A fuzzy based self-check capable computerized MCDM aid tool

Sonar is the ear and the eye of the submarine. The core of the sonar composes of the DSP processor, hardware, along with the software. Thus, solving the determination of the best DSP processor among the alternatives problem is an important one. Moreover, handling it requires incorporating both quantitative and qualitative factors into the process, which makes the problem a complex real-life multi-criteria problem. This study proposes a hybrid fuzzy multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) approach that enables the utilization of the tangible and intangible factors along with linguistic variables, incorporates heterogeneousness effect of the DM group members into the decision process and provides self-check capability. Furthermore; by implementing the proposed algorithm a practical fuzzy MCDM aid tool is developed and via employing this tool the algorithm applied to a real case.
