Abstract
Purpose: We introduce a multiple attribute group decision making (MAGDM) method under interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy (IVIF) domain. In these MAGDM problems, attribute values and attribute weights are represented in terms of IVIF sets (IVIFSs). Methodology: The present methodology is divided into two parts. Firstly, an appropriate order function has been developed for IVIFSs. Secondly, an algorithm has been proposed for solving the MAGDM problems with IVIF decision information. Findings: To show the effectiveness of the proposed method, a theoretical comparative study with respect to some existing literature is provided. A real-life based numerical example is given to demonstrate the proposed solution procedure. The advantage of this method is also described. Values: Using proposed order function, interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy hybrid geometric and ordered weighted averaging operators, the present method provides a most preferred alternative in six steps. On the basis of a comparative study, it can be observed that the present method simple and easy to implement for solving the IVIF MAGDM model occurrence in real-life decision making problems.
