A Combined Fuzzy Analytic Network Process and Fuzzy-TOPSIS Model for Project Risk Assessment

Abstract—The purpose of risk management is to improve project performance by systematically identifying and assessing risks, developing strategies to reduce or avoid them and maximizing opportunities. Probability and impact are two commonly used criteria in project risk assessment. However, these criteria do not sufficiently address all aspects of project risk. Moreover, there may be relations and dependencies among the various criteria. In order to overcome these drawbacks, we proposed a practical framework for project risk assessment. The proposed model allows risks to be ranked based on management priorities using a combined fuzzy analytic network process (fuzzy-ANP) and fuzzy Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (fuzzy-TOPSIS) method. We use fuzzy-ANP for calculating weights of criteria. The outputs of fuzzy-ANP calculations are used in a fuzzy-TOPSIS procedure for the evaluation of important risks. A case study of an Iranian power plant project is presented to illustrate the applicability and performance of the proposed model.

Index Terms—Fuzzy analytic network process, fuzzy tops is, power plant projects, project risk assessment, project risk management.
