Fuzzy Multi-Criteria Decision-Making Methods: Engineering Applications

Modern engineering increasingly focuses on managing uncertainty and performing multi-dimensional evaluations due to the growing complexity of natural and artificial systems. This book comprehensively addresses innovative solutions offered by the integration of Multi-Criteria Decision-Making (MCDM) methods and Fuzzy Logic, particularly in cases where classical deterministic models are insufficient. Drawing on real-world case studies from disciplines such as textile, civil, electrical-electronics, geomatics, software, industrial, and geological engineering, it systematically presents the theoretical foundations and application procedures of methods including Fuzzy AHP, TOPSIS, VIKOR, and DEMATEL. The book emphasizes that decision-making is not merely a technical computation process, but a strategic framework incorporating expert judgment, uncertainty, and data noise. Furthermore, it explores the evolving role of decision support systems within the context of emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, data science, financial analytics, and Industry 5.0, offering a holistic guide for both researchers and practitioners.
