Article Abstract
The modern competition is moving quickly toward incorporating cutting-edge technological improvements to support Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in enhancing their business models. Making decisions regarding implementing new technologies in SMEs is a challenging process driven by the continuous new advances in the technology industry. Important operational process decisions, such as organizational investment costs, technology acquisition, maintenance, customer experience, employee training for the proper use of each technology, reliability requirements, and security needs, must be made very carefully for such adoptions. In this research, a novel multi-criteria decision-making process model is presented to help SME decision-makers choose the optimal technology from a list of desirable choices. The proposed approach makes use of a weighted multi-criteria decision model to rank parameters by combining many criteria that are crucial in choosing the best-suited technology. A literature review and expert opinion are utilized to pinpoint key decision-makers for the adoption of technological innovation. Specialists had reviewed the proposal in the field, and early findings suggest that it might be helpful to SME decision-makers in promoting customer value and firm performance.

Reliable and timely fault diagnosis is critical for the safe and efficient operation of industrial systems. However, conventional diagnostic methods often struggle to handle uncertainties, vague data, and interdependent multi-criteria parameters, which can lead to incomplete or inaccurate results. Existing techniques are limited in their ability to manage hierarchical decision structures and overlapping information under real-world conditions.

Purpose: The aim of this study is to present, from the service providers' perspective, a multi-level integrative approach toward prioritization of the factors that are important for healthcare service quality (HSQ). This is necessary to assign and apportion resources and attention to specific areas of concern and help in their improvement, leading to satisfying the overall objective of improving healthcare delivery in the Indian context.
Design/methodology/approach: We employed an integrated decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL), interpretive structural modelling (ISM), and Matrice d'Impacts Croisés Multiplication Appliquée á un Classement (MICMAC) approach to identify the key factors influencing HSQ.

IntroductionThe objective of this study was to present the use of the Problem, Objectives, Alternatives, Consequences, Trade-offs, Uncertainty, Risk, and Linked decisions (PrOACT-URL) and multi-criteria decision analysis (MCDA) frameworks as a methodological innovation with the potential to support decision-making in the process of incorporating and monitoring technologies in the Brazilian Unified Health System (SUS).MethodsThe present is a case study that used these frameworks as a basis for the benefit-risk assessment (BRA) of chemotherapy treatment options for multiple myeloma (MM) in the context of a Brazilian public hospital.ResultsThe application of the PrOACT-URL was not sufficient to guide stakeholders in making decisions about the best treatment alternative for MM, making it necessary to complement the qualitative analysis with the MCDA.

Background: The Vision Zero (VZ) strategy, adopted by the International Social Security Association (ISSA), is based on seven golden rules and 14 safety, health, and well-being (SHW) indicator called VZ Proactive Leading Indicators (VZPLI).
Methods: The study evaluates the status of SHW VZPLI in Iran's Petrochemical Industries by IAM-VZPLI (ISSA Assessment Method for VZPLI) and proposes a new model for assessing these indicators, called EMA-VZPLI (Extended Method for Assessment of VZPLI). EMA-VZPLI uses an integrated method consisting of multi-criteria decision-making(MCDM), the best-worst method(BWM), Decision-Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory (DEMATEL), and axiomatic design(AD) based on hesitant fuzzy(HF) sets.
