DEFUZZIFICATION WITHIN A MULTICRITERIA DECISION MODEL

In many cases, criterion values are crisp in nature, and their values are determined by economic instruments, mathematical models, and/or by engineering measurement. However, there are situations when the evaluation of alternatives must include the imprecision of established criteria, and the development of a fuzzy multicriteria decision model is necessary to deal with either "qualitative" (unquantifiable or linguistic) or incomplete information. The proposed fuzzy multicriteria decision model (FMCDM) consists of two phases: the CFCS phase - Converting the Fuzzy data into Crisp Scores, and the MCDM phase - MultiCriteria Decision Making. This model is applicable for defuzzification within the MCDM model with a…
