TL;DR
A fuzzy group decision-making method is proposed for multi-objective decision problems that allows group members to express their fuzzy preferences for decision objectives, fuzzy judgements for solution selection rules and weights for group members.
Abstract
A decision is often made in a group and decision makers often utilize fuzzy judgments in attempting to reach an optimal solution. In order to deal with the fuzziness of decision makers' judgments in solutions, this paper proposes a fuzzy group decision-making method for multi-objective decision problems. The method allows group members to express their fuzzy preferences for decision objectives, fuzzy judgements for solution selection rules and weights for group members. A [mal decision can be made based on a group selection matrix. This group decision-making method aggregates all group members' fuzzy opinions and judgments into the final group decision in a most acceptable degree.
