Abstract |
|
|
For development of state policy, railway traffic has great
importance, considering necessary reduction of traffic
pollution, strengthening and increase of the national rail
company. According to the rail market liberalization and
deregulation, a rail company has to be flexible and open to the
current trends on the market. The organizational design has
great importance, since a rail company with an adequate
structure can take a better position on the transport market.
Organizational structure enables a company to achieve its
planned strategic goals and to function effectively and
efficiently. In this paper, Fuzzy analytic network process was
used as a solution for making a decision, which alternative was
optimum, considering the variety of data, and their uncertainty,
interactions and feedback. This method was applied as a tool for
choosing the optimal organizational structure, and it was
presented at numerical example based on the data from the
Montenegro Railway.
Key words:
Organizational design,
Fuzzy numbers, analytic network process,
