本文的主要目的是提出一种新的虚拟企业组建过程中伙伴选择的模糊方法。简要描述了虚拟企业生命周期的各个阶段，并指出伙伴关系的选择是形成这种复杂组织的关键因素。有理由将伙伴关系选择过程描述为一个不确定条件下的多准则决策问题。在层次分析法的基本框架下，提出了一种新的模糊规划方法，用于评价伙伴关系选择标准的不确定权重和备选伙伴的不确定得分。该模糊排序方法使用区间两两比较判断，而不是比较比率的精确数值，将初始排序问题转化为线性规划问题。该方法可以从不一致的区间判断矩阵中得到排序，从而克服了现有区间排序方法的缺陷。此外，该方法推广了已知的优先排序方法，因为它可用于从精确的、区间的或混合的比较矩阵中得出优先级，而不管它们的一致性。最后给出了一个算例，说明了该方法在伙伴关系选择过程中的应用。
The main objective of this paper is to present a new fuzzy approach to partnership selection in the formation of virtual enterprises. The phases of the virtual enterprise life cycle are briefly described and it is shown that the partnership selection is a key factor in the formation of such complex organisations. It is justified that the partnership selection process should be formulated as a multiple criteria decision-making problem under uncertainty. A new fuzzy programming method is proposed for assessment of uncertain weights of partnership selection criteria and uncertain scores of alternative partners, in the basic framework of the Analytic Hierarchy Process. The proposed fuzzy prioritisation method uses interval pairwise comparison judgements rather than exact numerical values of the comparison ratios and transforms the initial prioritisation problem into a linear program. The method can derive priorities from inconsistent interval comparison matrices, thus eliminating the drawbacks of the existing interval prioritisation methods. Moreover, the method generalises the known prioritisation methods, since it can be used for deriving priorities from exact, interval or mixed comparison matrices, regardless of their consistency. A numerical example, illustrating the application of this method to partnership selection process is given.
