Application Of Multi-attribute Fuzzy Decision Analysis In Engineering

Multi-attribute fuzzy decision analysis is utilized to develop a new interactive cumputer program by assuming that the decision-maker has fuzzy idea about the weightings of the respective criterias and rating of alternatives. In order to demonstrate the capability of this package, an electric power companys' expansion program for the supplying of electric power to the load center is used as an example. The decision-maker can select his/her verbal ratings of the alternatives and verbal weighting of the criterias as an input to the computer. Then, the ranking of alternatives along with the degree of preferability of best alternative relative to the others is read out.
