MULTIMOORA-IFN: A MCDM Method Based on Intuitionistic Fuzzy Number for Performance Management

Abstract: The paper presents a multi-criteria decision making method to tackle intuitionistic fuzzy numbers, namely MULTIMOORA-IFN. Being an extension of the crisp MULTIMOORA method, the MULTIMOORA-IFN is designed to facilitate group decision making with uncertain information. The proposed methods consists of the three parts—the Ratio System, the Reference Point, and the Full Multiplicative Form—specific with different aggregation techniques. Furthermore, the robustness of the decision making process can be improved by employing ordered aggregation operators, for instance an intuitionistic fuzzy power ordered weighted average operator or an intuitionistic fuzzy power ordered weighted geometric operator. A numerical simulation exhibits the possibilities for application of the proposed method.
