EXTENSION OF VIKOR METHOD FOR SUPPLIER SELECTION BASED ON AXIOMATIC FUZZY SET

Lili Tao, Lishi Zhang, Lifeng Zhang

ABSTRACT:A new method is proposed to solve multi-criteria decision-making problems in which both the criteria values and criteria weights take the form of linguistic information based on the traditional idea of VIKOR method. In this paper, the linguistic values are represented by membership degrees applying the axiomatic fuzzy set (AFS) theory, so that the application of VIKOR method is extended. Moreover, the supplier selection is used to illustrate the application of the proposed approach.

Keywords:Multi-criteria decision making, extended VIKOR method, AFS theory, supplier selection
