Abstract
The multi-attribute scoring methods are widely used while comparing the alternatives because of their simplicity. In the case of incomplete information and vagueness, these multi-attribute scoring methods have been extended to obtain the fuzzy versions. In this chapter, fuzzy simple additive weighting methods and fuzzy multiplicative weighting methods are explained with numerical examples.
