Medical errors negatively affect patients, healthcare professionals, and healthcare establishments. Therefore, all healthcare service members should be attentive to medical errors. Research has revealed that most medical errors are caused by the system, rather than individuals. In this context, guaranteeing patient safety and preventing medical fau...

Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA) is a useful risk assessment tool used to identify, evaluate, and eliminate potential failure modes in numerous fields to improve security and reliability. Risk evaluation is a crucial step in FMEA and the Risk Priority Number (RPN) is a classical method for risk evaluation. However, the traditional RPN method...

Grouting-efficiency evaluation is a key element in grouting-construction control. However, most existing grouting-efficiency evaluation models do not consider the hesitation and bounded rationality of experts and have difficulty in handling the problem of incomplete decision-making information generated by experts. Furthermore, the diversity of the...

Selecting a suitable construction project is a significant issue for contractors to decrease their costs. In real cases, the imprecise and uncertain information lead to decisions made based on vagueness. Fuzzy sets theory could help decision makers (DMs) to address incomplete information. However, this article develops a new integrated multi-crite...

Cross-dock has been a novel logistic approach to effectively consolidate and distribute multiple products in logistics networks. Location selection of cross-docking centers is a decision problem under different conflicting criteria. The decision has a vital part in the strategic design of distribution networks in logistics management. Conventional ...

In this article, we demonstrate how interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy sets (IVIFSs) can function as extended intuitionistic fuzzy sets (IFSs) using the interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy numbers (IVIFNs) instead of precision numbers to describe the degree of membership and non-membership, which are more flexible and practical in dealing with a...

Outsourcing is the action of contracting a specific task, function, or process to an external company instead of using an organisation’s resources. The history of outsourcing goes back to the 1980s when it was used for cost reduction in non-core business operations. Over time, outsourcing has moved to more strategic areas and has become an importan...

Among the risk assessment methods, failure modes and effects analysis (FMEA) is a popular, widely used engineering technique in many areas. It can be used to identify and eliminate known or potential failure modes to enhance reliability and safety of complex systems. In practice, risk estimations encounter difficulties connected with shortage of da...
