        In this paper we propose a new method for ranking Z- numbers and generalizations. This method is based on the internal structure of the artificial neural network, which suggests that the structure of this network consists of inputs weights and the transfer function linear, nonlinear and sometimes linear and nonlinear. It is shown that the proposed method while possessing the ranking properties for Z -numbers whose components of the limiting part are equal and their confidence interval having the same center of gravity has a more logical ranking than those using the center of gravity. While some of the available methods for Z numbers whose boundaries are equal but not equal to their reliability but have the same focal gravity they rank equally which can not be logical in all cases. Therefore, the proposed method overcomes this problem. In some examples the correctness of the subject is shown. the results are compared with some existing methods. Manuscript profile

        Evaluation of decision-making units is very importantin economic and management systems. Data envelopment analysis is one of the scientific and practical techniques for evaluating decision making units. In the conventional models of data envelopment analysis, the units are divided into efficient and inefficient categories, where the efficiency of each efficient unit is one and there is no distinction between efficient units.This study intends to propose a new way of ranking efficient units based on the concepts of cooperative game. The proposed method is that efficient units are considered as players of a cooperative game. A subset of these players is defined as the coalitionS.Then the sum of the efficiency of the inefficient units according to the production possibility set that is created by the inefficient units and the members of the coalitionS is defined as the characteristic function of S, which is used to determine the marginal effect of the efficient units in the various coalitions. Finally, the Shapley value is used to determine the cooperative game solution and rank the efficient units.In the same way that it is able to rank non-extreme units, inefficient units are also effective in ranking, alsois feasiblein any circumstances of return to scale.

        3 - Ranking Supply Chain Disruptions Using Mix Method, Fuzzy Dematel & Meta Heuristic Algorithms

        Among the types of supply chain risks disruptions are risks that resulting from natural disasters, sanctions, transportation problems and equipment failure. These risks can seriously disrupt the flow of materials, information and cash flow. This study proposes a hybrid model for managing, evaluating and rating disorders. In this research, by presenting a mathematical model with disruption parameter, supply chain disruption risk assessment is investigated. Initially, the relationships between the disturbances are formulated by fuzzy DEMATEL technique, and the DEMATEL output as a weighted parameter, and then the model is solved using meta-heuristic algorithms, genetic and local search methods. Finally, the disruptions are evaluated and ranked based on the costs incurred in the chain, and then the number of appropriate suppliers for each disruption is determined. Manuscript profile

        Due to the fact that the rating of mutual funds creates an unbearable impact on the public interest in order to request the issuance or revocation of investment units, the proper assessment of the relevant ratings is very important. One of the factors that should be considered in ranking is attention to different risk assessment criteria. In this study, we used information from 112 investment funds in the period from April 2012 to March 2013 based on ten criteria including Sharp criterion criteria, Trainer criteria, Jensen alpha standard, M2 benchmark, AR criterion, Moderator trainer standard, Jsen Alfa standard adjustment The Omega benchmark, the Sortino benchmark and the UPR, the investment fund rankings have been made. Over the period, the Iranian capital market has experienced a sharp increase in both growth and decline and, as a result, The basis for the desired and undesirable risk criteria is the ability of a fund to flourish It also showed up during the recession. Attention to the favorable and undesirable risk over this period greatly increases the ability to rely on the results of the research and can add to the research's sustainability. Manuscript profile

        This research aims to investigate the factors affecting creativity and innovation among their employees, and after identifying these factors, their ranking is done using self-made questionnaire . The sample population used in this survey was all employees of Kian Tire Company. Based on the conceptual model of the research, in the first step, according to the Delphi method, the items were identified from the viewpoint of the elite for creativity and innovation. Questionnaires to identify the model indices were provided to the statistical population of the study. The obtained data were evaluated using Delphi test. According to the results, these factors were identified, which in general can be classified into two general categories of internal and external factors. The ranking of these factors both internal and external, was done using the TOPSIS technique and Analytical Hierarchy process. Finally , suggestions were made to institutionalize creativity and innovation in the organization. Manuscript profile

        The United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals encourage countries to solve many social problems. One of these problems is homelessness. We consider those goals which are most pertinent to homelessness according to [13]. We rank countries with respect to the achievement of these goals. We use fuzzy similarity measures to determine the degree of similarity between these rankings. We use three methods to rank the counties, namely, the Analytic Hierarchy Process, the Guiasu method, and the Yen method. Overall scores of categories in some basic research papers pertaining to Sustainable Development Goals were obtained by using multiplication of the scores of the category’s targets. Multiplication was used to agree with the philosophy that in order for a high score to be obtained, all targets must have a high score. To support this philosophy in the decision process, we use the t-norms bounded difference, algebraic product, and standard intersection as experts. We also suggest a way the techniques used here can be extended to nonstandard analysis Manuscript profile

        Abstract Realization of national development and resistance economy requires an understanding of the existing economic possibilities and capabilities of country’s different regions. The issue is that has less attention to that subject in national development planning. In most cases, the national macro indicators are considered for regional policy makings. This paper’s main purpose is the classification of the provinces based on regional economic development indicators. First, statistical data of 72 indicators have been extracted from recent censuses, national and regional accounts and official statistics from the Statistical Center of Iran statistics books. Then, using the TOPSIS method and coefficient of variation or C.V. Index, distribution of indicators were analyzed and provinces are ranked. The results show that Tehran Province with a final score of 0/67 ranked as first, and Chaharmahalo Bakhtiaari province with a final score of 0/18 ranked in last at province ranking, so there is a significant difference in the mean ranking (is equal to 0.5), between different provinces of the country. As a result, in the current situation, based on macroeconomic indexes of regional development there are quite different between regions in means of economic indicators and is required for proper economic policy making and spatial planning in accordance with the national and regional economic capabilities in the country. Finally, the recommendations based on the findings of the study such as implementation of spatial planning have been presented. Key words: national and regional accounts, economy, regional development, rankings, provinces, Iran. Manuscript profile
