Abstract

In this paper, a new Multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) method based on Z-number is proposed to deal with linguistic decision making problems. The decision making process can be easily realized step by step with the arithmetic operations on Z-numbers. A few numerical examples and a practical example on MCDM is used to illustrate the efficiency of the proposed method.
