Abstract

The real life problems are multidimensional in nature and may involve some ambiguity when it comes to decision making. It is, therefore, difficult to design the evaluation criteria precisely and determine the exact value of the attributes in the multicriteria analysis. The intuitionistic fuzzy set (IFS) achieved great success in treating this kind of ambiguity in a great deal of research. The study of sorting problems is an active research issue in the multiple criteria decision aid (MCDA) area. This paper investigated one of the sorting methods, FLOWSORT, and extended it to the multicriteria group decision making based on the output aggregation of the individual sorting results. The rating of each alternative was described through linguistic terms that can be expressed in triangular intuitionistic fuzzy numbers. An illustrative example as well as an empirical comparison with other multi-criteria decision making methods were carried out to validate our extension.
