A Novel Symmetric Anchor Scoring (SAS) Method for Industrial Location Selection: Application to Electric Vehicle Manufacturing in Tamil Nadu, India
Abstract: This work highlights the city-level detail of decision-making enabled by a new MCDM method Symmetry Anchor Scoring (SAS). Generally conventional methods are good at selecting one best and one worst alternative, but not differentiating among the many strong contenders more likely in practice. Linking MCDM methods to the tradition of decision making, the paper discusses the mathematics and analogical basis of SAS design, provides a visual proof of its ideal …

A Novel Direct Weighted Deviation (DWD) Method for Agricultural Enterprise Selection: A Case Study of Namakkal District, Tamil Nadu
Abstract: The study proposes a novel Direct Weighted Deviation (DWD) method for Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) by eliminating normalization, distance metrics, and pairwise comparisons. DWD is thereafter used to evaluate and select ten rainfed agricultural enterprises against ten generic and context-specific viability criteria in Namakkal District, Tamil Nadu, a water-scarce region in India. Subsequently, other methods (AHP, SAW, WPM, and TOPSIS) are used to obtain a comparative second opinion and validate …

A Monte Carlo Simulation Approach to Decision Analytics in Manufacturing and Industrial Automation Project Management
Abstract: Manufacturing and industrial automation projects face high uncertainty and risk arising from factors such as complex supply chains, equipment variability, and fluctuating production demands. If not properly managed, these uncertainties can lead to costly delays, unplanned downtime, and budget overruns that jeopardize project success. Given the shortcomings of deterministic planning in such volatile environments. If not properly managed, it can lead to costly delays and failures if not properly managed. …

Atmospheric Modeling: A Comprehensive Review of Numerical Approaches and Applications
Abstract: Atmospheric modeling plays a crucial role in understanding and predicting atmospheric processes, weather patterns, and climate variability. This review synthesizes current methodologies and applications across several types of atmospheric models, including numerical weather prediction (NWP), climate models, air quality models, and chemical transport models. We explore the intricacies of data assimilation, model evaluation, parameterization, and the importance of high-performance computing in advancing model accuracy and efficiency. Special emphasis is placed …
