A large group linguistic Z-DEMATEL approach for identifying key performance indicators in hospital performance management

In hospital management, performance measurement is of vital importance for improving healthcare service quality. The performance of a healthcare organization is often influenced by numerous indicators, and it is unrealistic to manage them all due to the restriction of resources. In addition, the performance measurement for improvement relates to the benefits of many departments, and it is necessary for large number of experts with different backgrounds to participate in the evaluation process of healthcare indicators. In response, this study develops a large group evaluation approach using linguistic Z-numbers and decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL) to determine key performance indicators (KPIs) for hospital management. For this approach, the complex and uncertain interrelation evaluations among indicators are given by experts using linguistic Z-numbers. An extended DEMATEL method is proposed to determine KPIs based on the cause and effect relationships of performance indicators. Finally, a case study in a rehabilitation hospital is presented to illustrate the effectiveness and usefulness of the proposed large group linguistic Z-DEMATEL approach. The results indicate that incidents/errors, accidents/adverse events, nosocomial infection, nursing technology pass rate, and length of stay are KPIs for the given application.     

Consolidating SWOT analysis with nonhomogeneous uncertain preference information

SWOT analysis is an important support tool for decision-making, and is commonly used to systematically analyze organizations’ internal and external environments. However, one of its deficiencies is in the measurement and evaluation of prioritization of the factors and strategies. This paper is aimed to present a novel quantified SWOT analytical method based multiple criteria group decision-making (MCGDM) concept, in which the priorities of SWOT factors and groups are derived by multiple decision makers (DMs) with nonhomogeneous uncertain preference information (NUPI), such as interval multiplicative preference relations, interval fuzzy preference relations, and uncertain linguistic preference relations. In this method, the SWOT analysis provides a basic frame within which to perform analyses of decision situations, in turn, MCGDM methods assist in carrying out SWOT more analytically and in elaborating the results of the analyses so that SWOT factors and groups can be prioritized with respect to the entire SWOT. The uniform and aggregation of the NUPI and the derivation of priorities for SWOT groups and factors are investigated in detail. Finally, an example is to validate the procedure of the proposed method.

Moreover, an approach to multiattribute group decision-making under interval-valued intuitionistic uncertain linguistic environment is developed. Finally, an illustrative example is selected to verify the practicality and feasibility of the proposed procedure.

First, the score function, accuracy function, and comparative method of the intuitionistic uncertain linguistic numbers are introduced. Then, an intuitionistic uncertain linguistic Bonferroni OWA (IULBOWA) operator and an intuitionistic uncertain linguistic weighted Bonferroni OWA (IULWBOWA) operator are developed. Furthermore, some properties of the IULBOWA and IULWBOWA operators, such as commutativity, idempotency, monotonicity, and boundedness, are discussed. At the same time, some special cases of these operators are analyzed. Based on the IULWBOWA operator, the multiple attribute decision-making method with intuitionistic uncertain linguistic information is proposed. Finally, an illustrative example is given to illustrate the decision-making steps and to demonstrate its practicality and effectiveness.

Distributed fuzzy discrete event system for robotic sensory information processing

Abstract: This paper presents a novel intelligent sensory information processing technique using a fuzzy discrete event system (FDES) for robotic control. The proposed method combines the predictive control approach of a discrete event system with the approximate reasoning aspect of fuzzy logic. It develops a supervisory control strategy for behavior-based robotic control using distributed FDES. The application of distributed FDES eliminates the formation of complex fuzzy predicates and a large fuzzy rule-base. The FDES-based approach also provides means for analyzing behavior-based decision-making using the observability and controllability of an FDES. The observability of an FDES describes uncertainties in sensory data, and the controllability of an FDES exploits uncertain state transitions in a dynamic environment. Comprehensive experiments on behavior-based mobile robot navigation are presented to authenticate the performance of the proposed methodology.

A group decision making framework based on fuzzy VIKOR approach for machine tool selection with linguistic information

Computer numerical control (CNC) machines are used for repetitive, difficult and unsafe manufacturing tasks that require a high degree of accuracy. However, when selecting an appropriate CNC machine, multiple criteria need to be considered by multiple decision makers. In this study, a multi-criteria group decision making (MCGDM) technique based on the fuzzy VIKOR method is developed to solve a CNC machine tool selection problem. Linguistic variables represented by triangular fuzzy numbers are used to reflect decision maker preferences for the criteria importance weights and the performance ratings. After the individual preferences are aggregated or after the separation values are computed, they are then defuzzified. In this paper, two algorithms based on a fuzzy linguistic approach are developed. Based on these two algorithms and the VIKOR method, a general MCGDM framework is proposed. A CNC machine tool selection example illustrates the application of the proposed approach. A comparative study of the two algorithms using the above case study information highlighted the need to combine the ranking results, as both algorithms have distinct characteristics.
