Conference Object Citation - Scopus: 2Mba Students' Preference On: Online, Formal and Hybrid Mba Programs(Elsevier Science Bv, 2011) Rouyendegh, Babak Daneshvar; Erkan, Turan ErmanIn recent years, there has been a rapid rise in student enrolments in both online and formal MBA programs. This study is based on the results of a case study in which over 30 students enrolled in a top-ranked online and formal MBA program. Thus, the Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (FAHP) has been used for choosing the program. Due to the inability of AHP to deal with the impression and subjectiveness in the pair-wise comparison process, the FAHP has been used. The result of the research is interesting since neither an online nor a formal education program is preferred; a hybrid one has been developed.

The approach that exploits the visual properties of price graphs which make use of density regions along with high and low values describing the shape; hence, the authors propose the name 'Finance Vision.' The data used in the predictive model consists of 1-hour past price values of 4 different currency pairs, between 2003 and 2016. Prediction performances of state-of-the-art methods; Extreme Gradient Boosting, Artificial Neural Network and Support Vector Machines are compared over the same data with the same sets of features. Results show that density based visual features contribute considerably to prediction performance.Article Citation - WoS: 44Citation - Scopus: 70Selection of Academic Staff Using the Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (fahp): a Pilot Study(Univ Osijek, Tech Fac, 2012) Rouyendegh, Babak Daneshvar; Erkan, Turan Erman; Industrial Engineering; Computer EngineeringEvaluating candidates' suitability for a selection of academic staff is an important tool for Human Resources Management (HRM) to select the most suitable candidates for required posts. There are various methods regarding the selection of staff in the field. As there are increasing improvements in the field of education, universities around the world demand high quality and professional academic staffs. The present paper examines a fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (FAHP) for selecting the most suitable academic staff, where five candidates under ten different sub-criteria are evaluated and prioritised. The FAHP method adopted here uses Triangular Fuzzy Numbers (TFN). The inability of AHP to deal with the impression and subjectiveness in the pair-wise comparison process has been improved in the FAHP. Instead of a crisp value, the FAHP generates a range of values to incorporate the decision-makers uncertainty. Also, a real case study is presented.Article Citation - WoS: 22Citation - Scopus: 30Selecting the Best Warehouse Data Collecting System by Using Ahp and Fahp Methods(Univ Osijek, Tech Fac, 2014) Erkan, Turan Erman; Can, Gulin Feryal; Industrial EngineeringRecently companies have begun to use their storage effectively to attain leadership in the market environment, utilizing Barcode and RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) systems for warehouse management. In this study AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) and FAHP (Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process) are used to choose between Barcode and RFID systems for the company warehouse data collection system. This decision is affected by four criteria which are: cost, functionality, sustainability and performance. The barcode system was preferred by 68 % and RFID was preferred by 32 % according to AHP. For FAHP, barcode system was preferred by 72 % and RFID was preferred by 28 %. Consequently AHP values are consistent with FAHP values. Finally barcode system is selected for the company's warehouse data collection system and FAHP is found to be relatively more sufficient in terms of description of this decision-making process because of its fuzziness and vagueness compared to AHP method.Article Citation - WoS: 13Citation - Scopus: 16Sector Selection for Erp Implementation To Achieve Most Impact on Supply Chain Performance by Using Ahp-Topsis Hybrid Method(Univ Osijek, Tech Fac, 2014) Rouyendegh, Babak Daneshvar; Bac, Ugur; Erkan, Turan Erman; Industrial Engineering; Computer EngineeringRecently, studies about the Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) have been increased and this research area has attracted more attention. Especially, in the global competition environment, enterprises have to focus on their Information Systems ( IS) performance to have a competitive advantage; implementing an ERP system and improving the effectiveness of the system is the only way. However every sector reacts to ERP implementation differently. Purpose of this study is to rank the sectors according to their performance increments after successful ERP implementations by using AHP-TOPSIS hybrid method. As a result, general structure of Turkish companies will be pictured and the sectors which have the most chance to improve their performance by utilizing an ERP system will be defined. These findings will help the companies to plan the implementation process more precisely and help the managers of these companies to define their expectations more clearly. A numerical example is given to clarify the main developed result in this paper.Article Solving a Mixed Purchasing Process Problem in Retail Market: a Pilot Study in Turkey(Univ Osijek, Tech Fac, 2014) Erkan, Turan Erman; Rouyendegh, Babak Daneshvar; Salar, Menekse; Industrial Engineering; Computer EngineeringThe details of mixed purchasing processes which consist of some of sales and marketing processes in a retail market are discussed in this pilot study.

To do so in a professional and logical manner is crucial for the social, economic, and logistic settings intended for any region. The present research takes place in Libya, where airports are just as vital for the economy in terms of tourism and investment by allowing for improved transportation throughout the developing market and supplier locations as well as trading between the industrial and financial sectors. For this reason, using the geographic information system (GIS) to determine the appropriate airport site, twenty-three criteria were considered. In addition, two different methods-analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and rank order centroid (ROC)-were utilized to derive the related weights. The comparison of the output maps from these two distinctive approaches shows that both approaches provide identical results. Finally, a sensitivity analysis was carried out to evaluate the reliability of the method used and select the best site among the proposed ones based on the result of the highest suitability index for each candidate site. This research provides a siting approach and substantial support for decision-makers in the issue of airport locations selection in Libya and other developing countries.Article Citation - WoS: 67Citation - Scopus: 91An Application of the Fuzzy Electre Method for Academic Staff Selection(Wiley, 2013) Rouyendegh, Babak Daneshvar; Erkan, Turan ErmanThere are various methods regarding staff selection in different fields.
