First, the importance score of indices were determined through Study and interview with experts then according to defensive researches in the country and related centers which are considered as references indices were chosen. Next we determined to which centers, it is better, to assign the most budyet and facilities according to “TOPSIS” method and related and tables (they are described in the text) also we suggested the best choice. Through this process qualitative and quantitative indices can be used and consequently fuzzy method is sued to conver comprehensive and qualitative indices in to measurable quantitative and indices. This method of decision along with multiple qualitative indices can be used to determine the priority for allocating Rial and foreign currencies budjet to government research centers under the supervision of the ministry culture and advance education.

Traditional performance evaluation methods are mostly one-level, so they usually fail to provide sufficient feedback to identify inefficient units. Data envelopment analysis is a mathematical programming technique that compares the relative efficiency of several decision-making units based on observed inputs and outputs expressed by a variety of different scales. In practice, since many decision-making units are subdivided into smaller parts, with standard data envelopment analysis models that consider the organization as a whole, logical results are not obtained. Therefore, it would be better to use developed models like the two-stage DEA model to more accurately evaluate under investigation units in these conditions. Moreover, in cases that there are a large number of inputs and outputs, traditional DEA is not very efficient and it may consider a large number of units as efficient one. To deal with the problem, this study uses PROMETHEE method to rank criteria. After that, the efficiency evaluation problem is continued with most important inputs and outputs. Since the available information is usually incomplete and inaccurate, the problem is solved in the gray environment. The findings indicate a significant decrease in the number of identified efficient units which shows the improvement in discrimination power of DEA method. Additionally, the use of uncertain environment has led to more accurate estimates than previous definite models. Manuscript profile -

Marketing mix or 4p (product price, place, promotion) is a powerful tool that helps to advance marketing goals. The purpose of promotion is the activities by which the company gives costumer good information about its products and encourages him/her to purchase. So, by prioritization of the components of promotion mix (Advertisement, Sale promotion, Public relations, Personal selling, Direct marketing) compatible with any business, increase in the sale can be achieved. The purpose of this study is to help managers in plastic industry companies in order to identify and prioritize mix promotional tools to improve their sale. For this purpose, 22 effective promotional tools in the plastic industry were identified with the help of library research and experts ideas. 105 head managers with at least 5 years of experience were examined. To collect the data, the researchers used a questionnaire with Cronbach Alpha with the range of 65-83 for all the items and the Validity of questionnaire was confirmed by the experts. After identifying appropriate mix promotional tools by experts, they were prioritized by MADM methods (SAW, TOPSIS, ELECTRA, and LINMAP). As the results of mentioned methods were not the same, in order to reach a consensus, the researchers used mix methods called Copeland. The result of prioritizing by Copeland showed that TV advertisement, trade fairs (creating a special imagination in costumer’s mind by showing the product) and present sale of the product, have more priority relative to other tools. Based on the results, managers and marketers in the plastic industry will be able to identify the best mix promotional methods by the use of multi-attribute decision-making methods and so they can enhance their sale.

In this view, the key indicators of the integrated dynamic performance measurement in a competitive environment are considered as a necessary and unavoidable case. In this paper, considering the affective indicators of dynamic Performance to approach BSC in industry, we focus on the problem that how we can provide a mathematical and hierarchical affective model so that it has sufficient answers in the conditions of uncertainty in the fuzzy technics of AHP and TOPSIS; its aim is to recognizing and prioritize the effective indicators related to dynamic performance evaluation on the base of BSC with approach F.MADM in order to prioritize a set of dynamic indicators to increasing competitive power in industry. In order to determine the indicators, hierarchical tree of deceiving compiled during the sessions with the organization's experts. The statistical sample of the research includes experts and directors of the strategic area. Since these indicators used to prioritizing the decision tree indicators are considered as vocal variables, collecting the data is performed by questionnaire in a fuzzy way; so the multiple attribute decision making is fuzzy. The paper is an applied one and in the form of descriptive-measurable researches and it has a field importance; the solving approach of problems is in the type of mathematical modeling and the hierarchy of decision making of some group indicators is fuzzy. The results of analyzing the prioritizing of the factors and their grading by the two technics show that the indicator of expense, delivery time and quality can help to programmers a director of the organization in order to make long-term decisions for competition. There are also positive and strong coordination between the results of the validity of the answers of the two technics for dynamic performance evaluation of six alternatives. The fuzzy logic is used in order to design a way increasing the measurement of the occurrence of each performance indicator and the validity of the evaluation and programming process is performed in the content of EXCEL.

However, with the passing of time, MCDM methods have helped a lot in the rankings. But the choice of which methods is accepted as the best solution is always an ambiguity. Since the comprehensive hybrid algorithm that can identify the top branches not provided, yet. This research is trying to achieve the final ranking of the branches. Thus the optimal solution is to introduce a hybrid algorithm that determines the optimal weights of the MADM methods by a linear model. This approach is especially applicable when we cannot prefer any ranking method to others. Thus, in this paper, the criteria weights are obtained using DEMATEL and ANP methods. Afterward, the bank branches are ranked using TOPSIS, VIKOR, PROMETHEE II, SAW, WPM and DEA methods, each of which is important and significant. Finally, using proposed hybrid algorithm the optimal weights of different methods and the ranks are calculated. Manuscript profile -

Usually, participatory projects of urban management that need high investment and have a great complexity in terms of technology and design are considered as participatory macro projects. So the performance evaluation of this kind of projects according to their regional influence is necessary. This study identifies and ranks the performance evaluation criteria of participatory urban management projects to use these criteria for creating a comprehensive approach for performance evaluation. The performance evaluation criteria are obtained for two major projects of Tehran urban management namely neighborhood house and cultural-sports complex by questionnaire with Cronbach’s Alpha = 0.97% coefficient. Then, these criteria are grouped based on the aspects of the Balanced Scorecard including financial, clients, internal processes and learning and growth. Then, using the fuzzy analysis network process, the network structure was designed to display and measure the weight of relationships between criteria and sub-criteria. Finally, two projects are evaluated and ranked by TOPSIS and VIKOR and SAW methods. In the financial, clients, internal processes aspects, neighborhood house project showed a better performance than cultural-sport complex, but in the growth and learning aspect, the result for two projects was almost identical.

Proper location is very complex process due to its multifaceted nature. Therefore, it is necessary to identify the variables and combine them in the form of a comprehensive application model and formulate an application instruction.In order to achieve the main purpose of the research, first, effective criteria in locating land uses have been formulated, and in particular, administrative sites, which facilitate and make optimal choices. Since in the process of optimal location due to the multiplicity of variables and effective indicators, we need to use multi criteria decision making techniques and models in this study preferred ranking method Promethee is used. The model has been widely used in the past few years due to the capabilities defined in it based on fuzzy mathematical methods and its simplicity, and according to the 6 functions with the ability to define complete preference, relative preference, with topics. Urban planning, and specifically the issue of location, is very relevant. Since the main and sub-variables of the research should be entered into the model in a weighted manner and with specific significance coefficients. Relevant coefficients were determined by selecting the experts and performing pairwise comparisons (part of the AHP model).In the process of conducting research and in order to identify the options with the basic requirements for the location of office sites in Bakhrez city, the technique of combining layers in GIS software has been used. The identified positions included eight positions in the city, which were ranked Promethee multi criteria decision making model, and the optimal positions for the establishment of an office site in the city were introduced.

The Grey Decision-Making method is a proper technique for ranking suppliers in cases where the existing qualitative attribute is in an uncertain environment. Taking Advantages of the grey theory concept, linguistic variables areturned in togrey numbers and then used in MADM techniques. But an important issue in most MADM techniques such asTOPSISmethod is independencerequest of attributes, which if notconsidered, may lead to false results. The proposed approach in this article is Factor Analysis(FA) technique for determination of independent factors and their substitution with attributes in grey TOPSIS method.In the proposed approach,independent factors areobtained by FA technique after determination ofthe weights of attributes and making initial grey decision- making matrix. Weight of any factor is obtained from average of the attributes' weight related to its factor. Alsocomponents of the grey decision- making matrix after FA rank will be obtainedfrom average of attribute components related to any factor in initial decision- making matrix. Finally, the suppliers are being ranked by using grey possibility degree. In this paper, the suggested approach has been used to ranking the five suppliers of SazehGostarSaipa company.
