The Autonomous Vehicle (AV) industry is constantly growing, thus analysing its perspectives is essential. However, for this analysis a sophisticated approach is necessary which considers the ambiguity of decision-makers, and different objectives and criteria related to stakeholders. In this paper a new model is proposed based on Decomposed Fuzzy Sets and the Best-Worst Method to deal with possible non-reciprocity of pairwise comparisons and different preferences of stakeholders in the AV industry. The main advantage of the model is that it is capable of considering optimistic and pessimistic attitudes along with the different objectives and criteria of the involved groups. The results show that users require short travel time, while operators, manufacturers and legislators expect mainly the increase of revenues from the AV implementation. Among the most important criteria, our analysis indicates the need of regulatory and safety issues are the most essential obstacles of expanding the AV industry. The new model can also be applied for evaluating the perspectives of other emerging technologies and industrial sectors.

“Strategy implementation” is an inseparable part of strategic management process. Transformation strategies to typical operations and daily functions of staff exert a significant role in organization success. Balanced scorecard (BSC) and strategy map help senior managers to perfectly implement and monitor the accomplishment of the strategies by transforming strategies into operational programs. Using BSC and strategy map, the strategies are translated into some action plans which help the achievement of organizational goals and strategies. Due to shortage of resources, usually all organization's action plans cannot be implemented completely; therefore, managers should make use of some tools for assigning and selecting more efective action plans. In this paper, a procedure is suggested on the basis of grey TOPSIS to determine the preference of action plans to better aid managers in selection of the most effective action plans in a group decision making process.

Grey numbers facilitate the representation of uncertainty not only for elements of a set, but also the set itself as a whole. This paper utilizes the notion of possibility degree from grey system theory coupled with the idea of dominance relation and partial order set (poset) from rough theory to represent uncertain information in a manner that maintains the degree of uncertainty of information for each tuple of the original data. Concept lattices of grey information system are constructed and a decision-making algorithm that combines with grey relational grade is described. A case study is used to demonstrate the supplier selection problem applying the proposed method. The research has concluded that the method is appropriate to use.

The aim of the current research is to measure objective congruence (incongruence) of the results obtained in a process of multiple criteria analysis when applying different MCDM methods. The methodology for evaluation of ranking results is developed on the ground of a case study of the redevelopment of derelict buildings as well as on composed experimental tasks. Fuzzified COPRAS, TOPSIS and VIKOR methods are applied for ranking the alternatives. Calculation results are evaluated by applying mathematical statistics methods. A methodology for measuring the congruence (incongruence) of the relative significances of alternatives is proposed.

In the presented paper a method for treating a random signal bearing an information about the behaviour of a technological process is given. The main goal of the given method is to remove possible failures arising in analog sensors, which yield nonstationary behaviour of an observed signal. Then the smoothed signal is tested by a suitable test described in the paper for the regular or irregular behaviour of a technological process. One understands by the regular behaviour of a technological process that within prescribed bounds.
