Abstract

ABSTRACT: In this paper, a fuzzy protocol for a decision-making problem on the choice of location for establishing a production unit from a set of possible locations is presented. Trapezoidal fuzzy numbers are used in the protocol. The ordering between fuzzy numbers is central to the protocol. A remarkable feature is that there is no case of failure, that is, there exists no case leading to indecision in this protocol. No defuzzification operation is used. A numerical illustration is given. The methodology used is a part of Fuzzy Analytical Hierarchical Methods (FAHM).
