Title
Hesitant Fuzzy Best-Worst Multi-Criteria Decision-Making Method And Its Applications
Abstract
Best-worst method (BWM) is extended to uncertain situations, hesitant fuzzy best-worst method (HFBWM) is proposed by using hesitant fuzzy multiplicative preference relation for multiple-criteria group decision-making problems. The reference comparison of the best criterion and the worst criterion are described by the linguistic terms, which are expressed in hesitant fuzzy elements, of the decision makers. Weights of criteria are calculated by using score function. Using the concept of BWM, nonlinearly constrained optimization problems are formed to obtain hesitant fuzzy weights (HFWs) of different criteria and alternatives. To check the reliability of the HFBWM, consistency ratio is proposed. The advantage and suitability of the proposed HFBWM are determined by three case studies. The results indicate that the HFBWM, due to higher comparison consistency as compared to BWM, obtain plausible preference ranking for alternatives.
