An integrated fuzzy approach to solving multi-criteria decision making problems / Nor Hanimah Kamis

Multi-criteria decision making (MCDM). Method is a technique where alternatives or options are assessed based on a set of criteria. Criteria weights determination and ranking of alternatives are two important aspects in solving MCDM problems. The evaluation of criteria importance by decision makers...

Method is a technique where alternatives or options are assessed based on a set of criteria. Criteria weights determination and ranking of alternatives are two important aspects in solving MCDM problems. The evaluation of criteria importance by decision makers and performance rating towards alternatives often involve subjective preferences, which are normally vague and imprecise.

Therefore, centroid-index formula (Chen & Chen, 2000, 2003) was utilized in order to transform fuzzy numbers into crisp values, which indirectly gives lesser computation.
