In today's competitive markets quality as a competitive advantage is important, but quality always comes with price, so cost of quality recognition and proper division has always attracted attention of many researchers in the literature. The related literature show that from the time quality costing is introduced, all attentions were to identify the different costs of quality and sometimes there were different views to these costs which have similarities in the principle of classifications. Despite to successful reports provided for implementing these methods in identifying costs of quality, it can be seen a gap in improvement processes. Although the identification of costs and improvement projects in this field, often improve the level of products and service quality and ultimately lead to increased customer satisfaction, But certainly there is a significant difference between non-optimum and optimum resource allocation in receiving results. The aim of this study is to design an approach that reach to a certain quality level in a consistent and cost less way. In this approach, after identifying the types of quality costs, difference in importance of costs is determined. The first weight comes from financial results obtained from costs identification, indeed it is the proportion of the financial load of each cost to total quality costs. Stakeholder opinion based on BSC in second weight calculating process comes into AHP as expert group.

In this paper, we present a MCDM model for vendor selection of Telecommunications systems. Decision making in Telecommunications systems (Central) is more important because of their communicational role in organizations. Considering the multiple criteria in the vendor selection of telecommunications systems is a multi-criteria problem. Because these decisions usually are based on the intellectual judgments of managers, Fuzzy logic is used to improve decision making. Literature review and experts opinions used for determining the model indexes and then developed a Fuzzy TOPSIS model with combined weighs. Combined weights are result of integrating various methods such as intellectual judgment of managers, Fuzzy statistical average, modified weight and fuzzy weigh. In this model all numbers are Fuzzy and triangular type. A case study done in Qazvin Islamic Azad University to apply the developed model.

The main purpose of this practical survey is devoted to identify the obstacles of strategic plan implementation among energy sector's contractors and then, to present a classification of identified obstacles on the basis of their priorities. In order to achieve this purpose, 8 factors were chosen as the obstacles of strategic plans in energy sector following the literature review and experts comments, and then applied to 87 managers and senior experts of strategic planning in contracting firms by a questionnaire. The Fuzzy TOPSIS technique is assumed as a well-known Multiple-criteria Decision Making (MCDM) approach. Results showed that organizational structure was received the most priority as an obstacle in implementing strategic plan in contracting industry and operational planning, resource allocation, quality of strategy, communication, strategy executors, control and commitment got subsequent ranks. So, findings of this survey could improve the efficiency of contracting firm's managers to direct the process of strategy implementation and to overcome on identified obstacles

Risk is a potential which causes problems in the implementation of project and fulfillment of objectives. Risk is the innate part of all the projects and it is impossible to eliminate it completely though it can be managed effectively in order to reduce its effects on achieving the project’s objectives. It may occur in the future or not, but its occurrence at least affects one objective including area, time, costs or quality. Therefore identification, analysis and ranking of risk would play a significant role in the fulfillment of project. In this paper, we applied PMBOK Standard for identification of project risk for the construction of flyover junctions in Boushehr Province, and then we used Fuzzy AIIP Technique and Fuzzy TOPSIS Technique for ranking of risk.

This paper extends a kind of evaluation process based on fuzzy TOPS IS approach. By focusing on determining the importance and weights of criteria which are effective on decision making , then selecting by lean on Anthropy and eigenvector methods in which comparison between criteria are linguistic and by achieving the weights we try to show the importance for criteria. The application and the mix of several methods in this paper are used to choose the best tickicide and to rank the available alternatives.
