A Multi-Criteria Analysis Model under an Interval Type-2 Fuzzy Environment with an Application to Production Project Decision Problems

Authors

Abstract:

Using Multi-Criteria Decision-Making (MCDM) to solve complicated decisions often includes uncertainty, which could be tackled by utilizing the fuzzy sets theory. Type-2 fuzzy sets consider more uncertainty than type-1 fuzzy sets. These fuzzy sets provide more degrees of freedom to illustrate the uncertainty and fuzziness in real-world production projects. In this paper, a new multi-criteria analysis model is introduced based on new compromise ratio and relative preference relation methods by vicinity to positive ideal and distance from negative ideal concepts under an interval type-2 fuzzy environment. Also, qualitative criteria are expressed as linguistic variables. Relative preference relation is more reasonable than defuzzification, because defuzzification cannot provide preference degree between two fuzzy numbers and cannot keep all the information. In this paper, an extended relative preference relation over the average is presented to deal with numeral values. Finally, a real application to designing and manufacturing of small electronic components, particularly for the aviation, defense, and space industries, is adopted from the literature and solved to determine the critical path by considering efficient criteria such as time, cost, risk, and quality.

A Multi-Criteria Decision-Making Approach with Interval Numbers for Evaluating Project Risk Responses

The risk response development is one of the main phases in the project risk management that has major impacts on a large-scale project’s success. Since projects are unique, and risks are dynamic through the life of the projects, it is necessary to formulate responses of the important risks. Conventional approaches tend to be less effective in dealing with the imprecise of the risk response deve...

An Assessment Method for Project Cash Flow under Interval-Valued Fuzzy Environment

Effective project management requires reliable knowledge of cash required in different stages of project life cycle. Getting this knowledge is highly dependent on sophisticated consideration of project environment. Nature of projects and their environments are associated with uncertain conditions. In this paper, a new project cash flow assessment method based on project scheduling is proposed t...

Multi-attribute group decision making using combined ranking value under interval type-2 fuzzy environment

In this paper, we investigate a new method to handle multiple attribute group decision making (MAGDM) problems based on combined ranking value under interval type-2 fuzzy environment, in which all the attribute values provided by experts take the form of interval type-2 fuzzy sets (IT2FSs). We first introduce some basic concepts and related operational laws on IT2FSs. Then, we put forward three...
