TLDR
A fuzzy version of Saaty's pairwise comparison method (1980) extended by de Graan and Lootsma (1981), adapted in such a way, that decision-makers are asked to express their opinions in fuzzy numbers with triangular membership functions.About:

Consistency analysis and group decision making based on triangular fuzzy additive reciprocal preference relations
Zhou-Jing Wang,Xiayu Tong +1 more
TL;DR: A cross-ratio-expressed triplet is used to characterize a positive triangular fuzzy number, and notions of cross-Ratio-Expressed triangular fuzzy numbers (CRETFNs) and triangular fuzzy additive reciprocal preference relations (TFARPRs) are introduced.

Analysis of the efficiency of insurance companies in Serbia using the fuzzy AHP and TOPSIS methods
TL;DR: In this article, a fuzzy multi-criteria model was proposed to assess the efficiency of insurance companies in the Serbian insurance sector. But, the model was only used for the assessment and rating of the insurance companies.

A method for solving fuzzy multicriteria decision problems with dependent criteria
Jaroslav Ramík,Radomir Perzina +1 more
TL;DR: A special SW-Microsoft Excel add-in named FVK was developed for applying the proposed MCDM method, able to work with fuzzy data and utilizes capabilities of widespread spreadsheet Microsoft Excel.

Mapping of groundwater potential zones using the fuzzy analytic hierarchy process and geospatial technique
TL;DR: In the present study, the delineation of GWPZs is done using an integrated approach of geospatial technique and fuzzy-analytic hierarchy process (a hybrid method that combines fuzzy set theory and AHP) to generate a map of the area.
Journal ArticleDOI
Analysis of product design characteristics for remanufacturing using Fuzzy AHP and Axiomatic Design
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors identify the design criteria of a product that can enhance its remanufacturability and subsequently, using these design criteria a hierarchical model is developed to evaluate the remanufacturable capability between the product alternatives.

Paper: Rating and ranking of multiple-aspect alternatives using fuzzy sets
TL;DR: A method to deal with multiple-alternative decision problems under uncertainty by considering each of these variables as fuzzy quantities, characterized by appropriate membership functions of fuzzy sets induced by mappings is proposed.

Comparison of fuzzy sets on the same decision space
James F. Baldwin,N.C.F. Guild +1 more
TL;DR: Methods of evaluating the parameter used in decision-making are given which can be varied to incorporate different utility functions and a new approach is described which overcomes their drawbacks.
Journal ArticleDOI
A procedure for multiple-aspect decision making using fuzzy sets
TL;DR: The qualitative terms of the alternatives are represented quantitatively using fuzzy sots and then the fuzzy optimal alternative is computed and gives the relative merit of each alternative and thus helps in decision making.

Saaty's priority theory and the nomination of a senior professor in operations Research
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors briefly sketch Saaty's priority theory which has been developed to assign weights (priorities) to a multiple of decision criteria via pairwise comparison of the criteria.
