Abstract
In this paper, a fresh multi-attribute decision-making (MADM) method is proposed for group-oriented decision analysis. For group-oriented multi-attribute decision-making (GOMADM) problems, this paper proposes local advantage–disadvantage degrees and advantage–disadvantage degrees from the perspective of a strict attribute containing relation between group members and other group members, and studies the related properties. Based on the above two degrees, a new GOMADM method is designed, and this method is locally optimized according to the related properties. Finally, an example is used to analyze the rationality of the GOMADM method, and their ranking results are comparatively analyzed and discussed.
