TL;DR

A more general approach to the fuzzy TODIM, which takes into account the membership and the non-membership of the fuzzy information is considered, and it is possible to tackle more challenging MCDM problems.

Abstract

The recently developed fuzzy TODIM (an acronym in Portuguese for iterative multi-criteria decision making) method using fuzzy numbers has been applied to uncertain MCDM problems with promising results. In this paper, a more general approach to the fuzzy TODIM, which takes into account the membership and the non-membership of the fuzzy information is considered. So, the fuzzy TODIM method has been extended to handle intuitionistic fuzzy information. This way, it is possible to tackle more challenging MCDM problems. Two case studies are used to illustrate and show the suitability of the developed method.
