Abstract :
This paper investigates multiple attribute decision-making (MADM) problems with preference information on alternatives. Principle of variable weights evaluation is introduced first. Then, a new algorithm, fuzzy inference variable weights method, is proposed. The principle of fuzzy logic control (FLC) and available techniques of variable weights evaluation are merged together, to formulate the new method to determine the adjusted weights of attributes for MADM problems with preferences. An example is provided to illustrate the utility and effectiveness of the proposed method.
