A New Pythagorean Fuzzy Based Decision Framework for Assessing Healthcare Waste Treatment |
Abstract | ||
---|---|---|
Suitable management and treatment of healthcare waste (HCW) have become a key issue due to its potential risk to human health and the environment, predominantly in emerging nations. The selection of an optimal HCW treatment (HCWT) option is a complicated multicriteria decision-making (MCDM) problem that includes several incompatible qualitative and quantitative attributes. This article presents an extended MCDM methodology for assessing and choosing the HCWT options using Pythagorean fuzzy stepwise weight assessment ratio analysis (PF-SWARA) and additive ratio assessment (PF-ARAS) approaches. To do this, attribute weights are estimated by the SWARA model and the ARAS framework decides the preference order of the options on Pythagorean fuzzy sets (PFSs). Furthermore, a selection problem of HCWT options in India is presented within PFSs to illustrate the efficiency and practicality of the introduced framework. Comparative discussions and sensitivity analysis are presented to demonstrate the rationality and stability of the developed approach for prioritizing HCWT options. |
