Solving the Nominal-the-Best Decision-Making Problem by Grey-Fuzzy Linguistic Method

Abstract

This article combines two well-developed notions: the grey relations method (GRM) and fuzzy linguistic scoring technique, for solving the problem of qualitative and quantitative criterions coexistence due to the original GRM being unable to effectively handle the simple qualitativeorientated solution. Further, an empirical process adopting GRM with the fuzzy technique has successfully proved the ratings of every alternative with two types of objectives can be an optimal approach. This conclusion can be utilized to help solve other related computing issues.
