Using Fuzzy MCDM Model to Select Middle Managers for Global Shipping Carrier-based Logistics Service Providers

摘要

The main purpose of this paper is to develop a fuzzy multiple criteria decision-making (MCDM) model to select middle managers for the global shipping carrier-based logistics service providers (GSLPs). At first, some concepts and methods used to develop a fuzzy MCDM model are introduced. Secondly, to effectively select middle managers for GSLPs, five steps of fuzzy MCDM algorithms are proposed. Finally, a step-by-step numerical example is illustrated by using the proposed fuzzy MCDM approach. The illustrated example shows the proposed approach can successfully accomplish our goal of this study.
