    On Profust Reliability of Coherent Systems: Signature-Based Expressions
    (Sage Publications Ltd, 2013) Eryilmaz, Serkan; Rouyendegh, Babak Daneshvar
    In this article we study profust reliability of non-repairable coherent systems through the concept of system signature. We obtain explicit expressions for the profust reliability and mean time to fuzzy failure of coherent systems. We compute and present mean time to failure and mean time to fuzzy failure of all coherent systems with three and four components. Finally, we illustrate the results for a well known class of coherent systems called m-consecutive-k-out-of-n:F.

    Evaluating Projects Based on Intuitionistic Fuzzy Group Decision Making
    (Hindawi Ltd, 2012) Rouyendegh, Babak Daneshvar
    There are various methods regarding project selection in different fields. This paper deals with an actual application of construction project selection, using two aggregation operators. First, the opinion of experts is used in a model of group decision making called intuitionistic fuzzy TOPSIS (IFT). Secondly, project evaluation is formulated by dynamic intuitionistic fuzzy weighted averaging (DIFWA). Intuitionistic fuzzy weighted averaging (IFWA) operator is utilized to aggregate individual opinions of decision makers (DMs) for rating the importance of criteria and alternatives. A numerical example for project selection is given to clarify the main developed result in this paper.

    The Dea and Intuitionistic Fuzzy Topsis Approach To Departments' Performances: a Pilot Study
    (Hindawi Publishing Corporation, 2011) Rouyendegh, Babak Daneshvar
    This paper processes a unification of Fuzzy TOPSIS and Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) to select the units with most efficiency. This research is a two-stage model designed to fully rank the organizational alternatives, where each alternative has multiple inputs and outputs. First, the alternative evaluation problem is formulated by Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and separately formulates each pair of units. In the second stage, we use the opinion of experts to be applied into a model of group Decision-Making (DM) called the Intuitionistic Fuzzy TOPSIS (IFT) method. The results of both methods are then multiplied to obtain the results. DEA and Intuitionistic Fuzzy TOPSIS ranking do not replace the DEA classification model; rather, it furthers the analysis by providing full ranking in the DEA context for all units by aggregate individual opinions of decision makers for rating the importance of criteria and alternatives.

    The Dea - Fuzzy Anp Department Ranking Model Applied in Iran Amirkabir University
    (Budapest Tech, 2010) Rouyendegh, Babak Daneshvar; Erol, Serpil
    Proposed in this study is a hybrid model for supporting the department selection process within Iran Amirkabir University. This research is a two-stage model designed to fully rank the organizational departments where each department has multiple inputs and outputs. First, the department evaluation problem is formulated by Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) and separately formulates each pair of units. In the second stage, the pair-wise evaluation matrix generated in the first stage is utilized to fully rank-scale the units via the Fuzzy Analytical Network Process (FANP). The FANP method adopted here uses triangular fuzzy numbers. ANP equipped with fuzzy logic helps in overcoming the impreciseness in the preferences. DEA-FANP ranking does not replace the DEA classification model; rather, it furthers the analysis by providing full ranking in the DEA context for all departments, efficient and inefficient.
