Revolutionizing Multi-Criteria Decision Making with the Triangular Fuzzy Geometry Bonferroni Mean Operator (TFGBM)
Abstract
This study investigates the Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) topic to address the complexities of decision processes involving ambiguous information. We introduce the Triangular Fuzzy Geometric Bonferroni Mean (TFGBM) operator, a novel aggregation technique inspired by the Geometric Bonferroni Mean (GBM) concept. This operator is intended to aggregate triangular fuzzy numbers within MCDM problems effectively. We thoroughly investigate the properties of TFGBM and its distinct forms to ensure its practical utility. We introduce the Triangular Fuzzy Geometric Weighted Bonferroni Mean (TFGWBM) operator to accommodate situations where input factors have variable degrees of significance. Based on this foundation, we present a comprehensive framework for decision-making involving multiple attributes in ambiguous triangular fuzzy environments. A relevant case study regarding selecting an optimal location for a Halal center demonstrates the efficacy and applicability of our methodology. We emphasize the tangibility and efficiency of the suggested methodology in improving decision-making processes by emphasizing this real-world application.
