigh the other costs of implementing it? Alternatives also will be measured for its cost to New Zealand in terms of staff and program resources. An optimum program would require minimized use of these resources. Minimum budget required is being the most desirable outcome under this criterion. Criterion 2:Political
