Abstract
- In recent decades, many multi-attribute decision-making methods have not been effectively applied to solve practical problems because of various shortcomings. The purpose of this paper is to develop a novel dynamic multi-attribute decision-making (DMADM) method based on the improved weights function and score function. In this paper, a novel method based on the improved entropy of interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy sets is applied to calculate attribute weight. A time weight method is developed via the multi-target nonlinear programming model based on the ideal solution and information entropy. The influence of decision-makers' subjective preference and objective attribute information are integrated into the time weight. A novel ranking method based on the improved score function is used to select the best alternative in the DMADM process. Moreover, the interaction among attributes is considered by the interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy geometric weighted Heronian means operator in the proposed method. Finally, an example of partner selection with collaborative innovation is given to verify the developed approach. This study contributes to the development of DMADM theory by using improved attribute weight, time weight, and score functions, and offers us a very useful way to deal with DMADM problems in real life.
