Abstract

One of the strategies in decision making by using quantity data such as multi criterion decision making. It helps the manager by considering different factors, which some of them are Conflict, to make a decision rationally. The purpose of this research is presenting a plan to approximate a decision making discrete space by using optimization models in order to reach an Ultimate criterion to compare and analyze performance of conventional strategies of multi criterion decision making. The mentioned method, which is a compilation quality and quantity Approaches. In a case study and to rank the effective parameters in agility of distribution chain of Fars province combine owners has purposed and implemented. These parameters used three conventional methods, such as Weighty and Topsis and electrical to rank. Outcome results in three methods were different and have integrated by means of Triple integration. Module ranking of parameters such as sensitivity, response to market and customer, Speed in doing of circumstance and introduction new products were placed in first rate respectively. After that, right planning, expenditure reduction, using IT, process and task integration, customer satisfaction, Flexibility, quality of service providence, and develop of staffs place in second to ninth ranks respectively.
