Sustainable supplier selection in healthcare industries using a new MCDM method: Measurement of alternatives and ranking according to COmpromise solution (MARCOS)

An extended TODIM multi-criteria group decision making method for green supplier selection in interval type-2 fuzzy environment

In recent years several previous scholars made attempts to develop, extend, propose and apply Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) for solving problems in decision making issues Indeed, there are questions, how TOPSIS can help for solving these problems? Or does TOPSIS solved decision making problems in the real world? Therefore, this study shows the recent developments of TOPSIS approach which are presented by previous scholars To achieve this objective, there are 105 reviewed papers which developed, extended, proposed and presented TOPSIS approach for solving DM problems The results of the study indicated that 49 scholars have extended or developed TOPSIS technique and 56 scholars have proposed or presented new modifications for problems solution related to TOPSIS technique from 2000 to 2015 In addition, results of this study indicated that, previous studies have modifications related to this technique in 2011 more than other years

A consensus-based probabilistic linguistic gained and lost dominance score method

Interval type-2 fuzzy set (IT2FS) offers interesting avenue to handle high order information and uncertainty in decision support system (DSS) when dealing with both extrinsic and intrinsic aspects of uncertainty. Recently, multiple attribute decision making (MADM) problems with interval type-2 fuzzy information have received increasing attentions both from researchers and practitioners. As a result, a number of interval type-2 fuzzy MADM methods have been developed. In this paper, we extend the VIKOR (VlseKriterijumska Optimizacijia I Kompromisno Resenje, in Serbian) method based on the prospect theory to accommodate interval type-2 fuzzy circumstances. First, we propose a new distance measure for IT2FS, which is comes as a sound alternative when being compared with the existing interval type-2 fuzzy distance measures. Then, a decision model integrating VIKOR method and prospect theory is proposed. A case study concerning a high-tech risk evaluation is provided to illustrate the applicability of the proposed method. In addition, a comparative analysis with interval type-2 fuzzy TOPSIS method is also presented.

Sustainable supplier selection based on AHPSort II in interval type-2 fuzzy environment

The Maclaurin symmetric mean (MSM) was originally introduced by Maclaurin and then generalized by Detemple and Robertson. The prominent characteristic of the MSM is that it can capture the interrelationship among the multi-input arguments. However, the researches on MSM are very rare, especially in fuzzy decision making. In this paper, we investigate the MSM operator and extend the MSM operator to intuitionistic fuzzy environment. Some new aggregation operators based on MSM for dealing with intuitionistic fuzzy information are developed, such as the intuitionistic fuzzy Maclaurin symmetric mean (IFMSM) and the weighted intuitionistic fuzzy Maclaurin symmetric mean (WIFMSM). Some desirable properties and special cases of these operators are discussed in detail. Based on WIFMSM operator, an approach to multiple attribute decision making (MADM) problems with intuitionistic fuzzy information is developed. Finally, a practical example is provided to illustrate the practicality and effectiveness of the proposed method.
