FUZZY DECISION SUPPORT SYSTEM FOR MULTICRITERION ANALYSIS

摘要

Multicriterion Decision Making (MCDM) has emerged as an effective methodology as it can integrate quantitative and qualitative criteria for selection of the best alternative. On the other hand, fuzzy logic is gaining importance due to its flexibility in handling imprecise subjective data obtained due to uncertain environment. In the present study two fuzzy logic based MCDM methods are adopted. The two selected methods are implemented in Visual Basic environment to develop a decision support system and named as FDSS (Fuzzy Decision Support System). FDSS is applied to a case study of Sri Ram Sagar Project (SRSP), India for selecting best performing irrigation sub system. Both the methods suggested the same irrigation sub system as the best. It is concluded that integration of MCDM with fuzzy logic methodology for real world decision making is found to be effective.
