ABSTRACT
The paper presents a new approach to the fuzzy SAW method, which uses fuzzy entropy. It allows to identify the best alternative by the application FSAW method if decision makers use fuzzy numbers or linguistic variables. Moreover, the presented method allows to avoid subjectivity and imprecision caused by incomplete knowledge, judgments, opinions and preferences of decision makers.
KEYWORDS
fuzzy numbers, SAW method, entropy, objective weights, linguistic variables
