Multiple Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) shows signs of becoming a maturing field. There are four quite distinct families of methods: (i) the outranking, (ii) the value and utility theory based, (iii) the multiple objective programming, and (iv) group decision and negotiation theory based methods. Fuzzy MCDM has basically been developed along the same lines, although with the help of fuzzy set ...

The linguistic terms used to describe the qualitative data in problems are symmetrical about central word. With increasing complexity and a large number of DMs with different domain expertise involved decision-making, symmetric term set seems constricted. This paper examines multiple-criteria group decision-making which decision-makers use unbalanced 2-tuple alternative–criteria assessments mat...

the current study set to extend a new vikor method as a compromise ranking approach to solve multiple criteria decision-making (mcdm) problems through intuitionistic fuzzy analysis. using compromise method in mcdm problems contributes to the selection of an alternative as close as possible to the positive ideal solution and far away from the negative ideal solution, concurrently. using atanasso...

decision making about outsourcing or insourcing of manufacturing activities is a type of multiple criteria decision making (mcdm) problem, which requires considering quantitative and qualitative factors as evaluation criteria simultaneously. therefore, a suitable mcdm method can be useful in this area as it can consider the interactions among quantitative and qualitative criteria. the analytic ...
