Simple Additive Weighting Methods of Multi criteria Decision Making and Applications: A Decade Review

摘要: Various multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) methods have been proposed to solve diverse applications of problems. One the MCDM is additive weighting-based method. However, this method not explicitly disseminated and its are not-well received by many enthusiasts. This paper presents a review simple weighting (SAW) fuzzy (FSAW) from 2003 2013. Two classifications individual approaches integrated were made in paper. Related articles appearing international journals 2013 gathered analyzed. From observation, it was noticed that ten out nineteen or fifty two percent applied SAW FSAW management selection process. provides most prevalent application also aids researchers choosing appropriate based methods. would offer useful information for other since latest evidence about FSAW. Decision becomes an integral part our daily lives will be used complex problems including with multiple conflicting criteria.
