Abstract

In this study, an improved VIKOR method was presented to deal with multi-attribute decision-making based on three parameters interval fuzzy number. The attribute weights were unknown but alternative priority of object preference was given. A new non-linear rewards and punishment method in positive interval was proposed to make the attributes normal, information covered reliability and relative superiority degree two methods were used to compare and sort the Three Parameters Interval Fuzzy Number (TPIFN) and a quadratic programming based on contribution was constructed to get attribute weights, then defined the information entropy distance between TPIFN and the optimum object orders was obtained by VIKOR. The numerical example was provided to demonstrate the feasibility and validity.

Keywords:

Multiple attribute decision making, priority orders of preference, rewarding and punishing strategy, three parameters interval fuzzy number, VIKOR,
