Abstract:

Select an appropriate project is a main key for contractors to increase their profits. In practice, in this area the uncertainty and imprecise of the involved parameters is so high. Therefore, considering fuzzy sets theory to deal with uncertainly is more appreciate. The aim of this paper is present a multi-criteria group decision-making model under an intuitionistic fuzzy set environment. Hence, the weight of each decision maker and each criterion are considered different. Indeed, decision makers' weights are determined based on a novel intuitionistic fuzzy index, and criteria’ weights are specified by proposed method according to the concept of closer to ideal solution and farther from negative ideal solution. Then, the potential projects are ranked based on new intuitionistic fuzzy relative closeness coefficient. Thus, the proposed intuitionistic fuzzy group decision-making model is applied in an illustrative example about construction project selection from the recent literature. Finally, the ranking results are compared with a fuzzy TOPSIS method to indicate the applicability and efficiency of the proposed model.

Evaluating Projects Based on Intuitionistic Fuzzy Group Decision Making

There are various methods regarding project selection in different fields. This paper deals with an actual application of construction project selection, using two aggregation operators. First, the opinion of experts is used in a model of group decision making called intuitionistic fuzzy TOPSIS IFT . Secondly, project evaluation is formulated by dynamic intuitionistic fuzzy weighted averaging D...

Designing a model of intuitionistic fuzzy VIKOR in multi-attribute group decision-making problems

Multiple attributes group decision making (MAGDM) is regarded as the process of determining the best feasible solution by a group of experts or decision makers according to the attributes that represent different effects. In assessing the performance of each alternative with respect to each attribute and the relative importance of the selected attributes, quantitative/qualitative evaluations ar...

A note on decision making in medical investigations using new divergence measures for intuitionistic fuzzy sets

Srivastava and Maheshwari (Iranian Journal of Fuzzy Systems 13(1)(2016) 25-44) introduced a new divergence measure for intuitionisticfuzzy sets (IFSs). The properties of the proposed divergence measurewere studied and the efficiency of the proposed divergence measurein the context of medical diagnosis was also demonstrated. In thisnote, we point out some errors in ...

Resilient Supplier Selection in a Supply Chain by a New Interval-Valued Fuzzy Group Decision Model Based on Possibilistic Statistical Concepts

Supplier selection is one the main concern in the context of supply chain networks by considering their global and competitive features. Resilient supplier selection as generally new idea has not been addressed properly in the literature under uncertain conditions. Therefore, in this paper, a new multi-criteria group decision-making (MCGDM) model is introduced with interval-valued fuzzy sets (I...
