Multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) methodology using an improved S-shaped membership function has been developed for finding out the "best candidate FMS alternative" from a set of candidate-FMSs. The MCDM model trade-offs among various parameters, viz., design parameters, economic considerations, etc., affecting the FMS selection process under multiple, conflicting-in-nature criteria environment. The selection of FMS is made according to the error output of the results found from the proposed MCDM model. date: 2007 publisher: IJICIC Editorial Office official_url: https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-38049061772&partnerID=40&md5=828f2e8eaeb8da9b97e57e6d254e667f full_text_status: none publication: International Journal of Innovative Computing, Information and Control volume: 3 number: 1 pagerange: 131-140 refereed: TRUE issn: 13494198 citation: Bhattacharya, A. and Abraham, A. and Vasant, P. and Grosan, C.
