Features: Multi-attribute decision-making (or referred to as multi-objective decision-making with a limited number of solutions) is an important component of modern decision science. Its theories and methods have broad applications in various fields such as engineering design, economics, management, and military, including: investment decision-making, project evaluation, factory location selection, bidding and tendering, maintenance services, weapon system performance assessment, industrial department development ranking, and comprehensive evaluation of economic benefits. In recent years, due to the complexity, uncertainty, and fuzziness of objective things, as well as the ambiguity of human thinking, research on multi-attribute decision-making problems under uncertain environments has attracted significant attention. This book introduces methods for uncertain multi-attribute decision-making (including uncertain multi-attribute group decision-making) and their applications in various areas such as supply chain management, venture capital, teacher quality evaluation, cadre selection, product improvement, and partner selection in virtual enterprises. This book can serve as a textbook for senior undergraduate and graduate students in operations research, information science, and systems engineering at universities, as well as a reference for engineering technicians, management personnel, teachers, and scholars in related fields.
