In the higher education sector, there is a growing trend to offer academic information to users through websites. Contemporarily, the users (i.e., students/teachers, parents, and administrative staff) greatly rely on these websites to perform various academic tasks, including admission, access to learning management systems (LMS), and links to other relevant resources. These users vary from each other in terms of their technological competence, objectives, and frequency of use. Therefore, academic websites should be designed considering different dimensions, so that everybody can be accommodated. Knowing the different dimensions with respect to the usability of academic websites is a multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) problem. The fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (FAHP) approach has been considered to be a significant method to deal with the uncertainty that is involved in subjective judgment. Although a wide range of usability factors for academic websites have already been identified, most of them are based on the judgment of experts who have never used these websites. This study identified important factors through a detailed literature review, classified them, and prioritized the most critical among them through the FAHP methodology, involving relevant users to propose a usability evaluation framework for academic websites. To validate the proposed framework, five websites of renowned higher educational institutes (HEIs) were evaluated and ranked according to the usability criteria. As the proposed framework was created methodically, the authors believe that it would be helpful for detecting real usability issues that currently exist in academic websites.

Radiology departments face tremendous challenges to meet specific service requirements and reach an acceptable level of patients’ satisfaction. This requires dedicated management attention and effective decision-making process. It is of utmost importance for the management to evaluate the effectiveness of the applied strategies in comparison with the proposed strategies for the performance evaluation of resources. The main goal of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of the applied and proposed management strategies for managing resources in a radiology department of private healthcare facilities. Data were collected regarding the service time and arrival rates. A model is constructed on the Arena simulation software to investigate different strategies of management in a private healthcare facility. The study evidenced that the newly applied strategy is more effective compared to the old one, but there is room for improvement in the services provided to treat all patients on the same day upon arrival with no rescheduled patients. The study demonstrated that the proposed strategy will enable the healthcare facility to treat all patients on the same day upon arrival with no rescheduled patients. In addition to that, the study revealed that the management of private healthcare facilities in Saudi Arabia is more efficient and effective compared to the management of the public healthcare facilities. The study also demonstrated how the Arena simulation software can be utilized to evaluate the effectiveness of the management decision-making process.

In the last few years, most of the public universities in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) have adopted electronic learning (e-learning) as an evolutionary educational platform both by choice and by demand. Despite its many advantages, it has increased the ethical and moral challenges faced in the form of the violations of academic integrity that exist in traditional education. Universities all over the world are struggling to overcome these issues. Keeping this in mind, the purpose of this paper is to investigate and priorities the factors of violating academic integrity within Saudi Arabian universities. Based on the previously published literature and using Delphi - based discussions with e-Learning experts, this paper has identified twelve major factors which were related to e-Learning environment, Awareness on Academic Integrity, and e-Learning guiding principles. Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) was used to prioritize these factors. It was concluded that inappropriate guidelines provided to students was the most contributing factor while Shortage of feedbacks was least contributing factor among all the identified factors.

Due to resource scarcity, environmental impact, and socioeconomic constraints, sustainable criteria should be given prime importance in the construction industry. The sustainability in concrete can be attained using supplementary materials. The numbers of supplementary concrete materials (SCMs) are available ranging from industries by-products, agro-products, waste product, and newly engineered materials. The selection of the supplementary materials is challenging due to the wide range of environmental, technical, and economic constraints. The paper proposes a decision support framework considering technical, environmental, social, and economic sustainability criteria for ranking of concrete supplementary material. The decision framework includes the optimal scoring method- (OSM-) based shortlisting of supplementary materials, with technical and cost characteristics, and subsequent prioritizing material according to sustainable potentiality order using AHP-TOPSIS. The stability of the ranking of sustainable concrete supplementary materials has been verified using sensitivity analysis. The present study develops decision support framework by employing technical characteristics of the most technically sound material used as concrete material. The technical, environmental, and socioeconomic sustainable performance indicators have considered its selection to obtain much needed sustainability and to boost the eco-friendly environment. From the proposed MCDM framework, it is found that engineered siliceous materials and agriculture-based industrial waste products as SCMs will prove to be most sustainable in the construction industry.

Concrete mix design is the science to obtain concrete proportions of cement, water, and aggregate, based on the particular concrete design method and their mix design parameters. However, the suitability of concrete proportion for high-performance concrete depends on resulting mix factors, namely, water, cement, fine aggregate, and coarse aggregate ratios. This paper implements the multicriteria decision-making techniques (MCDM) for ranking concrete mix factors and representative mix design methods. The study presents a framework to identify critical mix factors found from the concrete mix design methods for high-performance concrete using the two-phase AHP and TOPSIS approach. Three methods of concrete mix design, namely, American Concrete Institute (ACI) mix design method, Department of Energy (DOE) method, and Fineness Modulus (FM) method, are considered for ranking mix design methods and the resulting mix factors. Three hierarchy levels, having three criteria and seven subcriteria, and three alternatives are considered. The present research is attempted to provide MCDM framework to rank the concrete mix guidelines for any given environment such as concrete under sulphate and chloride attack and for evolving the performance-based concrete mix design techniques. Sensitivity and validation analysis is also provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach.

Landslides are natural geological disasters causing massive destructions and loss of lives, as well as severe damage to natural resources, so it is essential to delineate the area that probably will be affected by landslides. Landslide susceptibility mapping (LSM) is making increasing implications for GIS-based spatial analysis in combination with multi-criteria evaluation (MCE) methods. It is considered to be an effective tool to understand natural disasters related to mass movements and carry out an appropriate risk assessment. This study is based on an integrated approach of GIS and statistical modelling including fuzzy analytical hierarchy process (FAHP), weighted linear combination and MCE models. In the modelling process, eleven causative factors include slope aspect, slope, rainfall, geology, geomorphology, distance from lineament, distance from drainage networks, distance from the road, land use/land cover, soil erodibility and vegetation proportion were identified for landslide susceptibility mapping. These factors were identified based on the (1) literature review, (2) the expert knowledge, (3) field observation, (4) geophysical investigation, and (5) multivariate techniques. Initially, analytical hierarchy process linked with the fuzzy set theory is used in pairwise comparisons of LSM criteria for ranking purposes. Thereafter, fuzzy membership functions were carried out to determine the criteria weights used in the development of a landslide susceptibility map. These selected thematic maps were integrated using a weighted linear combination method to create the final landslide susceptibility map. Finally, a validation of the results was carried out using a sensitivity analysis based on receiver operator curves and an overlay method using the landslide inventory map. The study results show that the weighted overlay analysis method using the FAHP and eigenvector method is a reliable technique to map landslide susceptibility areas. The landslide susceptibility areas were classified into five categories, viz. very low susceptibility, low susceptibility, moderate susceptibility, high susceptibility, and very high susceptibility. The very high and high susceptibility zones account for 15.11% area coverage. The results are useful to get an impression of the sustainability of the watershed in terms of landsliding and therefore may help decision makers in future planning and mitigation of landslide impacts.

Manufacturing industries consume large amounts of natural resources as inputs to production in order to generate much lower amounts of useful products, leaving a major part of the inputs as by-products which are wastes. Waste disposal, in the present form, has significant adverse impacts on the environment as it can result in pollution of many forms. The present research critically examines the various revolutionary concepts of 'cradle to cradle (C2C)', 'design for green (DfG)', 'triple top line' and 'waste is food' as applied to industrial waste management. The exploratory study examines the prevailing practices and suggests approaches for sustainable industrial waste management. The paper proposes the 'house of sustainable waste management' which is a reference framework for industrial waste management which comprises three parts, 'the hierarchy', 'the pillars' and 'the foundations'. The proposed framework is conceptual in nature and provides a direction for implementation of sustainable industrial waste management.

International Energy Agency Solar Heating & Cooling programme states the fact that space heating and cooling demand account for over 75% of the energy consumed in single and multi-family homes. By avoiding conventional methods for thermal storage, phase change materials (PCMs) provide heat storage and provide nearly constant temperature and at much higher energy storage densities. This technology can meet up to maximum of this demand depending on the region’s climate. Active and passive systems are used for this purpose. This study belongs to passive system, night ambient temperatures and solar energy for cooling and heating of buildings. PCMs could be stored with building substance used in floor to enhance their thermal storage capacity. Compare to other principles for thermal energy storage latent heat storage is competent because of small changes in temperature leads to storage density, promising technologies with low heat losses and attractive prices. This research is carried out to assess the performance of air based PCM storage system for cooling and heating of building. The execution of the concentrated on Phase change material storage system was noted maximum when melting point of Phase change material was 22.5°C in winter season and 28.8°C(∼29°C) during summer period. Summer, whereas 26.8°C was found during remaining part of the year. When the temperature goes below 26.8°C, cooling capacity of system is more as compare to heating capacity. Study also concludes that the effect of melting point of PCM has a great effect on cooling in summer period and its storage can be used in winter season.

E-Learning has become well preferred and accepted tool in teaching-learning of higher education. This pattern of change is owing to the advancement in computer and teaching-learning methodology. The introduction of E-Learning provides the real-time flexibility of time and place. The success of E-Learning depends upon many factors that must be controlled to accomplish effective E-Learning outcome. Moreover, the E-Learning teaching-learning process is also obstructed by several barriers. Stakeholder of E-learning must study and overcome these barriers for getting the benefits of the system. In the present research, MCDM based analytic hierarchy process in its fuzzy form has been applied to study the influence of barriers on the system. Four main dimensions of E-Learning are selected for the study, which are, Student, Instructor, Infrastructure, and Technology and Institutional Management. Twelve barriers under these dimensions are also selected to study their influences on each other. The twelve barriers of E-Learning are quantified using FAHP method and prioritized in terms of control the barriers. The prioritization of such barriers will help the stakeholders to control the E-Learning teaching-learning system.

Advancement of digital technology is influencing the leaping development of various activities in our daily life. E-Learning system has also gained a competitive edge over the prevailing traditional methodology. The prevailing pedagogy is being replaced by the E-Learning teaching system. E-Learning teaching-learning methodology provides more flexibility and allows freedom from time, place, physical presence, hectic, and stressful teaching-learning etc., thus plays a vital role in education system. However, there are many barriers in E-Learning methodology for successful teaching-learning. Study on such barriers will help to overcome the difficulties to the success of E-Learning. Present research paper attempts to study the various barriers that are affecting the successful implementation of E-Learning in Saudi Arabian Universities. This study reviews various barriers from literatures and identified most important E-Learning barriers which are described and grouped in four dimensions such as Student, Instructor, Infrastructure and Technology, and Institutional Management. Sixteen barriers falling under these relevant dimensions were validated their importance quantitatively through university Students, Instructors, and E-Learning staffs of some well know universities in Saudi Arabia. A survey instrument was developed and tested on a sample of 257 respondents of Saudi Arabian Universities. It was found that Infrastructure and Technology Dimension is the most significant as perceived by respondents. Results of the study also reveal that, all barrier factors are highly reliable, therefore should be taken care for successful implementation of E-Learning systems.

The existing performance measurement tool set for green operations is growing but seems inadequate to gauge green supply chain measures (GSCM) comprehensively. Several tools, like multi criteria decision making (MCDM), activity-based costing (ABC), balance scorecard (BSC) and life cycle analysis (LCA) are being used. In view of this, a systematic literature review has been carried out with keywords of performance measurement, green supply chain, supply chain performance measurement and green supply chain performance measurement, which yielded 1,432. Later on, 112 research papers, proceedings are shortlisted having high significance and citation index. Three-tier classification is adopted to encompass scope, methodology and focus. Since prevailing performance measurement tool set for environmental operations is inadequate to assess GSC comprehensively, need for single tool for GSCPM for planning, execution, assessment and management is identified. The present study classifies set of variables into operational, economic and environmental. It also provides systematic research guidelines and managerial implications.

Supply chain flexibility is a strategic and tactical necessity for sustenance and progress of business enterprises. Measurement of flexibility is therefore necessary for its monitoring, control and communication. The study proposes a framework and a methodology for flexibility performance measurement of supply chains. The framework identifies flexibility objectives and its contributing attributes at four levels of the supply chain and suggests taxonomy of flexibility performance measures. A methodology to prioritise the contribution of each performance attribute to achieve the desired flexibility objective using analytic hierarchy process (AHP) has also been proposed and demonstrated in this study. The research is based on detailed literature-based study and analysis of existing frameworks of flexibility performance measurement in supply chain and expert opinion. The proposed framework is suitable for measurement, monitoring and controlling flexibility in a supply chain in addition to prioritising contributing attributes of flexibility. The research does not test the model but suggests a platform for further development.

Supply Chain Flexibility is becoming a key strategic issue for Supply Chain (SC) performance. Performance Measurement Systems (PMS) for Flexibility is critical for its monitoring, control and improvement. A comparative analysis of some widely cited PMS for SC flexibility have been undertaken and it indicates that the flexibility measurement methodology proposed by Beamon, International Journal of Operations & Production Management, 19(3), 275–292, 1999 is a suitable framework for SC Flexibility measurement. However there are limitations in this framework when they are used for benchmarking similar SC. Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) helps in finding relative efficiencies of similar SCs, bench marking and evaluate areas of possible improvements. This paper demonstrates use of DEA with SC Flexibility measurement to facilitate effective measurement and benchmarking of SC flexibility.

Purpose – The paper aims to measure customer experience in Indian banks. This study examines the 14 factors of customer experience and identifies their impact on customer satisfaction. Design/methodology/approach – In this study, psychometric scale development procedure is followed comprising with the steps of item generation and selection, scale refinement and scale validation. A one-way ANOVA test is applied to identify the relationship between 14 experience factors and demographics of respondents. Findings – The findings of the study present a 41-item 14 factor reliable and valid customer experience scale among which “convenience” appears as the most significant among all the factors. Research limitations/implications – This study concentrates on a sector-specific scale, whereas a generalized scale that can be applied in other service sectors should be developed. In comparison with previous studies, the results of the current study provide a more absolute coverage and understanding of various touch points used in measuring customer experience in banks. Practical implications – By this reliable and valid scale, bank managers can identify the current and expected experiences of the customers and can build up effective strategies for the utmost satisfaction of the customers. Originality/value – To the best of the authors' knowledge, this study represents the foremost studies for developing a validated tool to measure the experiences of banks' customers.
