Abstract

This paper presents a weighted UTASTAR (WUTASTAR) method to extend the conventional UTASTAR approach for the multiple criteria decision making(MCDM) problem with uncertain interval information. In this method, the criteria weights of all criteria are firstly used to normalize the performance values of all alternatives. Subsequently, two linear programming models are constructed to determine the marginal utility function of each criterion based on the preference preorder in the reference set. Finally, the overall utility interval of each alternative under evaluation with interval information is calculated and the ranking is obtained based on the degree of possiblity between pairs of alternatives. In the end of this paper, an example for evaluating suppliers is used to illustrate the procedure of the proposed WUTASTAR approach.
