In this study, TOPSIS method combined with intuitionistic fuzzy set is proposed to select appropriate supplier in group decision making environment and Intuitionistic fuzzy weighted averaging (IFWA) operator is utilized to aggregate individual opinions of decision makers for rating the importance of criteria and alternatives.
Abstract
Supplier selection, the process of finding the right suppliers who are able to provide the buyer with the right quality products and/or services at the right price, at the right time and in the right quantities, is one of the most critical activities for establishing an effective supply chain. On the other hand, it is a hard problem since supplier selection is typically a multi criteria group decision-making problem involving several conflicting criteria on which decision maker's knowledge is usually vague and imprecise. In this study, TOPSIS method combined with intuitionistic fuzzy set is proposed to select appropriate supplier in group decision making environment. Intuitionistic fuzzy weighted averaging (IFWA) operator is utilized to aggregate individual opinions of decision makers for rating the importance of criteria and alternatives. Finally, a numerical example for supplier selection is given to illustrate application of intuitionistic fuzzy TOPSIS method.

Amount of Information and Attitudinal-Based Method for Ranking Atanassov's Intuitionistic Fuzzy Values

TL;DR: This paper develops a new novel technique for ranking A-IFVs based on amount of information using the geometrical representation of Atanassov's intuitionistic fuzzy sets (A-IFSs), with the aim of overcoming some drawbacks and ambiguities in existing methods and to build a new ranking model in the A- IFS context from the viewpoint of amount of Information.

Intuitionistic Fuzzy Aggregation Operators

TL;DR: Based on score function and accuracy function, a method is introduced for the comparison between two intuitionistic fuzzy values and some aggregation operators are developed, such as the intuitionism fuzzy weighted averaging operator, intuitionists fuzzy ordered weighted averaging operators, and intuitionistic fuzziness hybrid aggregation operator, for aggregating intuitionist fuzzy values.
