Evaluation and Promotion of University Staff Members

Here’s an example of a decision-making problem related to education: Evaluation and Promotion of University Staff Members

To achieve this, we will utilize the Fuzzy TOPSIS software, which is a powerful decision-making tool designed to handle uncertainty and rank alternatives effectively. Fuzzy TOPSIS takes into account the varying degrees of importance assigned to each criterion and provides a comprehensive evaluation framework. By using this software, we can objectively assess the strengths and weaknesses of different alternatives and make informed decisions that align with the project’s goals of fair evaluation and promotion.

These alternatives represent cities known for their educational opportunities, student-friendly environments, cultural richness, and diverse student communities. Consider the criteria that are most important to you when evaluating and choosing the city that best suits your needs as a student.

1. Objective

Evaluation and Promotion of University Staff Members

2. Determining the model, criteria and alternative

In this step, the model, criteria and alernatives are determined:

model: Fuzzy Topsis
Number of Criteria: 10
Number of Alternatives: 10

Criteria names:

Educational Institutions
Cost of Living
Student-Friendly Environment
Job Opportunities
Safety
Cultural and Social Life
Climate
Transportation
Diversity and Inclusivity
Healthcare Facilities

Alternatives:

Toronto – Canada
Melbourne – Australia
Berlin – Germany
Montreal – Canada
Amsterda – Netherlands
Dubli – Ireland
Barcelon – Spain
Vancouver – Canada
Edinburgh – United Kingdom
Singapore

2. Create decision matrix

After determining the criteria and alternatives, the decision matrix is formed. It organizes criteria in rows and alternatives in columns, assigning scores to each criterion and assessing each alternative’s performance. The table below shows the decision matrix.

	Educational Institutions	Cost of Living	Student-Friendly Environment	Job Opportunities	Safety	Cultural and Social Life	Climate	Transportation	Diversity and Inclusivity	Healthcare Facilities
Toronto – Canada	1	3	3	4	1	5	3	5	1	5
Melbourne – Australia	1	3	4	4	2	2	3	5	1	5
Berlin – Germany	3	4	4	5	5	3	3	3	5	4
Montreal – Canada	4	3	5	4	3	1	1	1	4	5
Amsterda – Netherlands	3	5	4	5	1	4	1	1	5	2
Dubli – Ireland	5	4	5	3	2	4	5	4	1	4
Barcelon – Spain	5	4	5	1	1	3	5	3	3	4
Vancouver – Canada	4	4	1	4	2	2	3	3	3	2
Edinburgh – United Kingdom	5	3	1	5	3	2	5	1	2	5
Singapore	1	1	1	2	3	2	2	5	2	3

3. Run software:

The data is placed in the software and the software is executed. The following video shows the implementation of the software:

4. Get Result
