چکیده

A simplified description of Fuzzy TOPSIS (Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Situation) is presented. We have adapted the TOPSIS description from existing Fuzzy theory literature and distilled the bare minimum concepts required for understanding and applying TOPSIS. An example has been worked out to illustrate the application of TOPSIS for a multi-criteria group decision making scenario.

Multiple-attribute decision making methods for plant layout design problem

The layout design problem is a strategic issue and has a significant impact on the efficiency of a manufacturing system. Much of the existing layout design literature that uses a surrogate function for flow distance or for simplified objectives may be entrapped into local optimum; and subsequently lead to a poor layout design due to the multiple-attribute decision making (MADM) nature of a layo...

Fuzzy Systems for Multicriteria Decision Making

One of the techniques used to support decisions in uncertain environments is the Fuzzy TOPSIS method. However, from crisp data, this method considers only one fuzzy set in their analysis, besides being a strictly mathematical optimization technique. This article proposes extensions to the original Fuzzy TOPSIS, exploring two distinct versions: to increase the method with the necessary resources...
