Abstract

Appraising the alternative among a set versus conflicting factors is taken into account as an essential issue in real-world decision problems. In this paper, a new multicriteria group decision-making (MCGDM) model is introduced with a fuzzy relative preference relation (FRPR) concept and additive ratio assessment (ARAS) method. FRPR is a useful way to reduce time complexity and to avoid pairwise comparisons. Also, a new method for determining the weights of experts by using an extension of the reference point method is presented and added to this new MCGDM model for an aggregation of the experts’ judgments. Finally, a case study about the selection problem of the engineering project in exploration and sampling projects of lead and zinc mine by decisive criteria are solved to denote the capability of the presented model. Furthermore, to illustrate the various applications of the proposed method in different decision problems, an example of literature is solved.
